i will explain the mystery of the beatitudes for your benefit and anyone following along blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. but once they inherit the earth as owners of the earth how can they remain "meek"? are they no longer blessed because having inherited the earth they lost their meekness? what about the broken hearted who god comforts are they no longer brokenhearted because once comforted they are glad and no longer broken hearted?  what he was saying is the land of gods people would be utterly destroyed and not repopulated for thousands of years because it had become racially polluted and evil, the devils canaanites had usurped the seat of moses all positions of authority. if you were not meek but wealthy during that time odds are you were evil, and regardless you were reluctant to leave your riches in israel behind for the new sheepfold in rome, the poor, the meek, the broken hearted who did not fit into an evil canaanite society likely didnt fit in and were so poor as a result of their good natures which prevented them from doing as the pharisees and the rich men of the time did, but because they had nothing to lose were also more apt to follow jesus from the old sheepfold to the new and thus spare themselves the destruction of the rich proud men who stayed behind in the old sheepfold with their riches.
