Mathew 24: 3 and Mathew 28:20 End of the world, OR end of the age?

Two distinct verses. One, as a question from the disciples and one as a statement from Jesus.

The end of the age and the end of the world convey 2 entirely different meanings.

Following is a list (rather long) from Bible Hub on each verse plus the addition of the Catholic online Bible

Which side of the fence do you fall on? There is no right or wrong answer but to me one , end of the age, says basically that once the time has ended for a specific age in time, possibly??? (IDK) there would be another age... or say period for another purpose leading to our final judgement and then the end.

(EXAMPLE: If when the disciples asked about the end of the age, and Jesus was referring to the destruction of the temple, which came and went... and now here WE are ...... or If they said end of the world and Jesus talked of the destruction of the temple... we still are here cause the world did not end. ( I find this confusing)

Here I have posted the verses from Biblehub for you to compare: (sorry it is so long)

The same things (or significantly overlapping each other), probably.

The end of their age meant the end of their world. And vice versa.

Click to expand...

You may well be right. Probably are, knowing that translators will do so by their own understanding , if not challenged.

Matt 24:3
KJV says end of the world and NKJV says End of the age. Of course King James had all those men working on his version. I think there were 14? I could be misremembering. (NOT my favorite translations... either of them)

Matt 28:20
KJ has end of the world, and NKJ has end of the age.

Greek/English interlinear translates the two verses as

24:3 And what is the sign of your coming and the consummation of the age

20:20 And behold I with you am all the days until the completion of the age

Looking into the biblical meaning of conssumation it says...The word, meaning destruction, completion, or failing
so that certainly is on par with Jesus' completion of the age.

So it is certain, at least the the interlinear shows completion to be fact. And yes, that is the same as end of...

LOL... But still looking for that definitive explanation of age v. world.

If I find it I will be back.....

If not, thanks for replying

Try the context of Hebrews 9:26, which is self-explanatory.

"...but now once in the consummation of the ages" (PLURAL ages), hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." This was Christ's crucifixion taking place "in the consummation of the AGES" (aionon). The KJV translates it as "the end of the world", but since the world as a planet did not come to an end after Christ's crucifixion, the meaning of "aionon" instead has to refer chronologically to the end of a group of AGES (plural) in history.

Additionally, there were at least two more ages (and more) following the end of the plural ages at Christ's crucifixion. We find this fact in Ephesians 2:6-7. "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the AGES to come (aiosin) he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." This shows multiple ages occurring in the world following the age which included Christ's crucifixion.

Another verse illustrating those multiple ages for humanity following Christ's crucifixion and the establishment of the NC church is Ephesians 3:21. "Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout ALL ages, world without end." The word "ALL" indicates at least three ages of the church. If it was only two ages of history under consideration, Paul would have said "BOTH ages", or "THE age" if it was only one age.

Taking all these texts into consideration together, scripture speaks of at least FIVE ages for humanity, with room for more ages than that in total. I believe the patterns of scripture lay out a design of a total of seven ages of a thousand years each for fallen humanity before the final judgment; a reflection of the pattern of seven days of creation week. I believe Christ was crucified towards the end of the fourth millennial age, with three more millennial ages for the church to follow that before the final judgment of mankind.

Thank you 3 Resurrections,

A different view and one that makes perfect sense. Kind of

I don't as I have said many times before hold to much of King Jimmy's bible.

I had been tryiong to wrap my mind around ages meaning a specific or suggested length of time but you wrapped it up nicely and concisely. If we consider 1000 years being an age. (I'll check that further)

I had been letting my mind think in more specifics as divisions of what the bible shows... i.e. Creation, then the Exodus account etc...where each had its own specific importance to us...

LOL... I would do a happy dance if there was a meme to show that... New ideas make me soooo happy

Thanks again

Your thoughts are heading in the right direction for this...

Try subdividing history into those 7 millennial ages with each of those millennial ages having an over-riding theme during that thousand years that mimics God's creative acts on each day of creation week. If you need me to expand on how that reflection is compared, I'll take that a step further with my thoughts on it.

Adam provided the theme of the first millennium
Noah provided the theme of the second millennium
Abraham provided the theme of the third millennium
King Solomon provided the theme of the fourth millennium
Paul the Apostle's work among the nations provided the theme of the fifth millennium
The sixth millennium's theme has reflected God's pattern of a double blessing for the sixth day to prepare for a day of rest
The seventh millennium will be composed of a fallow period for the world's activity, preparing them for the final judgment and the eternal state of...
The eighth age with the entire church family finally united in God's presence.

By the way, you might also add to the above verses about multiple ages the text of 1 Corinthians 10:11 (NKJV) "Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends (PLURAL) of the ages (aionon - PLURAL) have come." Paul here was stating that the culminating points of multiple ages as a group were then coming to an end for his readers. I maintain that all those multiple ages in which Satan had been able to directly influence humanity and its kingdoms was coming to an end with the destruction of the demonic realm in this world. The ages to come for Paul's immediate audience would not have the noxious presence of Satan or his demons to contend with anymore, because God was going to slay them all by the close of the AD 70 era.

So that set me into looking further and I found more then I thought I would because it seems "everyone" has an opinion... with one definitive conclusion in that King James men were wrong as was the NLT, Contemporary English Vesrion, English Revised, Douay-Rheims Bible, GOD'S WORD® Translation, Webster's Bible Translation to name a few.

Some of what I found I will post below.

Please understand that I understand that you will not be inline with all, if any... but know that NEITHER am I.

