The concept of inhabitants is significant in Scripture, as it often relates to God's promises, judgments, and the moral and spiritual state of a people. Old Testament Context In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word most commonly translated as "inhabitant" is יָשַׁב (yashab), which means to sit, dwell, or remain. This term is frequently used to describe the people living in the Promised Land, as well as those in surrounding nations. For example, in <a href="/genesis/13-12.htm">Genesis 13:12</a>, we read, "Abram lived in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom." Here, the inhabitants of Canaan and Sodom are distinguished by their dwelling places and lifestyles. The inhabitants of the land often play a crucial role in the unfolding narrative of Israel's history. In <a href="/deuteronomy/7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:1-2</a>, God commands the Israelites to drive out the inhabitants of the land He is giving them: "When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, and He drives out before you many nations... you must destroy them totally." This command underscores the importance of the Israelites maintaining spiritual purity and avoiding the idolatrous practices of the land's previous inhabitants. Prophetic Warnings and Judgments The prophets frequently addressed the inhabitants of various regions, warning them of impending judgment due to their sins. For instance, in <a href="/isaiah/24.htm">Isaiah 24:1</a>, the prophet declares, "Behold, the LORD lays waste to the earth and leaves it in ruins; He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants." This passage highlights the consequences of disobedience and the universal scope of God's judgment. Similarly, <a href="/jeremiah/25-29.htm">Jeremiah 25:29</a> warns, "For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts." Here, the inhabitants of the earth are collectively held accountable for their actions, emphasizing the global reach of divine justice. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the Greek word κατοικέω (katoikeo) is often used to describe inhabitants. This term appears in contexts that highlight both physical and spiritual dwelling. For example, in <a href="/acts/17-26.htm">Acts 17:26</a>, Paul speaks of God's sovereignty over the nations: "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands." The New Testament also emphasizes the spiritual aspect of being an inhabitant. In <a href="/ephesians/2-19.htm">Ephesians 2:19</a>, Paul writes, "Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household." Here, believers are described as inhabitants of God's spiritual kingdom, highlighting their new identity in Christ. Eschatological Significance The concept of inhabitants takes on an eschatological dimension in the book of Revelation. In <a href="/revelation/3-10.htm">Revelation 3:10</a>, Jesus promises the church in Philadelphia, "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." The phrase "those who dwell on the earth" often refers to unbelievers who are subject to God's final judgment. In <a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3</a>, the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to dwell with His people is revealed: "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.'" This passage encapsulates the hope of eternal communion with God for the inhabitants of the new heaven and new earth. Throughout Scripture, the term "inhabitant" serves as a reminder of the temporal and spiritual realities of dwelling, both in the physical world and in the presence of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (n.) One who dwells or resides permanently in a place, as distinguished from a transient lodger or visitor; as, an inhabitant of a house, a town, a city, county, or state.2. (n.)

The verb "to inhabit," now used only transitively, had once an intransitive meaning as well. Compare Cowper, Olney Hymns, XIV, "Who built it, who inhabits there?" So in <a href="/1_chronicles/5-9.htm">1 Chronicles 5:9</a> the King James Version, "And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness" (but the Revised Version (British and American) "dwelt"). We have the obsolete inhabiters for "inhabitants" in <a href="/revelation/8-13.htm">Revelation 8:13</a> the King James Version (but the Revised Version (British and American) "them that dwell") and <a href="/revelation/12-12.htm">Revelation 12:12</a> the King James Version (but omitted in the Revised Version (British and American)).
