World

An appointed or harmonious arrangement, a constitution, order or government. "My kingdom is not of this world", meaning Jesus, the anointed king of Judea, His government had no treaties, contracts or covenants with Rome; therefore Rome or its proconsul had no in persona jurisdiction to put Jesus on trial. Pontius Pilate agreed and washed his hands of the matter, basically dismissing the case.
