Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Marius:
I believe that God's will is opposite to the thinking of mankind
Remember who is "the greatest in the kingdom of heaven"
answer: "least among men"
Who did Paul say should we chose to sit over an dispute,
There is many examples in the bible where the "meek"
does have the advantage in the end of days.
I think that your attetude should be to not in any way
think yourself to be higher or better than others.
This is totally in contrast with the self confidence believe
system everybody has is in himself. ;)

Amen to that, Marius.
(Mat 20:26 LITV) But it will not be so among you. But whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
(Mat 20:27 LITV) And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your servant;
(Mat 20:28 LITV) Even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.
God bless,
Gary

Hi Marius and Gary
What you wrote sums it up for me..... :)
Also, Blessed are the meek (the mild, patient, long-suffering) Amplified version...
....and I note this verse says "for they shall inherit the EARTH not the WORLD. Satan is the God of THIS WORLD so who wants this world anyway!... GOD owns the EARTH....GOD IS LOVE and we desire to be with HIM..on the earth not in or of the world...! We are called....to come out of....the world...and get our feet on the rock foundation....
Arcturus :)

(Quoted from Ray's Lazarus and the Rich Man)
"...Abraham was not promised Heaven, but THIS EARTH along with King David....Jer 30:9"

Wierd thread...at the beginning the notion of "earth" and "dirt" and "world" seemed to be the overwhelming concern. Probably it means the realm to come under Christ. But I think "meek" should be emphasized. Meek proably means those who put their lives (through God's Will) in Christ's hands, those who let Him lead them, those who are "called out' or whatever UNDER HIS POWER and not just going through the motions. And the meek are SERVANTS as well in the sense that they in their hearts (as with God's Will) want to serve others UNDER HIS POWER. AND we have to be peacemakers AND poor in spirit (to the point where we do surrender all and let Him lead us) AND hunger and thirst for righteousness AND be merciful AND pure of heart AND mourn AND be persecuted for righteousness sake and be reviles for His name sake. But we can be none of these unless we depend on Him to grow these in us.
