A FURTHER LOOK AT THE WORDS AGE (AION) AND WORLD (KOSMOS)

A FURTHER LOOK AT THE WORDS AGE (AION) AND WORLD (KOSMOS)
Dr David O. Ogaga

From the previous study, we were able to see the true meaning of the words Age (Aion) and word (Kosmos) as specifying periods, ages, time and the state of affairs (system of things) that characterized that period of existence. May we now look at some Scriptural implication of these words as used in the Bible.
1. ACCORDING TO HEB. 1:2 WHAT DO WE UNDERSTAND BY THE WORLDS THAT JESUS CREATED? “God… Hath is these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of ALL THINGS by whom also HE MADE THE WORLDS. KJV. Notice that the worlds here is plural, so it is not one world as if referring to our globe as people commonly believe. He has ordained that ALL CREATION shall ultimately belong. “(Philips)” …. through whom He created ALLL ORDERS OF EXISTENCE. “NEB”. … through whom He made THE SYSTEM OF THINGS”. (Int. Lin. Trans). From the comparison of the above translation, the WORLDS as used here means that all prevailing states of affairs or the various “systems of things” that existed, are existing and that will exist are the direct creation (ordination) of God in Christ. Hence we read “He created everything there is – nothing exists that He didn’t make; Christ Himself is the creator who made everything in heaven and earth, the things we can see and the things we can’t the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers and authorities, all were made by Christ for His use and glory”. Jn. 1:3, Col. 1:16. Tlb,. See also I Cor. 8:6, Rom. 11:36, Rev. 4:11, Eph. 2;7. So we can see that everything in existence, the state affairs, even in the AGES-AION to come are the direct creation and in control of God’s power – His Christ.
