Title: Ages prepared by a saying of God
Post by: eggi on April 18, 2007, 06:14:43 PM

While studying tonight I came across Heb 11:3.

The King James didn't make much sense to me:

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Heb 11:3 KJV)

I saw that "worlds" was translated from G165, so I checked out Young's Literal Translation:

by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing; (Heb 11:3 YLT)

Preparing the ages (all events) is quite a difference from just framing a physical world (or worlds as the KJV has it)!!

Yet another proof of how things are LOST in translation...

Thought I'd just share my little discovery with you.

PS. I'm reading the forum, but lately I have been to busy to post. Miss you all, God bless you!

Hi Eggi

I love that!  What about the 2nd half?  Is it just talking about atoms and such that we can't see or is there a BT explanation?
