'Of the World' in the Bible

Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

“You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden.

so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:I will open My mouth in parables;I will declare things kept secretfrom the foundation of the world.

For at that time there will be great tribulation, the kind that hasn’t taken place from the beginning of the world until now and never will again!

Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

For those will be days of tribulation, the kind that hasn’t been from the beginning of the world, which God created, until now and never will be again!

So he took Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

so that this generation may be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world—

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.”

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

I will not talk with you much longer, because the ruler of the world is coming. He has no power over Me.

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

I have given them Your word.The world hated thembecause they are not of the world,as I am not of the world.

I am not prayingthat You take them out of the worldbut that You protect them from the evil one.

They are not of the world,as I am not of the world.

For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.

But a married man is concerned about the things of the world—how he may please his wife—

and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

In the same way we also, when we were children, were in slavery under the elemental forces of the world.

For He chose us in Him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love

Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ.

(for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what He has said:So I swore in My anger,they will not enter My rest.And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world,

Otherwise, He would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

He was chosen before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the times for you

And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent His Son as the world’s Savior.

The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:The kingdom of the world has become the kingdomof our Lord and of His Messiah,and He will reign forever and ever!

All those who live on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name was not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered.

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who live on the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present again.
