The Inheritance - Ezekiel 46:16-18

Ezekiel 46:16-18 ESV 
“Thus says the Lord God:If the prince makes a gift to any of his sons as his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons. It is their property by inheritance. But if he makes a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty. Then it shall revert to the prince; surely it is his inheritance —it shall belong to his sons. The prince shall not take any of the inheritance of the people, thrusting them out of their property. He shall give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that none of my people shall be scattered from his property.”

The sons of God will receive an inheritance that will not be taken from the tribes of Israel. This property is the kingdom of heaven and it is in that kingdom we have begun to walk. The land promised to Israel is real and foreshadows the kingdom promised to the sons of God. 

Those that were first shall be last, and those last will be first. 

The inheritance is sure and that kingdom foreseen from the beginning.

Matthew 25:34
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘ Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
