Hi Shelby,

*** Rbi8 Psalm 17:14 ***
14 From men, [by] your hand, O Jehovah,
From men of [this] system of things, whose share is in [this] life,
And whose belly you fill with your concealed treasure,
Who
are satisfied with sons
*** Rbi8 Matthew 12:32 ***
32 For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system
of things nor in that to come.
*** Rbi8 Mark 4:19 ***
19 but the anxieties of this system of things and the deceptive power of riches and the desires for the rest of the things make inroads and choke the word, and it becomes
unfruitful.
*** Rbi8 Luke 16:8 ***
8 And his master commended the steward, though unrighteous, because he acted with practical wisdom; for the sons of this system of things are wiser in a practical way toward their own generation
than the sons of the light are.
*** Rbi8 Romans 12:2 ***
2 And quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making YOUR mind over, that YOU may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will
of God.
*** Rbi8 1 Corinthians 1:20 ***
20 Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish?
*** Rbi8 2 Corinthians 4:3-5 ***
3 If, now, the
good news we declare is in fact veiled, it is veiled among those who are perishing, 4 among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ,
who is the image of God, might not shine through. 5
*** Rbi8 Galatians 1:4 ***
4 He gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from the present wicked system of things according to the will of our God and Father,
*** Rbi8
Ephesians 1:21-22 ***
21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come. 22 He also subjected all things under his feet, and made him
head over all things to the congregation,
*** Rbi8 1 Timothy 6:17 ***
Give orders to those who are rich in the present system of things not to be high-minded, and to rest their hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God, who furnishes
us all things richly for our enjoyment;
*** Rbi8 2 Timothy 4:10 ***
10 For De'mas has forsaken me because he loved the present system of things, and he has gone to Thes�sa�lo�ni'ca; Cres'cens to Ga�la'ti�a, Titus to Dal�ma'tia.
*** Rbi8 Titus
2:12 ***
12 instructing us to repudiate ungodliness and worldly desires and to live with soundness of mind and righteousness and godly devotion amid this present system of things,
*** Rbi8 Hebrews 6:5 ***
5 and who have tasted the
fine word of God and powers of the coming system of things
*** Rbi8 1577 5B Christ's Presence (Parousia) ***
In Mt 24:3, as well as in other texts such as 1Th 3:13 and 2Th 2:1, the word pa�rou�si'a refers to the royal presence of Jesus
Christ since his enthronement as King in the last days of this system of things./Agape Rosetta
