Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5
A person who is “meek” is often thought of as being resigned to their circumstances, even weak, but that really isn’t what is being described here. Those who are “meek” are those who understand that they are dependent upon God, and not upon their own strength or even upon the power of armies, for our own strength is a temporary affair, as is the might of an army; all will perish. Yet God’s strength is eternal, and His might never flags or fails. With this in mind, consider who is not meek; the proud, the loud, and the haughty. These are the ones who must always dominate others, who must always have the last word, and who will trample others to get ahead, for they fear losing control: They are not blessed for their own behavior is their curse.
The meek will inherit the earth, just like the descendants of Abraham would inherit the Land. Once again, Matthew has linked an idea relating to Jesus with Israelite history, and this time, he has done so in a way that leads us to an apocalyptic conclusion, for those who place their full faith and trust in God for their provision will not only enjoy relationship with Him now, but will reign with Him upon His return, thus receiving a double blessing of His grace.

I’ve often wondered here what is meant by “the earth”. Satan was the ruler of the earth, and in many ways still is. Does Jesus literally mean that they will inherit the land, or is there a deeper meaning to this? Especially since the earth will end and we will all be residents of the New Jerusalem, a land that cannot be destroyed. Is this a way of saying that the meek “will” inherit the new life?
That’s a question that can lead to some interesting discussion; to stick directly to the question you asked, I’d have to say an emphatic “yes”.
