My Thoughts

Everyone has a worldview. It's just the way they have learned through experience and explanation. Sometimes it's correct, sometimes it's not.

One pillar of every worldview is the fact that everything we see and know resets, or is established, on something more permanent. (The joke of the person explaining the foundation of their world view as, it's turtles all the way down, is one way of explaining it. but it really isn't sufficient.) We also know via science that everything had a beginning based on entropy (Like a wind up clock that is currently ticking at one point had to be wound-up.)

The way I look at the establishment of a foundation in the Biblical Worldview is the Bibles repeated use of the phrase similar to, 'from everlasting to everlasting' or 'forever and ever'. The picture that pops into my mind is a foot bridge with two poles supporting it. If you're standing in the middle of the bridge you can look back to one everlasting and forward to another everlasting. So in phrases like His Kingdom is forever and ever, is inherently stating the quality of the poles supporting the bridge, in that's it's only God's Kingdom that supports all that we know. Another phrase, and He shall reign forever and ever. Of course the King of the eternal Kingdom is the one that will reign and it explains how he supports all things and in him all things hold together.

I will continue to flesh this out with many more specific Bible verses in more posts
