But also in the New Testament this is extended to the Messiah, Gal. 3:16, as his descendant, and to all his followers as the spiritual seed of the father of the faithful. When Paul calls him, the heir of the world, he sums up in this expression, all the promises made to Abraham, indicating that his spiritual descendants, i.e. those who possess his faith, shall be so numerous that they will possess all lands, namely the entire world, or all that exists. This concept is extended to the entire universe and heaven combined when the new universe is created to replace this one. And, whereas there will be only believers in the new universe then by default they inherit it.

The final inheritance or reward, is synonymous with salvation, or that which will be given to Abraham and to all believers in eternity, Heb. 11:10-16, Rev. 21-22.
