Where Will Christians Rule? - Raymond F McNair - March 1975

Does God's Word promise heaven as the reward of the saved? Did Jesus say believers would waft off to heaven? What does God promise as the reward of the righteous - those who believe and obey Him? Does He promise heaven, limbo, purgatory - or will the "saved" inherit a paradise on this good earth? Although millions of sincere people believe otherwise, the Bible says nothing about the saints going to heaven! God's Word declares: "The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men" (Ps. 115: 15). And David was inspired to reveal that "those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth" (Ps. 37:9, 22). Furthermore, he said: "But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace" (verse 11). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
