World Time and population statistics | Weltzeit und Bevölkerungsstatistik | Le temps du monde et les statistiques de la population | El tiempo del mundo y las estadísticas de población | Мировое время и демографической статистики | 世界時間和人口統計 | ワールドタイムや人口統計Coordinated Universal Time (French: Temps universel coordonné), abbreviated to UTC, is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time at 0° longitude; it does not observe daylight saving time. It is one of several closely related successors to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For most purposes, UTC is considered interchangeable with GMT, but GMT is no longer precisely defined by the scientific community.

Therefore said He unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest. Luke 10:2
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. John 4:35
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20a
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15b
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 1 John 4:14

As of January 1, 2017. For most up-to-date estimate, see U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. and World Population Clock.
The United Nations Population Division estimates that in 1 AD, there were 300 million people in the world; in 1250, 400 million; in 1500, 500 million. According to UN estimates, the world population reached 1 billion in 1804; rose to 2 billion 123 years later, in 1927; to 3 billion 33 years after that, in 1960; to 4 billion in 1974; to 5 billion in 1987; to 6 billion in 1999; and to 7 billion in 2011. The U. S. Census Bureau put the world population in mid-2015 at about 7.3 billion. It projects that the population will reach 8 billon by 2025.
"To give a point of reference for the magnitude of one billion, it would require forty thousand trips around the world to equal one billion miles."

*2016 estimates by Demographia.com which defines an urban area (urbanized area agglomeration or urban centre) as a continuously built up landmass of urban development containing a high population density, without regard for administrative boundaries (i.e. municipality, city or commune) or a labor market (i.e. metropolitan area). Population figures for the world's largest cities differ from one source to another because of the different concepts used (i.e. urban areas, urban agglomerations, metropolitan areas, etc.)
