The meek inherit ?

Post #1

Post by Bobcat »

Christians think the meek inherit the earth but in truth the meek shall inherit the land.

Christians misunderstand scripture!

If you wish to inherit the land you must be freed by the son and walk in the law of the LORD.

The land is not the earth either.

Do you or have you ever walked in the law of the LORD?

REVELATION 21:1

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more

In Revelation 21 verse 1 both the "earth" and the "sea" are SYMBOLIC.


THE EARTH = human society
THE SEA: Turbulant Masses of Mankind (restless, unsettled, rebellious given to unrest and revolution).

Where in the Bible that says that? The verse doesn't even say it is symbolic.

No verse has to say it is symbolic. The whole book of Revelation is mainly symbolic, wouldn't you agree?
