Deuteronomy 19:14 You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which the men of old have set,
in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.
********************************************************************************
People often think of the Lord's Covenant with Israel as a Promised Land they would continue to possess
as long as they were faithful to His Law.
However, the content of that Law is heavily directed towards maintaining the sanctity of every family's
inheritance in the land.
From the year of release, to the inheritance of the daughters of Zelophehad, the Law maintained the
continuity of that inheritance.
It was David, who was promised His Throne to be forever that the inheritance was also spoken of in
perpetuity. To fail to see this truth in the Law is to fail to apply God's Word to the inheritance of the saints.
***********************************************************
Psalm 37:18 The Lord knows the days of the upright,
And their inheritance shall be forever
***********************************************************
The apostle Paul summarizes the Law as defining love for our neighbor.
Romans 13:
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,”
“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment,
are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
How often I see people quote that the Law is summed up with “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
And yet, the tenth verse specifies "doing no harm", and the Law addresses the many ways that harm is done.
This begins with having a mutual respect for one another's inheritance.
************************************************************
Deuteronomy 27:17 ‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
************************************************************
How are the saints to show that respect for boundaries, if the borders are not set,
and the landmarks are not identified?
Every inheritance is unique, and sealed by the Spirit.
Ephesians 1:
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation;
in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
to the praise of His glory.

Proverbs 22:28 Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.
