The unfallen
“worlds”, and the unfallen beings therein which
“went not astray”, being
“just persons, which need no repentance”:
Hebrews 1:2 KJB - Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews 11:3 KJB - 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.
Side note, those of man-kind, which are in Christ Jesus, are the 'aliens' to the wicked, for we are the very strangers and pilgrims [Satan has counterfeited and reversed this] in the universe. In reverse, the unfallen worlds are the natural, and sinners are the unnatural, thus are alienated from God:
Hebrews 11:13 KJB - These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
We are that one lost world, whom the Son of God, 'Jesus', left the
'99' for in Heaven to come and save us, that he might come from that
“far country” and deliver us, and
“return home” with us, that we may once again have a
“place” among those
“many mansions”:
Matthew 18:11 KJB - For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Matthew 18:12 KJB - How think ye? if a man have
an hundred sheep, and
one of them be gone astray, doth he not
leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
Notice, Jesus 'left' the 99 where they were and came to seek the lost sheep (us, sinners) this one lost world. The 99 did not go "astray" (sin). They are the unfallen worlds. The Father, the Husbandman (John 15:1), sent the Son the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4).
Matthew 18:13 KJB - And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of
the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Luke 15:4 KJB - What man of you, having
an hundred sheep, if he
lose one of them, doth not
leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and
go after that which is lost, until he find it?
Luke 15:5 KJB - And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luke 15:6 KJB - And when
he cometh home,
he calleth together [his] friends and neighbours, saying unto them,
Rejoice with me; for
I have found my sheep which was lost.
Luke 15:7 KJB - I say unto you, that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Notice that these 99 "need no repentance", for they never sinned. These worlds existed before earth was created (Job 38:7, thus they could rejoice and sing when God created in Genesis 1:1 this "heaven and earth"). Genesis 1-2 is only concerned with the 1st (Genesis 1:20) and 2nd (Genesis 1:14-19) Heaven, not the 3rd Heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2,4 the Heavenly Paradise/Eden that existed before, which God took a portion of an "planted" (like a transplant, a portion of that which existed already, for it does not say God created it there, which is why God took it back just before the flood and you see it in Revelation with the Tree of Life there) on earth (Genesis 2:8)) where God already exists, and the worlds already present there. Everyone on this world (lost one), needs repentance. The Heavenly unfallen beings do not. The Four Living creatures of Revelation represent in symbol all those unfallen worlds (4 is universal, and Beast is a nation/peoples), and the 24 Elders are the General Conference of Heaven, as they are the representative leaders of those unfallen worlds, as Adam was the "son of God" for this world, before Satan usurped that position, and became the "god of this world", which Adam (not Deity, but ruler in stewardship under God, as they were before accepting satan, as "gods" (rulers having dominion, Adam/Eve - not Deity) knowing good ...) was before.
Notice, that "joy" was in "Heaven" among the "friends and neighbours" of the Son of God. The unfallen worlds, notice:
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
John 14:1 KJB - Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:2 KJB -
In my Father's house are
many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare
a place for you.
The Father's House is all of Heaven, spread out as a tent, and each "world" is a "room"/"place" therein.
Isa_40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers;
that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Just as God made this earth, there are other inhabited worlds (Hebrews 1 & 11) for His other children:
Isa_45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
John 14:3 KJB - And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that
where I am, [there] ye may be also.
John 14:4 KJB - And
whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
The very
“sons of God” who rule the unfallen worlds, as Adam [Luke 3:38 KJB], the first [1 Corinthians 15:45,46,47 KJB], on earth had [Genesis 1:26,28; Psalms 8:5 KJB] before his fall, and the angelic
“morning stars”:
Job 1:6 KJB - Now there was a day when
the sons of God came to
present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1 KJB - Again there was a day when
the sons of God came to
present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Job 38:4 KJB - Where wast thou
when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding
Job 38:5 KJB - Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 KJB - Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 KJB - When
the morning stars sang together, and
all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Side note, none of these Job texts, in regards the “sons of God”, are dealing with the Genesis 6-9 KJB account. Job 1:6, 2:1 KJB deals with the timeframe in a period well after the flood, and Job 38:4-7 KJB deals with the timeframe long before the flood, when the earth was created. The only texts in Job which are dealing directly with the timeframe of the flood, are Job 22:15,16,17, 26:5 KJB, and please notice it speaks of “men”.
For more on who the “sons of God” are in Genesis 6:2,4 KJB, please see Luke 3:38; Genesis 4:26 KJB, etc., and for the daughters of men, see Genesis 4:16-24 KJB.
Those in that
“far country”, even the
“end of heaven”:
Isaiah 13:5 KJB - They come from
a far country, from
the end of heaven,
even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Matthew 21:33 KJB - Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Matthew 25:14 KJB - For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
Mark 12:1 KJB - And he began to speak unto them by parables. A [certain] man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about [it], and digged [a place for] the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
Luke 19:12 KJB - He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Luke 20:9 KJB - Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
