western world

[pnkpanther]

I'm asking if there is an explanation on this,

why isnt western world mentioned in the Bible?

Why did God only worry about spreading the word in such a specific region, leaving majority of the world as godless heathens?

and if I recall, the bible has a description of the world that implies the world is flat and you can see it all from a mountain top, but am going on memory.

The Bible absolutely does not state that the world is flat. That's a myth. As a matter of fact, the Bible refers in the book of Job to the "circle of the world" where the word "circle" is more properly translated "sphere."

As far as the western world, I'm not sure it isn't referred to. All directions in the Bible are referenced to/from Israel and it talks about people/land in all directions.

Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

I think this was verse i was reffering too

A more proper translation of the word would be "quadrants" rather than "corners".

Based on who's translation? Someone that realizes "corners" could mean flat Earth and doesn't want Christianity to look primitive? Or an actual person that knows what the original writings mean?

According to the Book of Mormon (which, I've heard, is another testament of Jesus Christ), Jesus appeared in North America after his resurrection and preached to the Native Americans.

I wonder what happened to his ministries by 1492?

Translations and Transcriptions, but that's bound to happen when roughly 90% of the population is illiterate. The ability to sign ones name constituting literacy doesn't help with those numbers either.

But trust that of the thousands of variations lying around of the different scriptures, the correct Word prevailed.
