(This is a reference of the fall of the human race into sin.)

- Certain things changed as a result of the fall. Many of these changes will be undone when Jesus returns to rule the earth.
- These changes include death.
This refers to the fall of humans into a state of sin - its general effects on creation.
- For examples of specific consequences of specific sins by people or nations, see: Consequences of Sin.

Scripture Pages that Link to Here
- A reference to God providing for meat-eating creatures. This wouldn't have been the case before Adam had sinned!
- Regarding the relationships between various species of animals: The entrance of sin into the world has complicated matters, by introducing death. Now, the provision for one animal (such as the lioness - Job 38:39) may result in the death of another (such as the mountain goat or doe - Job 39:1). But this is only a temporary situation; and in the future, it will cease to be this way - Isaiah 11:6-9 and Isaiah 65:25.
- Instinctively, all these animals do what they were intended to do in this present age. When the curse of sin is removed from the earth (Romans 8:20-23, etc.), there will be an adjustment in their natures. (Certain characteristics and traits were introduced at the time of the Fall. Such characteristics were not part of their natures before then, and will be changed after Jesus returns!)
- This glory and goodness in creation (a reflection of God's glory and goodness) will remain forever. The negative aspects of creation - the consequences of sin's entrance into the world - are temporary, and will one day be gone.
- Ecc 3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: (A list of 14 cycles follows).
- Some of these Cycles in Life occur simply because of the nature of creation; others because of the presence (and effects) of sin in the world. (This list of "cycles" would have been somewhat different, if sin had not entered the world. But because of the effects of sin, various aspects related to the "burden" of life are now present.)
- (This passage describes what happened.)
