Biblical Counsel on Acquiring Real Estate. Part [3] 02/16/2026 Morning thought

Genesis 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herd-men and thy herd-men; for we be brethren.

The tensions that flare up, ever so often, between North, and South Korea are about real estate. The current efforts underway to colonize the moon and other planets, is about real estate. Again, when you see Hedge funds buying up large swaths of land and homes, so that would-be homebuyers get the short end of the stick, by being priced out and being forced to rent, the bottom line is about real estate. Again, the very first verse in the Bible where it says that God created the earth, is about real estate.

The back and forth between Abraham’s herdsmen, and Lot’s shepherds was about real estate, and if that issue had not then been diffused by the kindness of Abraham, the story would have had a very different ending. Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt, because of her real estate. Back in the days when the Philistines and the Amalekites invaded Israel, they would capture those territories that belonged to them and in some cases, they would make them tributary to those kings who had subjugated them.

It was most often about real estate. The promised land was about real estate. When the 12 spies were sent to spy out the land of Canaan, they brought back samples of the natural resources and products of the land to confirm their need to go and conquer it because God had promised them the real estate of Canaan. Again, when satan tempted Christ in the wilderness he offered Him real estate in exchange for worship.

Luke 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Exodus 20: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and He rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

That being said, it seems as if all the evils committed in ages past would be coming to a head in these last days of earth’s history, for sin is scheduled to reach its zenith on all fronts as the sinful nature of persons becomes more and more depraved. The root of all evil is covetousness, and because it has become endemic in societies, the Bible predicts that it would be manifested in different ways which will culminate in the mark of the beast.

Man, driven by satan would covet the worship, the praise, the time, and the real estate which belongs to God alone. But covetousness, as it relates to acquiring of real estate has existed from time immemorial, for after sin entered our world, peoples and nations in many instances have sought to obtain real estate by fraud, by dissembling or by the use of brute force, and if in our day you see the same tendency occurring again, it is because there is nothing new under the sun.

Let no one be fooled concerning this fact, that most of the wars that are fought, and those which have been fought in times past, have mostly been about real estate. The war between Russia, and Ukraine is about real estate, the tensions and many squabbles between China and Taiwan are about real estate. The wars in Somalia and Rwanda are also about real estate, the wars between the Palestinians and Jews are all about real estate.

Leviticus 25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for you are strangers and sojourners with me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land.

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