I like Professor Gary M. Burges's book JESUS AND THE LAND

Nice video. GK Beale is such a wise man! Crazy thing about those who hold the position of Ethnic Israel inheriting the land as a fulfillment of the those promises is that the nation Israel wasn't just Ethnic Israelites, it included sojourners who were part of the covenant community as well, to whom those promises were to as well. The nation was always multi ethnic not just Jewish.

"The meek will inherit the earth..." What should the Jehovah's Witnesses understand about this verse in light of the Protestant understanding? I've been told (by Witnesses) that it is basically the 2nd option/home for those saints that do not make the "144,000" list.

This text speaks about the future inheritance in the new heavens and the new earth for all of God's redeemed people.

​@@ClarityandBrevity2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth [righteousness.] Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting [righteousness,] and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 490 years Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. The mosaic covenant law is gone , so the old covenant law is passed! but there was no new planet Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. lf the new heavens and earth is not cosmological then the old wasn't either! Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. They were both conventual ! old and new Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Why is Dr BEALE wearing gloves inside his house?

Beautiful. So much bad theology & praxis could be avoided if Christians would simply understand that what God spoke in the old Testament was later given a spiritual (not natural) fulfilment in Christ. For example, Isaiah 7 says the Messiah's name shall be called "Immanuel". Was it? No, not in a strictly literal way because His name was Jesus. But yes He was Immanuel ("God with us") in the sense that He was the embodiment of God on earth. Matthew 1 clearly states this to be the case. This is a sound interpretive principle that most often gets demolished in our superficial reading of the Old Testament. As Paul says in 1 Cor 15... "First comes the natural, then the spiritual."
