Psalms 136:21
And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:21. And gave their land for an heritage. As the Lord of the whole earth he transferred his estate from one tenant to another. The land did not become the property of the Israelites by their own sword and bow, but by a grant from the throne. This was the great end which all along had been aimed at from Egypt to Jordan. He who brought his people out also brought them in. He who had promised the land to the descendants of Abraham also saw to it that the deed of gift did not remain a dead letter. Both our temporal and our spiritual estates come to us by royal charter. What God gives us is ours by the best of titles. Inheritance by God’s gift is a tenure which even Satan cannot dispute.
For his mercy endureth for ever. Faithful love endures without end, and secures its own end.
