It is my opinion that the LORD performed a marvelous work in the kingdoms of man. Oh, you do not really care about my opinion. Well, in that case, here is the opinion of God.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31) Since God saw it as being good, who am I to say that it is not? What I can say, though, is this: as a result of mankind’s intervention, the worlds of the kingdom of man needed some progressive refinement. The apostle Peter speaks of a portion of the refinement that was done to the worlds of the kingdom of man (or is it, to the kingdoms of the worlds of man?)
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (2 Peter 3:1-7) So, let us take a step back to the time of the apostle. We do this, so that we can move through the final preparations that the kingdoms made, by command of the LORD, to arrive at the world of the kingdoms of man, of now. We want to determine if this current world is also a world that is fitted for destruction. We will not try to plead its case if the Scripture says that this world must pass away for the sake of another. In that case, we will accept its (and our) place in reality as being a part of the flow of reality that the apostle Paul wrote about, here.. . .
