'World like' in the Bible

That made the world like a wilderness, and destroyed its cities; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit (the place of the dead), to the people of old, and I will make you [Tyre] live in the depths of the earth, like the ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set glory and splendor in the land of the living.

Of course, we are living in the world, but we do not wage war in a world-like way.
