The Word “World” in the Scriptures

“…The whole world is gone after him.” John 12:19

Did the whole world go after Christ?

“Then went all Judea and were baptized of him in Jordan.” Matthew 3:5

Was all Judea or Jerusalem baptized in the Jordan?

“We know we are of God and the whole world lieth in the wicked one.” I John 5:19

Does the “whole world” here mean everyone? If so, how is it then that there were some who were “of God?”

The words 'world' and 'all' are used in some seven or eight senses in Scripture; and it is very rarely that 'all' means all persons, taken individually. 

(Charles H. Spurgeon, Particular Redemption, A Sermon, 28 Feb 1858)

Romans 10:18

"But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their (those preaching the gospel) sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."

Did those preaching have their sound “go into all the world, unto the ends of the world?”

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.  Luke 2:1

Was “all the world” taxed? 

Probably the most quoted Bible verse, John 3:16:

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Did God so love the entire “world” and did or does “whosoever believeth”  have everlasting life? 

What sayeth the Scripture? 

 Matthew 15:24
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Who did Yahshua Christ send his disciples to?

Matthew 10:6

 ¹And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
 ²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
 ³Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
 ⁴Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
 ⁵These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

 ⁶But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Does God Love All People?

 _________________________________________

We hear it constantly: "God loves all the peoples of the world equally."
 
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son...."


But does God love everyone?


Most serious bible students  can immediately come up with one exception found in Malachi 1, and that would be Esau:

Malachi 1

 ¹The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
 ²I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
 ³And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

And here in Malachi God's hate for Esau is contrasted with his love for Jacob - meaning the Israelites.

There is another incident where we find that God, manifested as the Lord Jesus Christ,  didn't express love to all peoples - and neither did his disciples, and that was to the Canaanite woman of Matthew 15. The fact is, Yahshua called her a "dog."

If we go back to one of the very first books of the Bible, we find God has a special relationship with one peoples of the world and one people only, the Israelites:

Deuteronomy 7:6
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

Did God somehow change his mind? And start loving all the peoples of the world equally with the "special people,"  the Israelites? 


Not that this writer can find. God didn't change His mind. 


The Israelites in particular and Adamic man in general are the recipients of God's love.


Let's mention just one more example for those who don't think the three given above are sufficient. Let's look at the parable of the net.

Matthew 13:47-50 (KJV)

 ⁴⁷Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: ⁴⁸Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. ⁴⁹So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, ⁵⁰And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

The word translated as "kind" in English is Strong's #G1085 genos defined as

1) kindred

a) offspring

b) family

c) stock, tribe, nation

1) i.e. nationality or descent from a particular people

d) the aggregate of many individuals of the same nature, kind, sort

Universalists like to believe this word "kind" means "unbelievers." Of course, as we can see from the definition above, it doesn't: genos means family, stock, kindred or nation. 

At the end of the age, despite what universalists and multiculturalists believe in the depths of their hearts, it will not be the unbelievers who will be cast into the furnace of fire. 

No, Scripture plainly teaches it will be the bad kind (nations) who will be severed from the just kind nations.

Folks, that is what Scripture says: we Christian Identity adherents are not making this doctrine up: we are simply bringing to light the long hidden  truth of the Word of God.

As the saying goes, "get over it."

And yes, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth; the teeth of the bad kind nation's peoples who bought into the false idea that "God so loved the world" and I suspect the universalists and multi-culturalists will be gnashing their teeth as they are proven to be wrong, dead wrong.

The Key Verse For Understanding Scripture and History

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Who is "thee"?

Nachash - http://screencast.com/t/haH3h8caK and http://screencast.com/t/MXJPv3MTjq8

Or Shining Enchanter.

Hebrew seed is zera Strong's # H2233

Red seed = zera

Blue seed = zera

Therefore both seeds or offspring, must be physical as no one argues that Eve's offspring was physical.

If Eve's offspring was physical, Nachash's (thee, thy seed)  must also be physical, or God's Word would have used a different word for seed for Nachash's seed.

The result of the seduction of Eve by the Enchanter was Cain. At the same time as Eve was seduced, ADam was not seduced, but was part of the transgression, that is he partook of the sexual sin - and the results from that union was Abel.

Being pregnant with two different embryos from two different men, although rare, is known as  superfecundation.

Notice it was Yahweh who put the enmity, or hatred, between the seedline of satan and the (Adamic) seedline of Eve.

This God given enmity between the two seedlines explains much of the Bible and history.

One can follow the conflict between the two seedlines throughout the Bible and throughout history.
