Deuteronomy 11:24
Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Wherever you go, there you are; and wherever you are, it is yours if you are a Christian. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. The meek shall inherit His earth and the land promises of Abraham and Israel have been expanded to include the entire earth. The contention is no longer merely over a particular parcel of middle eastern property, but for the dirt of the entire earth. All land is holy land for there is no land that is not the Lord’s.
Psalms 24:1
The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof;
the world, and they that dwell therein.
There is nothing that does not belong to God. There is no corner into which His claim does not push. There is no person over which His image is not impressed. When we give unto God that which is His, we must give every inch of ourselves.
"There is not a square inch in the whole of creation over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'" — Abraham Kuyper
There is no nation immune to the reign of Christ. There is no plot of land outside the grip of His hand. There is nothing about which He does not emphatically declare, "Mine!"
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
All power every where has been given to Jesus. There is no part of any place nor piece of any person that does not belong to Him.
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Everywhere the Christian goes is Christ's and everything that is Christ's is ours in Him.
1 Corinthians 3:21-23
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
You cannot find a place to set your feet that won't be someday under His.
1 Corinthians 15:24-27
Then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when He shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For He hath put all things under His feet.
All things are ours.
Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Paul here applies God's promises to the children of Israel to the gentile children of Ephesus and he extends its scope from Canaan to the whole earth. All people and every where will one day be Christian.
