'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.

the field is the world; and the good seed—these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

What will it benefit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

Woe to the world because of offenses. For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes.

This good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end will come.

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.

I assure you: Wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
