BLESSED ARE THE MEEK, FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH The whole world is God’s. In a sense, the Devil has stolen it away for a little bit, but it will soon be back fully in the hands of its rightful owner. Then at last the meek shall inherit the earth. Right now the ungodly powers of this world reign by their cruel, selfish, dog-eat-dog philosophy that gives the world to the strongest, but during the coming kingdom of Christ on earth it will be given to those who really have the right to govern because of their love and meekness and forgiveness and faith in God and His Word. Then, under the supreme reign of Jesus Himself, the pitiful little bands of persecuted Christians and believers are going to inherit the earth and run it by love and the power of God (Daniel 7:27). These weakest and meekest will become the most powerful influences on the earth, and will rule the world with both love and a “rod of iron”—love and loving force, when necessary, to compel the nations to submit to the laws of God and to obey His rules of life, love, health, and happiness. Then at last will there be peace on earth toward men of good will (Revelation 2:26-27; Luke 2:14). — Matthew 11:29 ESV - Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Psalm 25:9 ESV - He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. 1 Peter 3:15 ESV - But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.
