10447. 'And they will inherit it into the age' means eternal life. This is clear from the meaning of 'inheriting', when it has reference to heaven, as possessing the Lord's life and so the life of heaven, dealt with in 2658, 2851, 3672, 7212, 9338; and from the meaning of 'the age' as that which is eternal, dealt with in 10248.
