The Creation of the WORLD Versus the Universe!
***What Does Mark 10:6 TRULY mean?
Here is Mark 10:6 from the KJV. “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.”
Does Mark 10:6 PROVE that Adam existed at the beginning of the creation of the entire universe as Young Earth Creationist Christians CLAIM that this verse means?
In other words, does this verse of Scripture prove that Jesus is referring to the ORIGINAL creation of the entire universe?
Or is Jesus simply referring to the beginning of THIS PRESENT AGE in which Almighty God the Father created the first MAN around 6,000 years ago?

The Lamb Was Slain From the Foundation of the World!
When was the FOUNDATION of the WORLD?
Was the foundation of the WORLD at the very beginning when God ORIGINALLY created the entire universe?
Or was the foundation of the world the BEGINNING of the creation when God created Adam and Eve?
Does the beginning of the creation of the WORLD mean the same as the beginning of the original creation of the entire universe?
Let us find out the SOUND Biblical answers to these questions by comparing Scripture with Scripture.
According to Revelation 13:8, all Christians should know and understand that Jesus was not LITERALLY SLAIN at the foundation of the WORLD, Strong’s number G3889.
But rather, in God’s PLAN of salvation, which God made BEFORE the foundation of the WORLD, God’s Messiah was an innocent lamb who would be SLAIN by the princes of this AGE, according to 1 Corinthians 2:6-9.
Now, Satan and his angels were ALREADY God’s ENEMIES BEFORE God made MAN and the Son of MAN a little LOWER than the Elohim to dwell on the earth for the PURPOSE of having DOMINION over the earth, according to Psalm 8:1-6.
In other words, had the ENEMIES of God, Satan and his angels KNOWN, then they would not have crucified the Lord of glory, by influencing the Jews to cry out to Pontious Pilate saying Crucify him, in Mark 15:6-15.
1 Corinthians 2:5-9 from the New American Standard Bible.
“So that your faith would NOT rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:6. Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, NOT of THIS AGE nor of the rulers of this AGE, who are passing away;
1 Corinthians 2:7. But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the AGES to our glory;
1 Corinthians 2:8. The wisdom which none of the rulers of THIS AGE has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; (According to Acts 2:36, God MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection)
1 Corinthians 2:9. But just as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him.”
We already learned that the PURPOSE for God creating man to dwell on the earth was to have DOMINION over the earth, according to Psalm 8:1-6.
And in Hebrews 1:1,2, we learn that God made the WORLDS in the plural, which should be translated as God made the AGES for a Son to INHERIT.
Hebrews 1:1,2 from the Young’s Literal Translation.
“In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
Hebrews 1:2. In these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the AGES;”
Acts 17:23-25.
“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.
Act 17:24. God that made the WORLD (G2889) and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
Acts 17:25. Neither is worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things;
Acts 17:26. And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Acts 17:27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us:
Acts 17:28. For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.
Acts 17:29. Forasmuch then, as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Acts 17:30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent:
Acts 17:31. Because He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that MAN whom He has ordained; whereof He has given assurance unto all men, in that He has raised him from the DEAD.”
Mark 13:18-20.
“And pray you that your flight is not in the winter.
Mark 13:19. For in those days shall be AFFLICTION, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. (In other words, Satan’s AFFLICTION and wrath upon man shall be AGAIN, such as it was not since the beginning of the creation of this present age.
And neither shall such AFFLICTION by God’s enemies ever be again after God destroys them in the lake of fire on the final Day of Judgment)
Mark 13:20. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom He has chosen, He has shortened the days.”
Can you not see that the beginning of the creation does NOT dogmatically mean the very beginning of the ORIGINAL creation of the entire universe?
Jesus is comparing what it was like at the BEGINNING before the creation of the WORLD, speaking of this present AGE.
And there was great AFFLICTION so great that there has not been any affliction that great SINCE the time of the creation of this present AGE.
But that great AFFLICTION shall take place again at the end of the AGES, this present age and at the end of the world to come for a little season.
However, after God destroyed His enemies in the lake of fire, there shall never be any affliction ever again.
Ephesians 3:9-11.
