The meek inherit ?

[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?

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?

Some are symbolic and some are literal.
As about earth lexicon define it below; And "Human society" is not one of them

NT:1093 gee, earth
1. arable land: Matt 13:5,8,23
2. the ground, the earth as a standing-place Matt 10:29
3. the main land, opposed to sea or water: Mark 4:1
4. the earth as a whole, the world
a. the earth as opposed to the heavens: Matt 5:18,35
b. the inhabited earth, the abode of men and animals: Luke 21:35
5. a country, land enclosed within fixed boundaries, a tract of land, territory, region; Luke 4:25

The Scripture says plainly that the righteous will inherit the earth/land and live on it forever. How else do you understand these verses?

"For evildoers will be cut off but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth....The meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace....The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein forever." (Psalm 37:9,11,29, KJV)

Your own examples say that "land" and "earth" are the same thing, and people will be living on the earth forever. And you said that "human society" is not one of the definitions of "earth?" Your own listing says that "the inhabited earth is the abode of men and animals." So the Bible does mention a human society living on the earth forever. (See your 1b.)

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

The book of Revelation, as was mentioned, is given in signs. Revelation 1:1
We know the new heavens and new earth are symbolic because this earth is here to stay. Psalm 78:69; Ecclesiastes 1:4; Matthew 6:10; Matthew 5:5

Not much in Revelation is literal.
Is the heaven and earth at Revelation 20:11 literal?

Isn't the earth at Genesis 11:1, not human society?

To add......Are the locusts with the hair of a woman and crowns on their heads literal, in chapter nine?

Human society refers to as group of people, while earth inhabitants refers to all people or human and etc.

Human society refers to as group of people, while earth inhabitants refers to all people or human and etc.

So does "human society" refer to earth's inhabitants. Human society = earth's inhabitants.

Human society refers to as group of people, while earth inhabitants refers to all people or human and etc.

So does "human society" refer to earth's inhabitants. Human society = earth's inhabitants.

Human society refers to a group of people who share a common lifestyle and organization.
While earth's inhabitant refers to all inhabitants not just a small or big group.
And human society is never a lexicon definition of earth.

Some are symbolic ...

You claim some [verses in the book of Revelation] are symbolic , please provide proof of this claim you have made.
