Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they SHALL BE SATISFIED

[tonychanyt]

When will this happen?

The Beatitudes begin with Matthew 5:

3“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Around the middle, we have:

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.

will be filled.
χορτασθήσονται (chortasthēsontai)
Verb - Future Indicative Passive - 3rd Person Plural

The Beatitudes continue to

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

The kingdom of heaven begins when one believes. It begins presently.

The Beatitudes end with

11“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad,

Rejoice and be glad now, and it does not stop here:

because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

When shall those who hunger and thirst for righteousness be satisfied?

They will be satisfied as soon as they believe, and the satisfaction will continue for eternity. This is a spiritual satisfaction, not necessarily a physical one.

 

[Mark Quayle]

Funny how differently the human mind conceives of this compared to how God sees it!

Temporal satisfaction is only temporal.
