'Earth' in the Bible

The earth produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head [of grain], then the mature grain in the head.

It is like a mustard seed, which, when it is sown on the ground, even though it is smaller than all the [other] seeds that are [sown] on the soil,

For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake and the gospel’s will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].

and His clothes became radiant and dazzling, intensely white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

And then He will send out the angels, and will gather together His elect [those He has chosen for Himself] from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of heaven.

Heaven and earth [as now known] will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
