The Doctrine Of Ownership. Part [6] 02/11/2025 (Morning thought)

Numbers 34:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, when you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

Numbers 34:3 Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward. 13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, this is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe. 14 For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance.

Not only does God own all the real estate, all of the silver, gold, and precious metals, He also owns each and everyone living on the planet, from His peculiar people, to Atheists and Buddhists, from law abiding citizens to those sitting in jail cells, as well as those who were recently pardoned. God also owns the leaders of each country, together with all folks who work in the various government agencies, and this includes all the military personnel who serve at the discretion of leaders at home, and abroad. They are all owned by God personally.

Acts 27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

Ezekiel 18: 4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

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

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!
