Hebrews 1:2, 11:3 The worlds made and framed by Jesus Christ.

·      To frame: orderly fit one thing to another, The worlds The Son made were orderly fit together (framed)

·      The worlds past, present, future are all part of God's blueprint for His creation. Their start and end were precisely ordered by God through His Son.

The worlds that were that ended

1.    The world Between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3 [Genesis 2:5-6 before man was created] [2Peter 3:5-6] (no dust)

2.    The world between Genesis 1:3 and the flood of the time of Noah. [2Peter 2:5] (Dust)

The Worlds that are

The world we live in (present, evil) [Galatians 1:4, Titus 2:12]

·      Began after the flood destroyed the face of the earth.

·      [Matthew 12:40, Ephesians 4:9] – These verses speak of where paradise [Abraham’s bosom] was and torments [hell] remains today (Luke 16:19-24)]

The World Above

·      Where The Son Of God came to earth from. [John 8:23; Eph 4:10]

·      Unseen world that the angels, Satan, devils [Genesis 28:12; John 1:51] [Job 1:7, 2:2; 2Kings 6:17]

·      This world began with Genesis 1:1 when God created the heaven. This world has become tainted with sin of Satan but it still exists.

This present evil world

“in the earth” is seen in 64 verses. 

·      In Genesis 1:1 earth is with a small e, in 1:10 Earth is with a capital E. This lets us know we must note the context of how earth is used.

Joshua 7:21, Matthew 25:18 & Mark 4:31

·      Were seed is planted and things are buried

·      “In the earth” can mean in the ground

Genesis 1:22, 6:4-5; Job 37:12 This is the most common use of the phrase.

While “in the earth” in these verses seems to be what we also call the present world there is a distinct difference.

·      The world in the earth [Job 37:12]. The face of the world and the face of the earth are joined in the dust. But this verse goes beyond that connection.

·      “In the earth” is a physical location where as the world seems to be spiritual in nature. Evil acts are physical actions but spiritual in nature. Ephesians 2:2 the course of this world is evil, sinful.

·      Could it be {as I believe the Bible teaches} the earth created in Genesis 1:1 is not just the planet but the planet and the air around it.  {The Ozone layer could be the limit of the earth.}

·      It appears to me the world we live in and “in the earth” are framed together. (Hebrews 11:3) This present evil world is held in place within the air we breath.

·      the air we breath is part of “in the earth” [Genesis 1:22 where the birds fly]

·      Job 39:13-14 Job ties “in the earth” with the dust. 

What made this world evil. [Ephesians 2:2]

·      Romans 5:13 (Before the law sin was "in the world":

·      Genesis 3:17-19, Romans 5:12a - the sin of Adam 

·      Why Adam's sin and not Eve's? who did Eve disobey?

·      Who did God command? Genesis 3:16-17 Adam.  Was this before or after Eve was made? Before

·      Adam would have instructed Eve not to eat of fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

·      When Satan asked her, "Did God say?"  Could she have been thinking no, Adam did. She was disobeying Adam, "God's prophet" to her.

·      When the world that was, was destroyed by the flood. Sin still remained because Noah and his sons were still sinful men.

·      After they came out of the ark and sacrificed to God, God again proclaimed imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. This included Noah and all those who replenished the earth.

The end of this present evil world Matthew 24:3

·      2Peter 3:7,10-12 with Matthew 13:36-42

·       Between Revelation 20:15 and 21:1

·      Revelation 21:5 all things will be made new - a new sinless world in the new earth.

The world to come: with out end, the glory due His name.
