Do We Inherit Heaven or Earth?

"The concept of going to heaven as if it were our reward is clearly Greek/Roman/Western in origin and totally foreign to Hebraic thought and the Bible. The righteous will inherit the earth, albeit a new heaven and a new earth, nevertheless, the earth, not heaven."

When we, as Westerner’s, speak of salvation, we generally think of John 3:16. Furthermore, to the Western mind, salvation has the connotation of being saved from our sins so that we can go to heaven one day.
 Our concept of salvation is more intangible, ethereal and other worldly. The Hebraic view (and the scriptural view) of salvation is totally at odds with our current Western mindset. I will quote to you from Marvin Wilson's book, Our Father Abraham:
The Hebrew verb
yasha means "to save" or "to deliver," and the noun yeshua‘ah, "salvation," derives from it. In the Hebrew Bible, this verb is not used in the sense of "escape to heaven." Rather, a careful study of its many occurrences reveals that the main idea is "to liberate," "to deliver from evil," or "to free from oppression."

In most instances, salvation was wrought when Father YHVH defeated Israel's enemies, either directly or through human agents.

Psalms 37:29 says "the righteous shall inherit the earth". Yeshua even said in Matthew 5:5 "the meek inherit the earth". No where in the scriptures does it ever say that we go to heaven.  In Revelation the word says a new Jerusalem comes down.  We receive a new heaven and earth,  but we live on earth.  Just like the Garden of Eden.  Elohim came to the Garden. 
Shalom!!!

To Walk As Yeshua Did Is To Keep Torah

keep this always in your mind
 
Yeshua was the Living Torah (John 1:14 the Word became flesh)  The Torah is YHWH's Instructions for Living.  Sin is the transgression of the Torah (law) 1 John 3:4.  What law?  The New Testament was not written down as it was happening.  It was written many many years later so the only Law that they could have been talking about was Torah. 
 
Shalom!!!
 
 We are either a servant of YHWH or of sin (John 8:34; Luke 16:13). One is an easy Master who gives true freedom (James 2:12; Matthew 11:30), the other is a hard master that restricts freedom. Because of what the Messiah did, we can make our choice between the two!

 
We become free from bondage by becoming a bondservant to YHWH! I guess that would make the opposite true as well... turning against YHWH and being free from Him results in you being in bondage~ Ken Rank.
