14. THE CONCEPT OF AGES
(Mat 12:32) And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
(Mat 13:39) and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels.
(Mat 13:40) Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. (Mat 13:49) So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous,
(Mat 24:3) As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?"
(Mat 28:20) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
(Mar 10:30) who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.
(Luk 18:30) who will not receive manifold more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."
(Luk 20:34-35) And Jesus said to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
(1Co 2:6) Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. (1Co 2:8) None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
(Eph 1:21) far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come;
(Heb 6:5) and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
(Heb 9:9) (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,
(Rom 16:25) Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages
(1Co 2:7) But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.
(1Co 10:11) Now these things happened to them as a warning, but they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come.
(Eph 2:7) that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
(Eph 3:9) and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things;
(Col 1:26) the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now made manifest to his saints.
(1Ti 1:17) To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. (2TI 1:9) who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not in virtue of our works but in virtue of his own purpose and the grace which he gave us in Christ Jesus ages ago,
(Tit 1:2) in hope of eternal life which God, who never lies, promised ages ago
