The Blessed Shall Inherit the Earth (Psalm 37:22) by Rev. Angus Stewart
I. What Will Be Received
II. How It Will Be Received
III. Who Will Receive It
Herman Hoeksema: “Israel in the land of Canaan was very really the heritage of God, his peculiar possession, Jehovah’s portion, but it was at the same time the shadow of things to come, the picture of a better hope, the type of the ultimate and eternal realization of the ‘purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.’ For he has purposed in himself to gather together in one all things in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on earth, and to make the church in Christ heir of that glorious inheritance. Of this, Israel in Canaan is the beginning, but also the figure and type. Even as Israel in the old dispensation in the earthly land of Canaan was the peculiar possession of God, so Christ and his glorious and perfected church in the new heavens and earth is the ultimate realization of Jehovah’s heritage” (All Glory to the Only Good God, pp. 126-127).
