10630. 'And make us Your inheritance' means in order that nevertheless the Church may exist there. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah's inheritance' as receiving the life of heaven through good from the Lord, dealt with in 9338, thus also becoming a Church. For becoming a Church consists in receiving the life of heaven through the good of love and faith from the Lord.
