The Doctrine Of Ownership. Part [5] 02/11/2025 (Evening thought)

Leviticus 25: 23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for you are strangers, and sojourners with me.

It is worthy of note that we are reading these facts on real estate in Leviticus, and not only in the New Testament, after Calvary. The belief that Jesus took ownership of everything only after He had laid His life down for us, is a false narrative. In fact, God owns everything, and everyone before Calvary, and after Calvary, because, we are reading presently from the Old Testament. This is certified by His sovereign prerogative to distribute land as He sees fit. And it raises the bar even higher, for He can take land from certain people, and give it to others.

Deuteronomy 2:4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore. 5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.

When the people of God were to be persecuted for their faith in Revelation 12, God provided a place of refuge in a sparsely populated area, and He gave to them stewardship of that land, even though at that time it was inhabited by indigenous peoples. Furthermore, Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything, because there were already living there, peoples from different ethnic backgrounds in those lands that were to become known as being the new world. So yes, God not only owns all real estate, but He can also distribute it to persons, and nations as He sees fit.

Leviticus 20: 23 And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things and therefore I abhorred them. 24 But I have said unto you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God, which have separated you from other people.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
