Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
What does world mean in the Bible?
The world: an attack upon God, a place built so that He could not enter and His Son could seem to stand apart from Him, and therefore the symbol of fear

Where world appears in the Bible
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
1 Chronicles 16:30
Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Christian Psychology · John 14:19
Christian Psychology
The world sees only bodies, and so it sees only what can be lost. What the eyes were made to find is the story of separation ending in death, and by that measure love disappears when the body does. But there is another kind of seeing that looks past the form to the changeless life within, and to that vision nothing is ever gone.
What lives in you is not the body that seems to come and go. It is the one Self that fear cannot end, and when the mind recognizes that life in another, it remembers the same life is its own.
- The world: the way of seeing that knows only bodies, and so knows only loss.

Esoteric · John 3:16
Esoteric
The world God loves is the flesh, the lower nature of a person, and the only begotten Son given into it is the Christ-power, the higher self born down into the body to redeem it. To believe in him is to trust and turn toward that inner light rather than the outer man. Whoever does so does not perish with the passing flesh but enters the deathless life already present within. The saving does not come from far away; it is the higher self descending into your own nature to lift it.
- World: the flesh, the lower nature of a person into which the higher is given
- Only begotten Son: the Christ-power, the higher self born down into the body to redeem it
