The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth

Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5)

Anyone who reads their Bible will see that Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven. He also told Nicodemus that only He would ascend into heaven (John 3:13). If you ask most church goers about where they are spending eternity, they will tell you heaven. After looking at the scriptures, however, it is well publisizedd that Heaven is God's throne and not a place for man's habitation.

Why the difference between what is in the scriptures and what is believed? Because people do not search the scriptures and they take peoples words for things. None of the Apostles ever wrote that we can ascend into heaven either. We wait for the Lord to return from heaven.

Paul stated that the Jerusalem from above is our mother (Galatians 4:26). Peter wrote that we are waiting for a New Heaven and a New Earth where righteousness will dwell (II Peter 3:13). John wrote in the Revelation of seeing the vision of the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven for God to dwell with man (Revelation 21:1-4).

Who though wanted to ascend into heaven? Read Isaiah 14:12-15) Why then do the religious leaders of today, teach contrary to Jesus?

Remember the warning about the leaven of the Pharisees. False teaching has entered the Christian church and brough about an apostacy. Be on your gaurd and remember the story of the ten virgins. Jesus wants all of His people to be prepared. That is why it is important to study the scriptures yourself! You and I cannot go to heaven. We are to wait for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
