Things that Differ

[Editor:] Not everything in the Scriptures is the same. There are different ages, administrations, gospels, days, callings, hopes, spheres of glory, resurrections, etc. Thus, there is a great need to “… distinguish between things that differ” (Philippians 1:20, MKJV). We must learn to make a difference where God makes a difference. … testing things that differ (WT); … proving the things that differ (YLT); … examine the things differing (ED). 

Various renderings of Philippians 1:20:

“distinguish between things that differ” (MKJV)

“putting to the test the things that differ” (REB);

“testing things that differ” (WT);

“proving the things that differ” (YLT);

“examine the things differing” (ED).

Disruption of the World (or Overthrow)

[ Editor: ]  “ The disruption of the world ” ( CV : Matthew 25:34; Luke 11:50; John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; Hebrew 4:3; 9:26; I Peter 1:20; Revelation 13:8; 17:8), mistakenly referred to as “the foundation of the world,” was the catastrophic overthrow of God’s original creation. “ A whole eon (age) had gone by before humanity came into being, and all the events of that eon, whatever they were, had terminated in ‘ the disruption of the world ,’ that is, the disruption of the society as it existed at that time. That society was clearly a Celestial one, for it was in being before the Earth was even founded, as Job 38:4-7 makes plain.” – John Essex, “The Vessel of Humanity,” Unsearchable Riches, volume 73 (1982).
