God Defines The World

Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

English “the world” emboldened in Romans 11:12 was translated from Greek masculine noun 2889 kosmos. English “world” in the New Testament has been translated from Greek noun 165 aion being an earth age, Greek noun 1093 ge being earth, Greek noun 2889 kosmos being the earth and its inhabitants, Greek verb 3195 mello being God’s plan for the future [if God is your grammatical subject]. Greek verb 3195 mello was translated into English “the world to come”. English “world” in the New Testament was also translated from Greek noun 3625 oikoumene which encompasses the inhabitants of earthly kingdoms as found in Luke 2:1, Luke 4:5, Acts 11:28, Acts 17:6, Acts 19:27, Acts 24:5, Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 16:14.  Greek noun 3625 oikoumene also encompasses the inhabitants of God’s kingdom, pursuant to God’s will and future process “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”. Greek noun 3625 oikoumene applies to God’s kingdom of heaven in Matthew 24:14, Acts 17:31, Romans 10:18, Hebrews 1:6, Hebrews 2:5 and Revelation 3:10.