“And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the WORLD (Or more correctly translated and understood, and to make all men UNDERSTAND what is the fellowship of the secret, which from the beginning of this AGE) has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 3:10. To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Ephesians 3:11. According to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:”
Now, the fallen Elohim were not always God’s enemies.
For you see, the Bible itself clearly teaches us Isaiah 14:12, that Lucifer has FALLEN from heaven, and that he shall be cut down to the ground.
And thus, Lucifer was NOT a MURDER from the VERY beginning of the creation of the entire universe.
Rather, Lucifer was once a good Elohim in the eternity past BEFORE he corrupted himself to become a murderer and the OPPRESSOR of God’s creatures during the FORMER AGE of the earth.
John 8:44.
“You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the BEGINNING, (Again, the BEGINNING cannot possibly mean the very beginning of the creation of the entire universe, because God does NOT create MURDERS) and abode not in the truth, (Or Lucifer did not REMAIN in the truth) because (Now, after he fell from heaven) there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Again, God did NOT create Lucifer to become a MURDER and a LIAR.
Lucifer corrupted himself, and thus, God had to cast him out of heaven and imprison him and his angels to the earth.
1 John 3:8.
“He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the BEGINNING. (Or the devil sinned BEFORE the beginning of this present AGE when God created MAN for the PURPOSE of having the DOMINION or the RULE over the earth) For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”
Again, there is a VAST difference between the BEGINNING of creation of the entire universe and the BEGINNING of the creation of the WORLD.
Acts 15:18.
“Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the WORLD.”
The English word “WORLD” in Acts 15:18, is translated from the Greek word “aion”, Strong’s number G165, which also means an AGE and also AGES in the plural like it is correctly translated in Hebrews 1:2 in the Young’s Literal Translation.
G165
αἰών
aiōn
ahee-ohn'
From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): - age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550.
Total KJV occurrences: 128.
And the English word FROM is translated from the Greek word “apo” , which also means BEFORE and BECAUSE of the beginning of the AGE before God created man to dwell on the earth, that this PRESENT world was made, BRUISED and then FIXED or restore to be habitable once again.
In other words, God EXTENDED the TIME of the earth for 7,000 years to JUDGE the world that was then before God created Adam and Eve.
For you see, the everlasting fire was prepared for Satan and his angels, but God DEFERRED their destruction for seven days or for seven thousand years.
I cover the Scripture that proves what I am saying in other studies.
So, I implore you to read all of the studies under the subject heading menu called ** The PREVIOUS AGE of the Earth! **
But for now, here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines the Greek word “apo” which is translated in Mark 10:6 as FROM the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
In other words, the correct understanding of Mark 10:6 is BECAUSE of the AFFLICTION during the previous age God created man, male and female to REPLENISH the earth which WAS without form and void.
For you see, the earth BECAME without form and void during the WRATH of God to OVERTHROWN the heavens that wage the WAR against the other side of heaven, according to Deuteronomy 4:32.
G575
ἀπό
apo
apo'
A primary particle; “off”, that is, away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literally or figuratively): - (X here-) after, ago, at, because of, before, by (the space of), for (-th), from, in, (out) of, off, (up-) on (-ce), since, with. In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc.
Total KJV occurrences: 649.
So then, what Mark 10:6 truly means in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God is as follows in a paraphrased version with these other meanings of the Greek words.
Mark 10:6. A more correct understanding.
“But from the beginning of the creation of the AGES. for the PURPOSE of MAN dwelling on the earth to have DOMINION, God made them male and female.”
Acts 15:18 from Young’s Literal Translation.
“Known from the AGES to God are all His works;”
Again, even a more correct translation is “Known BEFORE the AGES to God were all His works.”
But God kept His works a SECRET from His ENEMIES.
For you see, had the RULERS of that previous AGE know all of God’s works, then they would not have crucified the Son of MAN, Jesus, who was made to become the Lord of GLORY after the cross and resurrection, according to Luke 24:26 and Acts 2:36.
In other words, if Satan would have known that God was going to DETHRONE him and PROMOTE the Son of MAN, Jesus, to REPLACE him as the God over the whole earth.
You see, according to Acts 17:29,30, God will JUDGE the world by the MAN He raised from the DEAD.
