1 | Who "inherit the earth"? | Matt 5:5 | srbaegon | 55901 | ||
Hello Stokey Those that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ inherit the earth. Of course we have to understand that since this world will be done away with (2 Pet 3:10; Rev 21:1) that it must be the new earth where the new Jerusalem will be. Steve |

2 | Who "inherit the earth"? | Matt 5:5 | stokeyhk | 55958 | ||
And where's that, Steve? Revelation 21:2. Incidently, I'm not saying those who go to heaven will return to the earth. "They are to rule as kings over the earth." (Revelation 5:10, AT) "Destruction of ungodly men," "laid bare"? Yes, "this world" will be done away with, but not planet earth. "The earth remains forever." (2 Peter 3:7, 10, NIV; Ecclesiastes 1:4) Stokey. |

3 | Who "inherit the earth"? | Matt 5:5 | srbaegon | 55989 | ||
Hello Stokey Rev. 21:1 (ESV) Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. New heaven and new earth. First heaven and earth pass away. That's what it says. It would have been natural for Solomon to say the earth remains forever. First, the book of Ecclesiastes is written from the perspective of someone who has lost sight of heaven. Second, Solomon did not have the final prophetic word to know that the earth would be done away with, so he would not have mentioned it. Steve |
