Heb. 6:5• 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (Heb. 6:5)
;
2 Peter 3:13• 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13)
;
Rev. 11:15• 15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. (Rev. 11:15)
• In chapter 2 they {the angels} have no place, they do not reign; the world to come is not made subject to them-that is, this habitable earth, directed and governed as it will be when God shall have accomplished that which He has spoken of by the prophets. (“Hebrews 2” by J.N. Darby)
• Scripture speaks of three worlds: the world before the flood, of which Peter writes, “the world that then was”; the present world, “the heavens and the earth which are now” (2 Peter 3:6-7); and, in this passage, “the world to come.” “The world to come” refers to the millennial earth, introducing an order of blessing which does not yet exist. This new world of blessing will be in subjection to the Son of Man and thus the scene for the display of His glory. (“The Glory of the Son of Man: Hebrews 2:5-18” by H. Smith)
