Inheritence

 In Psalm 37 the scripture declares 📜 5 times, the meek shall inherit the earth. 

Then in The Sermon on the Mount...Jesus repeats this promise. 

Matthew 5:5

"The meek shall inherit the earth. " 🌎 

Psalm 37 also declares the wicked will wither away like the grass. It is the wicked who will be removed from the earth! 

In reference to the teaching that the earth will be abandoned to the anti christ.....

Now why would the LORD destroy or allow to be destroyed.... what was created for our inheritance? 

Let me also point out a scripture in Revelation...

"And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it" Revelation 21:26 

This describes the New Jerusalem having come down to earth 🌎 and nations still upon the earth. They are coming in & out of the gates which remain open 24/7.

Only those written in The Lambs book can go inside. Why would scripture make a distinction about who can enter if others weren't present? 

This means the earth is still functioning.... continuing with mortal progeny who haven't yet chosen Jesus. 

I'm not denying the "rapture"...I'm simply trying to help people move away from the escape mentality that has come from wrong end time teaching. 

I know a type of rapture is alluded to 7X within scripture. I believe the parable of The Ten Virgins will explain the requirements. Some don't go to the wedding feast but they aren't unsaved. The other 5 were virgins...saved! 

Let's get our eyes off escape & focus on our task at hand. 

We are to steward the earth & disciple nations. That's our commission. 

We are to get equipped with oil. The oil brings the refining fire upon the earth. The fire of a Holy God will refine & heal the earth. It will release a Holy and overwhelming consuming FEAR OF GOD. 

We have yet to experience this real & true fear of God!

It won't harm the earth just as the fire on the burning bush did not consume the bush. It will harm sin & iniquity which the church presently tolerates! 

Our loving inheritance from Jesus is the earth. He redeemed it with His blood. Just a cursory look at the diversity of creatures will reveal the lovingkindness He put into the expression of His thoughts about His creation.  That's only a portion of our inheritance but it's treasure beyond measure. 

The bride will certainly have access to all of creations wonder...yet the earth alone is to be treasured.

We must not give up what He paid for. The idea that Satan will take over the earth is a doctrine of demons. Please take a second look at the source of this theology. 

It will be our task to partner with Christ as His bride....to restore. 

In Luke 19:19 in the Parable of the Minas (Investors) Jesus says this...

"Likewise He said to him, you also will be over 5 cities". Where are believers going to manage cities? Just saying. 

It's not time to pack our bags and exit planet earth. We are to occupy in loving, benevolent dominion & gracefully disciple nations! I am not talking about theocracy. 

Free will is a wondrous gift of God...not to be overridden...ever. Truth Light & Love will prevail because most will choose it when they see it. Let's get to work investing in our wondrous task.

 We have a commission & we have an inheritance. The earth should be our wondrous treasure....just as a bride treasures her Ring & Her Covenant Bridegroom.
