It’s Only a Taste😋 You’ll Want The Cake🍰

Hebrews 2:5 (KJV) For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

As I began to read this verse something jumped out at me. The little phrase “the world to come” so I just out of curiosity looked to see how many times that phrase was mentioned. To my discovery only 5 times in my Bible..

Matthew 12:32 (KJV) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

In this world and then we read of “the world to come.” Which tells me this ain’t all there is. But there’s more Mark 10:30 (KJV) But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. We all will die in this world but there’s another world where there is eternal life. To clarify this eternal life to what it is we read this. 

Luke 18:30 (KJV) Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. There is “the world to come” and as we read it, it will not be under angel control. 

Hebrews 2:5 (KJV) For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. Why? Because now in this world we fight a fallen angel, satan.  

Isaiah 14:12 (KJV) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Ephesians 2:2 (KJV) Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: You may think “the power of the air” A power you can not see, touch or feel but it’s real. Really! You may think. Do you expect me to believe that there is a power of the air? Well, that’s totally up to you but everyday you and I use the powers in the air and give it no thought, ever heard of radio waves, bluetooth? Remove radio waves from the air and watch what happens. Have you seen radio waves?

Now the last time we read “the power of the air” is very interesting Hebrews 6:5 (KJV) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,  Like radio waves we can’t see, there is a world to come that we can’t see. But we can taste! Taste? Oh yes. I remember as a young boy when my mother would bake a cake. She had this mixing bowl where she put all the ingredients for the cake. Then she would mix it all together and pour it all into cake pans and place them in the oven to bake. But there was always some left over in the mixing bowl and she would let me and my brothers clean the bowl. Boy, that batter was good for sure. But it was only a taste of what was to come. When you and I read and study the Word of God we can get a taste of what’s to come. May I say one more time this world ain’t it, there’s more to come. Once you get a taste you’ll want the cake.
