My personal discernment on that one is that what was actually prophecised is that the:
Pure in heart shall inherit the earth.
And this was misquoted, most likely intentionally, to keep the people meek.
We are co-creators. This is our world. In order to truly inherit the earth we will need to realize the Power, Wisdom and Love (which perfectly balanced is Purity), is within us. We need to take our power back rather than continually giving it up.
It is the pure in heart that will inherit the earth, those who recognize the power is in them, have the love to use it only for the benefit of all life, and the wisdom to understand how life will actually be benefited.
My understanding
