Heir of the world (κληρονόμον κόσμου)

See on divided by lot, Act 13:19; and see on inheritance, 1Pe 1:4. “Paul here takes the Jewish conception of the universal dominion of the Messianic theocracy prefigured by the inheritance of Canaan, divests it of its Judaistic element, and raises it to a christological truth.” Compare Mat 19:28, Mat 19:29; Luk 22:30. The idea underlies the phrases kingdom of God, kingdom of Heaven.
