Verse 3
worlds = ages. Greek. aion . App-129 .
framed = prepared, as Hebrews 10:5 . Greek. katartizo . App-125 .
word . Greek. rhema. See Mark 9:32 .
God . App-98 .
so = to (Greek. eis) the end.
were . . . made = came into being. Greek. ginomai, to become.
appear . Greek. phaino. App-106 . The reference is not to creation, but to the ordering by God of the dispensations, each of which succeeded but did not spring from its predecessor as a plant does from its seed. By rendering aionas as "worlds" here; katertisthai as "framed", instead of "prepared"; and gegonenai as "made", instead of "came into being", or "came to pass", the meaning of this important statement is lost.
