The Kingdoms of God and of Heaven and Other Papers

This long out-of-print gem deals with a topic very few authors have ever dealt with in detail. Van Ryn illuminates the unique distinctions between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God thereby lifting the fog from many of the parables and prophecies given during the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. Van Ryn's concise studies will show conclusively that in this age, the Lord reigns on the throne of the believer's heart in a spiritual government, but in a future day, King Jesus will rule on the earth from the literal throne of David in Jerusalem. When the kingdom of heaven is inaugurated on earth, then will the apostles' question of Acts 1:6 be answered publicly and in the affirmative! The remainder of the book contains several topical studies of Van Ryn's that will provide much food for thought.

The Victory Baptist Press has done a great service to the body of Christ in reprinting this long–forgotten work of August Van Ryn and making it available again to a new generation of Bible Students. This is excellent insight from the pen of one of the great Plymouth Brethren writers.
