Description:
The 'language of Canaan' is a phrase that refers to the prophetic and metaphorical language used by God's chosen people when they talk of the kingdom of God and its realization in the last days. The phrase thus refers at once to a prophetic vocabulary available to contemporary saints as they speak of the future and to the mode of discourse to be enjoyed by those saints when the Scripture promises are fulfilled.
