- The Four Corners of the Earth (biblehub.com)
The phrase “the four corners of the earth” is a biblical expression that appears in several passages of Scripture, often used to denote the entirety of the earth or the whole world. This expression is understood metaphorically, as the Bible frequently employs figurative language to convey spiritual truths and concepts. The phrase is not intended to suggest a literal, flat earth with physical corners, but rather to emphasize the universality and completeness of God’s creation and sovereignty.
- Four corners of the world (Wikipedia)
Several cosmological and mythological systems portray four corners of the world or four quarters of the world corresponding approximately to the four points of the compass (or the two solstices and two equinoxes). At the center may lie a sacred mountain, garden, world tree, or other beginning-point of creation. Often four rivers run to the four corners of the world, and water or irrigate the four quadrants of Earth.
