Indeed, Jesus does describe those who are humble, not filled with pride, not great in stature and not ambitiously seeking more (the meek) as those who "inherit" the earth.

Additionally, Jesus describes that all who follow Him, even those from different languages, tribes and peoples, Jew and non-Jew alike, will "inherit" the earth and have responsibility over it.

For example, Revelation 5:9-10 speaks of the people who believe in Jesus who were saved by His sacrifice. It talks as though Jesus has "won" or "bought" these people for God and mentions they will "serve" as "kings and priests" and also have authority over nations.

Additionally, in Matt 19:28, Jesus talks to the disciples and says ""Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

It is a fascinating contrast to the cliche and incorrect notions of heaven or the future afterlife as being some kind of horribly boring place where people "sit on clouds" or play harps or any such nonsense. Indeed, just as mankind is clearly intelligent, capable of wisdom and education, Jesus seems to think this will be put to use one day and that those who follow Him will inherit the earth in a literal sense, to fix it, govern it and direct it correctly.
