Information about our heavenly inheritance cannot be found in the Old Testament or in the Gospels. It is revealed only by revelation through the apostle Paul. Our inheritance is the part of our salvation that happens in the future, either when we die or are raptured up.
Eph.1:13-14 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest [guarantee] of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Col.3:23-24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Now this is important, don't confuse your inheritance as a child of God today in heaven with Israel's inheritance on earth when they enter into the Millennial Kingdom. They are not the same. We will reign in heaven and they will reign on earth. Our destiny and our home is in heaven and theirs is on earth. Why do you think God changes our bodies into glorified bodies that will have the nature and the ability to operate in the heavens?
Eph.2 5 even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ by grace are you saved now get this and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Phil.3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Saviour...
2 Tim.4:18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom.
