The practical meaning of the line “the meek shall inherit the earth” is that wisdom that’s humble before nature points the way to the only survivable option for the world, while arrogant dominance and brute force would just destroy us all.

I hope they do a good psychic cleanse of the WH and offices.

You do understand that Jesus Christ said this in reference to His followers.

I guess it simply comes down to attitude! ... Are we open to receiving impressions from others and from God ... or ... are we closed ... Closed to everything ... except our own preconceived point of view!

I think the book of Enoch mentions something about that.

Or maybe it means the bold inherit love and the kingdom of heaven and eternal life, but the meek are tied to worldly things like endless consumerism, pain, and strife.

I thought it meant the downtrodden, already on the ground, will continue to enjoy their terrestrial dwelling! :)

The meaning of the line “the meek shall inherit the earth” is that it requires a humble and contrite heart to submit to God, repent, and be saved. The proud think they have no need for God. They think their own knowledge, skill, and success will save them. It won't. Jesus saves.
