I have a question about the interpretation of the last phrase in Colossians  
1:23 which states:
 
hOU EGENOMHN EGW PAULOS DIAKONOS.
 
hOU is usually take to refer back to TOU EUAGGELIOU, but it comes  
immediately after TON OURANON.  Could hOU refer to heaven rather than the  gospel?  The 
reason I ask is that earlier in the sentence hOU HKOUSATE also  refers back to 
TOU EUAGGELIOU which immediately precedes it.
 
Grateful for comments.
