If ' the meek shall inherit the earth ' what does that leave for the 99.5% of the rest of us ?

Answer 1

I don't know Dave I guess we are just SOOL!!!

Answer 2

You get to inherit the 205 known exoplanets in other solar systems as reward for leaving earth before our sun novas in 5 billion years. As usual, the meek get screwed.

Answer 3

--YOUR % COULD BE WAY OFF!

--Rev. 7:9,10 speaks of a "great crowd" COMING OUT of God's storm of the Great Tribulation culminating to Armaggedon--THAT COULD indeed mean 10s of millions that survive on, so to speak "the ark of salvation"--as Noah and his family stepped off of the Ark to a cleansed earth!

--BUT YOU ARE RIGHT --something will indeed happen to any one of us that DO NOT show themselves meek.(not weak)

(Psalm 37:9-12) “ 9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. ? [Waw] 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. ? [Za´yin]. . .”

--NON EXISTENCE, no-- not hellfire--JUST totally poofed!

(Proverbs 2:21-22) “21 For the upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. 22 As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.”
--TREACHERY seems to be a popular way to go over meekness, but unacceptable to God as far as his laws of surviving!

Note not just the wicked but their entire household, that go along with the evil.

(Proverbs 14:11) “11 The house of wicked people will be annihilated, but the tent of the upright ones will flourish. . .”

--AGAIN NOTE-- who pays for the meek to be ransomed on to a cleansed earth:

(Proverbs 21:18) “18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous one; and the one dealing treacherously takes the place of the upright ones.”

(Proverbs 16:4) “4 Everything Jehovah has made for his purpose, yes, even the wicked one for the evil day.”

TO PLACE THE LAST NAIL IN THE COFFIN to the scenario you presented, this is the finale to this sick world which you seem to like:

(Psalm 92:7) “ 7 When the wicked ones sprout as the vegetation And all the practicers of what is hurtful blossom forth, It is that they may be annihilated forever.”

Joke all you want--but these texts have action from Jehovah behind them to anyone that does not like the idea of being MEEK ONES!

Answer 4

There are only two choices: Life or death. (John 3:16)

A small number will enjoy eternal life in heaven; an inumerable great crowd will enjoy life forever in paradise on earth.

The remainder will be destroyed.

Death is the opposite of life. The dead are unconcious. (Ecclesiastes 9:5; Psalm 146:4)

Anyone can have the opportunity to enjoy eternal life. (John 17:3; Hebrews 5:9)
