Present World

• Demas
• Backsliders
• Covetousness

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

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.

• Glory

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

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:

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

• Blinded
• Character
• Gospel

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

• Darkness

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

• Earth
• FOOTSTOOL
• Stool

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
