'Earth' in the Bible

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.To Him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by His blood,

Look! He is coming with the clouds,and every eye will see Him,including those who pierced Him.And all the families of the earthwill mourn over Him.This is certain. Amen.

Because you have kept My command to endure, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is going to come over the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or even to look in it.

Then I saw One like a slaughtered lamb standing between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth.

You made them a kingdomand priests to our God,and they will reign on the earth.

I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them say:Blessing and honor and glory and dominionto the One seated on the throne,and to the Lamb, forever and ever!

Then another horse went out, a fiery red one, and its horseman was empowered to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And a large sword was given to him.

And I looked, and there was a pale green horse. The horseman on it was named Death, and Hades was following after him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.

They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?”

the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind;

Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, restraining the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

Then I saw another angel, who had the seal of the living God rise up from the east. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were empowered to harm the earth and the sea:

“Don’t harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we seal the slaves of our God on their foreheads.”

The angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; there were rumblings of thunder, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled to the earth. So a third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!”

The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. The key to the shaft of the abyss was given to him.

Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power was given to them like the power that scorpions have on the earth.

They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.

He swore an oath by the One who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: “There will no longer be an interval of time,

These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.

These men have the power to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the days of their prophecy. They also have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every plague whenever they want.

Those who live on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send gifts to one another because these two prophets brought judgment to those who live on the earth.

The nations were angry,but Your wrath has come.The time has comefor the dead to be judgedand to give the rewardto Your servants the prophets,to the saints, and to those who fear Your name,both small and great,and the time has come to destroythose who destroy the earth.

His tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. And the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she did give birth he might devour her child.

So the great dragon was thrown out—the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the one who deceives the whole world. He was thrown to earth, and his angels with him.

Therefore rejoice, you heavens,and you who dwell in them!Woe to the earth and the sea,for the Devil has come down to youwith great fury,because he knows he has a short time.

When the dragon saw that he had been thrown to earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.

One of his heads appeared to be fatally wounded, but his fatal wound was healed. The whole earth was amazed and followed the beast.

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.

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; he had two horns like a lamb, but he sounded like a dragon.

He exercises all the authority of the first beast on his behalf and compels the earth and those who live on it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

He also performs great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in front of people.

He deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs that he is permitted to perform on behalf of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image of the beast who had the sword wound and yet lived.

They sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders, but no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, having the eternal gospel to announce to the inhabitants of the earth—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.

He spoke with a loud voice: “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

Another angel came out of the sanctuary, crying out in a loud voice to the One who was seated on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap, for the time to reap has come, since the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

So the angel swung his sickle toward earth and gathered the grapes from earth’s vineyard, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.

Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth—so great was the quake.

The kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and those who live on the earth became drunk on the wine of her sexual immorality.”

On her forehead a cryptic name was written: BABYLON THE GREATTHE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTESAND OF THE VILE THINGS OF THE EARTH.

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.

And the woman you saw is the great city that has an empire over the kings of the earth.”

After this I saw another angel with great authority coming down from heaven, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor.

For all the nations have drunkthe wine of her sexual immorality,which brings wrath.The kings of the earthhave committed sexual immorality with her,and the merchants of the earthhave grown wealthy from her excessive luxury.

The kings of the earth who have committed sexual immorality and lived luxuriously with her will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning.

The merchants of the earth will also weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their merchandise any longer—

the light of a lampwill never shine in you again;and the voice of a groom and bridewill never be heard in you again.All this will happenbecause your merchantswere the nobility of the earth,because all the nations were deceivedby your sorcery,

and the blood of prophets and saints,and of all those slaughtered on earth,was found in you.

because His judgments are true and righteous,because He has judged the notorious prostitutewho corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;and He has avenged the blood of His slavesthat was on her hands.

Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and against His army.

and will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea.

They came up over the surface of the earth and surrounded the encampment of the saints, the beloved city. Then fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea no longer existed.

The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.
