As the world heads toward an almighty catastrophe, the earth is and will eventually be, as it has always been. Should everything we once knew disappear, all that shall be left is the earth, and perhaps a handful of us will remain. I can imagine, at that time, we shall be meek, and able at last, to see the Earth for what she truly is, as we inherit Her.
Do we feel worthy to accept this?

The meek does not represent those with a particular personality type of reticence, nor is this speaking of a weakness. In fact, the paradoxical power of this passage is that meekness is equated with strength — the strength of the Lord's work in the one who comes to God in total trust and complete surrender.
