36: Iesous answered My kingdom is not from this kosmos[1] if my kingdom were from this kosmos then would my servants
fight that I should not be delivered to the Jews but at this time is my kingdom
not from here
[1] Jesus called Satan the prince of this kosmos John 12:31, John 14:30, John
16:11 Paul also called Satan the god of this kosmos 2 Corinthians 4:4 The kosmos can refer to either planet earth or to all of the planets—the entire
universe, the space time continuum. What is interesting about Jesus’ statement
about his kingdom not being from this
kosmos (as opposed to some other kosmos), is the implication that this kosmos (universe/space time continuum)
may not be the only kosmos God ever created. The God of
creation lives outside the space time continuum we understand to be our
universe. He created it and the boundaries of it. We leave it to the
reader to meditate on this thought.

Untranslated words in this verse:
Iesous Pronounced
Ee-A-Soos G2424 translated Jesus: Yeshua
is the Hebrew name, and its English spelling is “Joshua.” Iesous is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name, and its
English spelling is “Jesus.” Thus, the names “Joshua” and “Jesus” are
essentially the same; both are English pronunciations of the Hebrew and Greek
names for our Lord. For examples of how the two names are interchangeable, see
Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 in the KJV. In both cases, the word Iesous refers to the Old Testament
character Joshua. Because of disparities in English translation of the word, Iesous
will remain untranslated throughout the main body of scripture this commentary.

who inhabit the earth
