What is the biblical view of the world?

Are the inhabitants of such worlds acquainted with the state or condition of this world?

Yes—they are to some extent acquainted with the affairs of earth through information derived from those who have left your world. Constituted as you are on earth, they are possessed of the same desires to attain to something higher, and consequently we find them seeking after knowledge—prying into the heavens as you do to learn something of the worlds rolling in space around them, and anxious, like the philosophers of earth, to discover the laws, which govern those wonderful and glorious works of the Almighty's Hand. But they are in a much higher condition for receiving and imparting instruction than the inhabitants of earth. I knew comparatively little of those great bodies that have attracted the attention of astronomers in all ages of your world. But still, I think, we of the magi were as far advanced in our ideas of the nature of the heavenly bodies as your philosophers of the present day.
