What does the Bible say about the nature of the world?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the world in different Greek terms, indicating various meanings such as the inhabited world, the world system, and an age.

The Bible uses three Greek words that translate as 'world,' each carrying a distinct meaning. One refers to the inhabited world, like the Roman Empire, while another describes the world system or order, which includes all of humanity—Jew and Gentile. The third word indicates an era, capturing the concept of an extended period of time. Understanding these definitions is crucial to accurately interpreting the Scriptures.
