Exposition | by | Volume 29, Issue 3 | May – June 2023

In the closing scenes of our last article, we spoke about our Lord being taken into heaven and presiding over the angels. There they witness Jesus being seated by his Father at His right hand and upon His throne. This is highlighted in Psalm 110:1: “Yahweh said unto my (David’s) Lord, sit thou at my right hand”. Within the writings of the New Testament, this is the most quoted and alluded to passage of the Old Testament. The reason for this is that it forms the foundation of our salvation.

Exposition | by | Volume 29, Issue 3 | May – June 2023

The titles “Lord” and “Christ” are regularly applied to Jesus in the gospels. Elisabeth marvelled, when Mary came to visit her, “that the mother of my Lord should come to me” (Luke 1:43). The angel said to the shepherds: “Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). A leper came to Jesus “and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt thou canst make me clean” (Matt 8:2). And Jesus said of himself: “The Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day” (Matt 12:8).

In the last article we explored the impact of Caleb, a spiritual leader within the tribe of Judah. In this article we want to consider the story surrounding Caleb’s personal inheritance that God would give him.

Inheriting the Kingdom

How can it be said that nations “inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world”?

The word, “inherit” “strictly means to receive by lot; then in a more general sense, to possess oneself of, to receive as one’s own, to obtain” (Vine). What will the nations obtain? The right to reside in their own countries as subjects to the King of kings and to the saints.
