14. THE CONCEPT OF AGES
(Isa 64:4) For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
(1Co 2:9) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
At the end of this age only a few enters the new age where Jesus is King. But at the end of the AGES Jesus makes ALL THINGS NEW. This is the cycle of ages, deluges in between each age, seperation and judgment in between the ages and at the end of one kalpa everything returns to the original state of oneness in consonance with God. Will that state remain eternally. Yes. If man is made into a machine. If we still have free will - the Sons of God will still make wrong choices as Lucifer the Angel did. The Maha Kalpa may repeat itself. But that depends on those who are in that age and is not revealed to us. This is because we should not find an excuse for the salvificatory work required of man here and now. "Secret things belong to the Lord out God, but the things that are revealed belongs to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law" Deu 29:29
but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deu 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God;
sin
Present Age ALL MANKIND
Second Death

In ADAM
"Wages of sin

Unite

Death is God's Mercy
on sinners
Age to come
In
Christ
Never Die
I have presented the Surya Siddhanta in Christian terms. The Theology of Avatara in Vaishnavism is also parallel to the way God talk to the world.
