Adams Clarke’s Commentary
Verse 34. Ye blessed of my Father] This is the king’s address to his followers; and contains the reason why they were found in the practice of all righteousness, and were now brought to this state of glory-they were blessed-came as children, and received the benediction of the Father, and became, and continued to be, members of the heavenly family.
Inherit] The inheritance is only for the children of the family-if sons, then heirs, Ga 4:7, but not otherwise. The sons only shall enjoy the father’s estate.
Prepared for you] That is, the kingdom of glory is designed for such as you-you who have received the blessing of the Father, and were holy, harmless, undefiled, and separated from sinners.
From the foundation of the world] It was God’s purpose and determination to admit none into his heaven but those who were made partakers of his holiness, Heb 12:14. The rabbins say, Seven things were created before the foundation of the world. 1. The law. 2. Repentance. 3. Paradise. 4. Hell. 5. The throne of God. 6. The temple; and 7. The name of the Messiah.
