And 'World' in Hebrew, is 'tay-bale' ', meaning the world viewed as being inhabited, as in Job 18:18; Psalm 9:8.
Both the above references, and many more, show the exact Hebrew words that depict the intended meaning of the writer.
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead) that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep (dead)
THE RAPTURE OF BELIEVERS-
"Caught Up In The Clouds To Jesus"
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP together with them IN THE CLOUDS to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
Mishael, Blessed Christmas
But, I know that he is in GOD's hands, and that GOD will lead the doctor's in the right direct in finding a cure, and healing him, I pray that GOD will touch him in a special way.
Thanks for all of your prayers.

2 Peter 1, verse 20 and 21
"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
2 Timothy 3:16
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
According to Jewish marriage traditions: after the betrothal when we accept Jesus as Savior and Lord, there's a period of time when the details of the marriage is worked out. The grooms father will announce it when all is ready in preparations. The Groom builds an addition onto his fathers house for he and the Bride to return to after the wedding ceremony.
In our part of this we are to wait, with wedding dress and oil. To WATCH and be READY to go with Him as soon as He appears. All born again believers are invited to this event. It's a covenant between His (Bride) Church and Himself.
The dead in Christ will awake and be changed into their resurrection bodies. Their soul and spirit will be restored to them in the CLOUDS. Their caskets will be left open: the cremated, those lost at "sea", or bodies never recovered, burned, whatever state of the remains: will be restored in the blink of an eye.
Then those alive on earth will rise to join them in their resurrection bodies also. We will join our Bridegroom and proceed to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb of God.
Jesus has invited everybody on earth to experience the joy of salvation and be there with Him. I don't believe we will see what happens on earth after billions of people disappear in that eye blink.
I do believe that the Election of the Gentiles will pass immediately to the Jews that are left on earth. Jews must be accept salvation just as we did. Some are saved Now and will go with Jesus. The Antichrist will be revealed at this time. 144,000 Sealed by God, Jewish evangelists will begin their ministry to the remaining Jewish people and even those LEFT BEHIND gentile unbelievers.
Don't miss out on this! It's been in the Bible for 6000 years. You are invited. Accept It. Come to Jesus Now. Do Not procrastinate.
Mishael
This one I have wondered about and that is that Jesus is going to meet us in the air to judge us so how can he do that when there are millions or billions of people to judge? How could you have that much time? One thing is I know Jesus can do anything with a blink of a eye. How will he be able to talk to that many people? I think I must keep in mind that we may all be spirits not human like? Man what a day that will be, can you just think what it would be like talking to Jesus face to face! One thing I know for sure without a doubt it will be well worth it my friends!!
Continents colliding with each other etc
I don't disagree with the science best guesses you mentioned as to what happened on the early earth...but they are guesses since they were not present to observe when these events took place...for me, like you , I believe that God could have translated the kangaroo from Australia to and from the ark...a supernatural event....and my references were about other translations that scripture describes supernatural events of people being translated over distances that would be described as impossible to science
I'm just saying, trying to give a natural scientific explanation for a
supernatural event is not possible....and this is where Science can only guess how this happens naturally....I 'm. not saying your descriptions are in error....I'm trying to show that other scriptures describe supernatural translations of people
over great distances demonstrates another way of honouring God 's Word and explaining how the kangaroo and other animals could have been moved over such great distances....God scattered them based on HIS plan.
So searching for migration routes is an attempt to explain a supernatural event using natural means....is impossible
and this honoursHIS WORD and glorifies the GODHEAD.....which both of us intend
Hope this helps show we are on the same page in this God honouring attempt to understandHIM and HIS ways

I've thought about that question before, not just how did animals get to their respective geographic regions, but people too. It's my opinion that the Tower of Babel was a significant event. Languages were created and people were scattered. I believe races and cultures and certain geography were allocated to each people group at the same time. For example, Chinese to China, Indians to India, etc. So, did they all get on boats and float around to their destination, or did they teleport? I believe they either they were instantly placed there or they walked. How would they walk with oceans? I think it's possible that the continents were all in one land mass at that time. South America kinda looks like it could fit into Africa, etc. So, I think its conceivable that this connected land mass explains how animals exited the ark and got to their respective climates, and that the Tower of Babel could have been a scattering of land masses and people. Again this is only my theory and opinion.
Our finite minds are vastly unable to take ourselves off the throne and simply ask God how he did things. Have you read the individual reference notes to backup scriptures on events?
Deep study is tiresome, takes time, involves back and forth reading, spiral notebooks lots of notes: kinda like chicken or the egg...which verse came first. It's worth every hour of effort.
Science has proved that continents moved at one time. Slammed into other continents. There have been islands of land that moved upon the ocean. The info may be on Google?
I find it interesting, worth a look, but I DO NOT allow it to remove God from what the science suggests. God is powerful enough to transport animals to the Ark, all by Himself. The Ark was exactly large enough for them; meat eaters drank milk; grains, greens, eggs were provided for others. Perfect planning.
I find it almost humorous how people try to disprove Gods abilities.
Our futures depend upon Gods abilities and His purpose concerning us humans. He's told us what happens first. Worry is the opposite of faith.
