“Shall Inherit the Earth”

THE blessings which our Lord pronounces upon certain characters in Matt. 5: 3-12 are not simply temporal blessings; every blessing reaches into the great beyond. Among those blessings is the following: “Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” Mark, reader, the “meek shall inherit”—not the moon, not Jupiter nor Venus, not some misty realm “beyond the bounds of time and space”—but “the meek shall inherit the earth.” When? — “When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.” See Ps. 37: 9-11, 34. There is no more positive promise in the Word of God.