A LIFE for a LIFE so to speak. Thus, Satan will be found worthy to be DESTROYED in the fire that God prepared for him and his fallen Elohim.
And had those princes of the principalities of the air KNOWN the works of God, then they would not influence men to crucify the Lord that would GLORIFY the Creator.
Now, just to summarize briefly, BEFORE God created Adam and Eve, the angels existed, which means the universe existed BEFORE the creation of MAN.
We also learn from Psalm 8:1-6 that some of the Elohim were ALREADY the ENEMIES of God BEFORE God made MAN and the Son of MAN as little lower or inferior to the Elohim.
We also learned that Lucifer SINNED before the creation of man.
We learned that Satan was a MURDERER before God created man.
And we learned that Satan is the father of LIES. Sometimes the Bible uses the word father to carry the meaning of being the AUTHOR or the originator of LIES.
In the next verse, we will learn that LUST existed BEFORE the creation of the AGES to judge Satan and the fallen Elohim and promote RIGHTEOUS men in their place.
2 Peter 3:3-13.
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own LUST,
2 Peter 3:4. And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since (Or because BEFORE) the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from (Or BEFORE) the BEGINNING of the CREATION. (Speaking of the beginning of the creation of the AGES to judge the previous AGE of Lucifer’s rebellion to wage a WAR against the other side of heaven.
So then, according to the YEC Christian INTERPRETATION of Mark 10:6, since the beginning all of God’s creation in the entire universe men have been walking after their own lust from the very beginning when God created them.
And thus, to THEM, the YEC Christians, the flood Peter is referring to is the flood of Noah and not some so-called flood at the beginning of the creation of the entire universe/
But according to what Mark, Peter, Jesus, and all of his disciples of Jesus, they are all actually saying in all of the verses in the New Testament the following.
Because of the time since or when the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were BEFORE the beginning of the creation of this present AGE into this present world.
And those rulers of darkness of that previous AGE CONTINUE doing the same evil things in this present AGE)
2 Peter 3:5. For this they (The YEC Christians being prophesied in verse 4) are WILLINGLY ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of OLD, (In other words, the universe were already ANCIENT before some in the previous age started to LUST after things) and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2 Peter 3:6. Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, PERISHED:, (What some Christians have not discerned is that God made some of His angels to become spirits without a body at the TIME when God CUT DOWN the earth by a FLOOD before God FIXED, RESTORED or recreated the earth to be inhabitable once again.
For you see, how could Satan, who is an angel, POSSESS people if so be the fallen still have bodies.
How can all of the devils possess unsaved people if the fallen angels still have bodies?
Now, all of the angels were not made spirits without bodies at the beginning of CREATION, because some of the sons of God mated with the daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4 and born children, which were giants.
And during the flood of Noah, those angels that did not keep their first estate were made spirits as well. In Jude 1:6 we read that they left their own habitation.
And in Hebrews 1:7, God said He made His angels spirits.
Now, that could be God created the angels and spirit beings, which is what church tradition teaches.
But when I read Psalm 104:1-6, the verse in that passage of Scripture in the Old Testament that the writer of Hebrews quotes in Hebrew 1:7, then I see that some of the angels BECAME spirits in the WRATH of Almighty God at the time of the FOUNDATION of the earth.
So please read the study called Hebrews 1:7 What Does it TRULY Mean?
Now, for YEC Christians to try to argue that Peter is talking about the flood of Noah in 2 Peter 3:3-13 and NOT about the FLOOD at the BEGINNING of the CREATION of this present AGE, is to DENY the CONTEXT of this passage of Scripture.
In other words, Peter is talking about SIN, people walking after their own lust that was after the fathers fell asleep at the beginning of the CREATION.
And thus, that interpretation has the angels sinning against God from the very beginning that God created them/
And also, Noah’s flood was NOT at the BEGINNING of CREATION, which is the FLOOD that Peter is talking about)
2 Peter 3:7. 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 3:8. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (Now, to all YEC Christains who are WILLINGLY ignorant by their CHOICE to wrongly believe that Genesis chapter 1 is speaking to the ORIGINAL creation of the entire universe, I ask the following question.
