olam' H5769 is from alam H5956 which means to veil from sight/conceal/hide/secret thing.
Deu 22:1 “When you see your brother’s ox or his sheep straying away, you shall not hide/עולם alam H5956 yourself from them. Return them to your brother without fail.
olam 𐤏𐤅𐤋𐤌 H5769 is translated in English as forever but its from alam 𐤏𐤋𐤌 H5956; properly concealed, that is, the vanishing point. Hence, it is used for an eternity past or eternity future
alam 𐤏𐤋𐤌 H5956 A primitive root; to veil from sight, that is, conceal (literally or figuratively): - X any ways, blind, dissembler, hide (self), secret (thing).
We know that the moon had a beginning (Gen 1:16) and has an end (no time-keepers in Renewed Yerushalayim Rev 22:5). Hence, we need to take the meaning that the moon concealed in itself the witness of David's SEED i.e. Yahusha ha Mashiyach and He is eternal denoted by the first olam in the verse 36 of Psalms 89.
Psa 89:36 “His (David’s) seed shall be forever H5769 עולם (olam) , And his throne as the sun before Me;
Psa 89:37 “Like the moon, it is established forever H5769 עולם (olam) And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.
Olam apart from concealing in itself a symbolic representation, it is also a vanishing point of an eternity past or eternity future. Say for example hypothetically we journeyed looking at Yahuah from a starting point of us (not Him as He is beyond time, space and matter and eternal) and as we journeyed away from Him we come to an never ending point (as we are to receive eternal life from Him), we would see Him in a vanishing point to re-appear in a transitioned form and would be able to identify Him in His first estate as Yahuah. His throne is likened to the sun and its a figure of speech in English i.e. A simile. His throne has a vanishing point as He occupies the deputyship/or of a Messenger seated as on the RIGHT HAND of the Most High, when we see Him in Renewed Yerushalayim, we will see Him on the throne as THE MOST HIGH.
We need to drill down to understand the context of what is concealed and what it holds. Hebrew words are used both positively as well as negatively.
Jhn 3:16 “For Elohim so loved the world עולם olam that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.
alam עלם expresses the motion or state of hiding.
olam עולם is literally: “that which is hidden (עלם) yet extended or connected (ו).”
So ו (uau) bridges the unseen and the seen —
it turns pure concealment (עלם) into a hidden realm extended into creation, עולם.
That’s why in Hebrew thought:
עולם = “the world” = “the concealed order of time and space”
עולם = “eternity” = “the unseen continuum beyond our grasp”
🕎 Spiritual meaning:
עלם (‘alam) — concealment: the mystery unrevealed.
עולם (olam) — the hidden revealed in form: creation, time, the “world.”
Or symbolically:
“Alam עלם is the secret. Olam עולם is the story that hides the secret.
When it says in John 3:16 Elohim so loved the world, the world עולם is the concealed order in form which needs to be identified in limited atonement (the Son gave Himself in death on the stake for) and not Universal Atonement as taught by many that He died for every single person who lived or will live on this earth.
Matt 1:21 …He shall save HIS PEOPLE from their sins
Hence, Elohim’s love is for the concealed chosen
Rom 8:19 For the intense longing of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of Elohim.
Everyone claims to the Atonement of Mashiyach but the unfolding of time will reveal the true sons for whom the Atonement was made and whom Elohim loved.
Psa 17:14 From men by Your hand, O יהוה, From men of the world H2465 חלד (chalad) whose portion is in this life, And You fill their bellies with Your treasure, They are satisfied with children, And shall leave their riches to their babes.
Here חלד (ḥeled) is often translated as world, life, or temporal existence.
But it doesn’t mean “world” in the same sense as עולם (olam) — eternity or age.
🔹 Root and meaning of חלד (ḥeled)
Root: חלד — chalad
Primary meanings:
• To fade, grow old, rot, perish, or pass away
• By extension → mortal life, the transient world
So חלד points to the decaying, perishable nature of human life — the world of the mortal flesh, in contrast to עולם, which is the hidden eternal realm.
Psalms 49:2 “Hear this, all people; give ear, all inhabitants of the world (חלד).”
Same word chalad חלד is translated as age in KJV and life in TS2009 in Job 11:17 and chalad means temporal passing age/life.
Job 11:17 and your life H2465 חלד (chalad ) would be brighter than noon. You would soar upward, you would be like the morning.
1Sa 2:8 “He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the dunghill, to sit with princes, and make them inherit a throne of esteem. For the supports of the earth belong to יהוה, and He has set the world H8398 תבל (tebel) upon them.
Tebel (תבל ) is derived from the root יבל (yabal) — “to bring, carry, flow, produce, bring forth.”
It refers to the fertile, inhabited, productive earth — the physical world of mankind. The world of habitation — the earth’s surface where life thrives
Root idea: To bring forth, to yield, to flow (as in fertility, abundance)
Psa 24:1 The earth belongs to יהוה, And all that fills it – The world H8398 תבל (tebel) and those who dwell in it.
Here Tebel = the inhabited world of people
Isaiah 26:9 When Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world (tebel תבל ) learn righteousness.
Tebel = inhabited humanity
Proverbs 8:31 “Rejoicing in His inhabited world (tebel תבל ).”
So tebel focuses on the physical, inhabited, fertile realm — the visible world of creation.
🕎 Prophetic cycle:
• ‘Alam (עלם) = concealment — the mystery hidden within Elohim.
Before anything is seen or spoken, all creation rests here as an unmanifest thought in His heart.
• Olam (עולם) = ordination of ages — the eternal pattern established.
Here, the hidden mystery takes form as divine order — the unseen covenant that frames all time and existence.
• Yalad (ילד) = bringing forth — the birthing of what was hidden.
From the womb of eternity, the concealed Word is uttered; life emerges into visibility.
This is the pulse of creation: the hidden becoming manifest, the eternal Word made flesh.
• Chalad (חלד) = corruption — the perishable cycle of mortality.
That which is born into time begins to age, fade, and return to dust.
It is the shadow side of yalad, the necessary descent of all living things into death before renewal.
• Tebel (תבל) = manifestation — the inhabited, fruitful world.
This is the field where the divine plan ripens.
The visible earth bears witness to the invisible design, and even in its decay carries the promise of resurrection.
✨ Prophetic flow for mankind (complete):
‘Alam conceals → Olam ordains → Yalad brings forth → Chalad decays → Tebel manifests —
Through this movement, the pattern of the word journeys:
from hidden thought → to eternal decree → to birth → to death and corruption → to visible restoration.
In case of the eternal Dabar:
The prophetic flow:
• ‘Alam — the concealed Word in the bosom of the Father.
• Olam — the eternal decree: “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
• Yalad — the incarnation: the Word born of flesh.
• Chalad — the realm of corruption that He entered but did not succumb to.
His body rested but did not decay — the corruption was arrested in Him.
• Tebel — the renewed earth, restored creation through His resurrection.
Alam concealed in Himself the pattern, Olam manifested and established the pattern in the eternal purpose, Yalad brought forth that pattern bodily in incarnation, Chalad couldn’t overshadow Him into corruption, Tebel showed the ripening of the plan as all patterns meet in His resurrected body.
🕎 Prophetic essence:
The Word = Messiah = the living pattern of creation and redemption.
He Himself never saw corruption, but He descended into the realm of corruption
to break its cycle and bring forth a new creation — incorruptible, eternal, and whole.
