This phrase from Matthew 5:5 is in direct opposition to 'survival of the fittest. Our society works on the assumption that the assertive, the powerful rule the world. The word 'inherit' suggest that when something else passes away, it is to be given to another. Christ raises up the humble. Paul reflects this theology in 1 Corinthians 1:27.
Similar promises in The Bible are at Psalms 37:10,11,and 29.

Who did jesus say will inherit the earth?
According to Psalms 37: 29 in the Old Testament you can read the following. " The righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it.". John 17: 3 reads. " This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ" Those words were spoken by Jesus as confirmed in John 17: 1 John 3: 16 reads. " For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. The first Book of the Bible, Genesis 2: 15-17 shows that God settled our progenitor Adam in a place on earth called the garden of E'den, with the possibility to live forever in it. Verse 17 shows that Adam knew that if he did not eat from the tree of good and bad he would not have died. By not eating from the tree, the first couple would have shown their obedience to the One who gave them life. It would have shown that they recognized God's right to direct their ways. That command in verse 17 which is " In the day you eat from the tree God told Adam, " you will certainly die. That command would have made no sense if Adam was meant to grow old and die anyway. God's purpose for mankind has not changed. He created us to live a healthy life forever on earth. That is why he sent His only-begotten Son on earth to save all those who will accept to live up to His standards, confirmed in John 3: 16. Romans 5: 12-14 shows how Adam's sin has spread like a disease on mankind. So to answer your question, Jesus made it quite clear that the ones who will inherit the earth are those who accept God's requirements and live up to God's manuel that is given through His Word the Bible. Read 2 Timothy 3: 16,17. Matthew 6: 9 shows that Jesus told us to pray for God's Kingdom to come, where His will, will take place as in heaven also on earth. Read Daniel 2: 44 John 14: 6 reminds us that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and that no one comes to the Father except through him. Kind regards
