Leviticus 25: 23 “The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me. And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land."

I find these verses particularly enlightening in our current condition. Viewing the land as God's property is one thing, but He takes it a step further. We are strangers on this earth with Him. He owns it, but it is not His home. Likewise, since we've been adopted into His family, the land we currently live in is not our home either.
