What are you most excited about for the future?
The meek inherit the earth again, eat, drink and enjoy
A lot of future scenarios are purely pie in the sky, and the show we have endured of empires and mega commerce will come to an abrupt end. No light, no business, literally. When the power systems of our times – the solar, the fossil fuel, the nuclear, become ineffective, the meek will truly inherit the earth. No one will be waiting for courts to rule on access to nourishment and recreation. Big business will flicker and dangle on the cliffs of silence. Angels, who neither marry nor procreate are said to personify human destiny, so it is not a stretch to have expectations about humans being like birds and the lillies of the field, astonishingly adorned with individual splendour. Governments, both large and small, will have no levers to pull, no bottom line, no profit margin, and no corrupt law enforcement. Do not ask me when. Maybe after the next great earthquake? Maybe after the waves cover the machinery of the generals and the mighty? Maybe after the sun scorched the delicate instruments of oppression? Maybe the meek will, without shame, inherit the earth “… in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they will have abundance.” (Psalms 37:19, NASB)
But the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.
Psalms 37:11
