The answer is: The earth

Matt 5:5

In Matthew 5:5, Jesus expresses a profound yet often underestimated idea: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." This promise flips common views on their heads. In a world where power, assertiveness, and dominance typically lead to success, Jesus highlights the gentleness and humility of the meek as a pathway to divine favor.

The idea of meekness doesn’t suggest passivity or weakness. Instead, it portrays a strength rooted in humility and a deeper trust in divine care. Historical context shows that those physical might abandoned the land of promise occasionally to the outsiders, while the meek—modeling a deep reliance on justice and mercy—reside in the principles of the Kingdom.

Moreover, the term "inherit the earth" harks back to Old Testament themes. Psalm 37:11 proclaims a kindred message: "But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity." This reflects a continuity in biblical thought and emphasizes consistency in the divine message – that power doesn't equate to ownership of good things; gentleness and righteousness ultimately lead to a more profound connection to creation itself.

A fun fact? The word metaphysically ties "meek" to being teachable or humble, underscoring that the Kingdom of Heaven is realized through models of behavior that scripture repeatedly celebrates. So, inheriting the earth feels much less about land ownership and far more about fostering a life grounded in love, understanding, and associated respect for all beings.