Since the SEVENTH Day, the Day of the Lord, is a 1000 years long DAY, then WHY would the first six days be only 24 hour days and NOT 1000 year long days as well?)
2 Peter 3:9. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (And I myself have to wonder about the Christians who have been told the truth, but they reject the truth, if they are alive at the coming of Jesus, will they be left on the earth to suffer the WRATH of God.
For you see, Jesus is talking to some in the church in Revelation who are of the synagogue of Satan that will be cast into the HOUR of temptation as it is translated in the KJV, which is the WRATH of God.
Now, I realize that the church is not APPOINTED to the wrath of God, but Ephesians 5:6 WARNS us to not be DECEIVED for the wrath of God will be upon the children of DISOBEDIENCE)
2 Peter 3:10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. (Now, the earth does not pass away until AFTER the 1000 year long Day of the Lord has ended.
And WHEN is the Day of the Lord? It is the AGE to come or the WORLD to come.
So then, we have THIS PRESENT AGE or this present WORLD and also the WORLD to come.
Thus, we have TWO worlds PLUS the NEW heavens and the new earth that God will create after the final Day of Judgment of the WORLD and of the fallen Elohim, Satan and his angels.
And in Hebrews 1:1,2, we learn that God made the WORLDS for the sake of His Son, Jesus, to INHERIT.
And we are the JOINT-HEIRS with Jesus.
Thus, the WORLDS, Strong’s number G2889 is speaking of God making the AGES at the BEGINNING in Genesis 1:1-31, when God created the first man Adam to dwell on the earth that God RESTORED some 6,000 years ago)
2 Peter 3:11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2 Peter 3:12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? (In other words, we are desiring the final Day of Judgment to come, but we are actually looking for the NEW Heavens and the NEW earth, wherein there will be no more EVIL or no more SEA.
According to Isaiah 57:20, the word “sea” is symbolic for the wicked sinners, and in the new earth there will be no more sin)
2 Peter 3:13. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Again, Revelation 13:8 says that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the WORLD.
But the Apostle Peter uses a different Greek word in 1 Peter 1:19-20, which means AGE when speaking of the SAME thing in Revelation 13:8 concerning the lamb being foreordained by God to be slain BEFORE the FOUNDATION of the WORLD.
1 Peter 1:19-21.
“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter 1:20. Who verily was foreordained BEFORE the foundation of the WORLD, (Or BEFORE the foundation of the AGES, which God made for Jesus to INHERIT, according to Hebrews 1:1.2) but was manifest in these last times for you,
1 Peter 1:21. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the DEAD, and GAVE him GLORY; that your faith and hope might be in God.
I want you to read a few more verses of Scripture showing that the words WORLD and AGE are speaking of the same things.
Revelation 13:4-10.
“And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him? (Here we see that those who make WAR are actually followers of Satan, that old dragon)
Revelation 13:5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Revelation 13:6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (Saying things about God that are NOT TRUE is a form of BLASPHEMING God.
And thus, saying that the God described in the Bible is the greatest DECEIVER of all is BLASPHEMING Almighty God.
For you see, the Bible itself teaches us that Satan is the DECEIVER, not Almighty God.)
Revelation 13:7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (To me, this is radical Islam rising to power in the Middle East, which is why Jesus warns the Christians and the Jews to FLEE Judea when they see ARMIES surrounding Israel seeking to wipe the Jews and the Christians in that country off the face of the earth)
Revelation 13:8. And all that dwell upon the earth (Or all who dwell in the LAND in Islamic dominated countries) shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the FOUNDATION of the world. (Please read the study called Q-5. What Does the Foundation of the World TRULY Mean?)
Revelation 13:9. If any man has an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13:10. He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
In other words, do NOT take up the sword to save your mortal life for the SAKE of the gospel or you will lose your eternal life.
Revelation 17:8.
“The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
Now, Ecclesiastes 3:15 and 1:9-11 teach us that which has BEEN is NOW or what happened in the previous AGE of the earth is happening AGAIN in this present age.
And that which is to be has already been or what shall be in the future has already been again in this present world.
And God requires that which is past. Or God will JUDGE the disobedient to His word.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