Wikipedia says
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Ages_of_the_World

The Six Ages of the World (Latin: sex aetates mundi), also rarely Seven Ages of the World (Latin: septem aetates mundi), is a Christian historical periodization first written about by Augustine of Hippo circa AD 400.[1]

It is based upon Christian religious events, from the creation of Adam to the events of Revelation.

The six ages of history, with each age (Latin: aetas) lasting approximately 1,000 years, were widely believed and in use throughout the Middle Ages, and until the Enlightenment, the writing of history was mostly the filling out of all or some part of this outline.

The outline accounts for Seven Ages, just as there are seven days of the week, with the Seventh Age being eternal rest after the Final Judgement and End Times, just as the seventh day of the week is reserved for rest.[2]

It was normally called the Six Ages of the World because in Augustine's schema they were the ages of the world, of history, while the Seventh Age was not of this world but, as Bede later elaborated, ran parallel to the six ages of the world. Augustine's presentation deliberately counters chiliastic and millennial ideas that the Seventh Age, World to Come, would come after the sixth.[3]

The Six Ages, as formulated by Augustine of Hippo, are defined in De catechizandis rudibus (On the catechizing of the uninstructed), Chapter 22:

• The First Age "is from the beginning of the human race, that is, from Adam, who was the first man that was made, down to Noah, who constructed the ark at the time of the flood", i.e. the Antediluvian period.
• The Second Age "extends from that period on to Abraham, who was called the father indeed of all nations".
• The Third Age "extends from Abraham on to David the king".
• The Fourth Age is "from David on to that captivity whereby the people of God passed over into Babylonia".
• The Fifth Age is "from that transmigration down to the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ"
• The Sixth Age: "With His [Jesus Christ's] coming the sixth age has entered on its process."

The Ages reflect the seven days of creation, of which the last day is the rest of Sabbath, illustrating the human journey to find eternal rest with God, a common Christian belief.

THERE IS MORE INTERESTING COPY TO READ but I am only posting this amount as a comparison of what people believe.
With the addition of this fascinating tidbit from the Wiki article.

While Augustine was the first to write of the Six Ages, early Christians prior to Augustine found no end of evidence in the Jewish traditions of the Old Testament, and initially set the date for the End of the World at the year 500. Hippolytus said that the measurements of the Ark of the Covenant added up to five and one-half cubits, meaning five and a half thousand years. Since Jesus had been born in the "sixth hour", or halfway through a day (or, five hundred years into an Age), and since five kingdoms (five thousand years) had already fallen according to Revelation, plus the half day of Jesus (the body of Jesus replacing the Ark of the Jews), it meant that five-thousand five-hundred years had already passed when Jesus was born and another 500 years would mark the end of the world. An alternative scheme had set the date to the year 202, but when this date passed without event, people expected the end in the year 500.

NOW
Bible Hub reports this Lutheran idea...

https://biblehub.com/library/gerberding/the_way_of_salvation_in_the_lutheran_church/chapter_vii_ages_and_periods.htm
Bible history is commonly divided into the following ages or periods according to the purpose to be served or the minuteness of the study to be taken.
Seven Ages.
1. The Adamic Age. Gen.1-8-From the creation to the flood.
2. The Noachian Age, Gen.9-11-From the flood to the call of Abraham.
3. The Abrahamic Age, Gen.12-Ex.19-From the call of Abraham to the giving of the law.
4. The Mosaic Age, Ex.20-1 Sam.31-From the giving of the Law to the reign of David.
5. The Davidic Age.2 Sam.1-2 Kings 25-From David's ascension to the throne to the restoration.
6. The Ezraitic Age. Ezra-Mal.-From the restoration to the birth of Christ.
7. The Christian Age. Matt-Rev.-From the birth to the second coming of Christ.
They also include 15 Periods, and 21 shorter periods (see link)
Of interest in their 15 periods is 13-15
13. The Period Between the Testaments. From the end of the Old Testament to the Birth of Christ-no scripture. Time covered, B. C.445 minus 4 equal 441 years.
14. The Period of the Life of Christ. From the birth of Jesus to the ascension. Matt.-John. Time covered, B. C.4 minus A. D.30 equal 34 years.
15. The Period of the Church after the Ascension. From the ascension to the second coming, Acts-Rev. Time covered A. D.34 to the end of the age.

The Bible is a book that speaks about ages, and in this chapter, we will show you that there are seven distinct ages referred to in the Bible. All that is written from Genesis to Revelation is related to one or more of these ages. Everything that God has done, is doing and will do must be understood in the context of the ages, because God has a specific purpose for each age. It is essential to understand that God’s Plan of Universal Reconciliation, which culminates in the creation of the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth, is being worked out in ages by and through His Son Jesus Christ.
There are Seven Biblical Ages clearly stated in the Bible. In order to identify these Ages, we need to first clearly understand what a biblical Age is, as revealed in the Bible.
‘A Biblical Age is a long period of time which begins and ends with God’s supernatural and dramatic intervention on earth, impacting the whole world in a major and far-reaching way, which completely changes the course of the history of the world. However, the Seventh Eternal Age differs in that it begins but it has no end. It is the Age without end.’
The Seven Ages, as revealed in the Bible, are identified under the following headings:

1. The Pre-Adamic Age
2. The Adamic Age
3. The Age of Israel under the Old Covenant of the Law
4. The Age of the Church under the New Covenant of Grace
5. The Millennial Age of the Kingdom of God
6. The Great White Throne Judgement Age
7. The Eternal Age of the Kingdom of God
8. The Pre-Adamic Age

So many ideas... and these are not all. And I could not post as much as I wanted from the links... especially the third because it got too long.
So I shall stop... for now... and trust those who are interested will read the complete links.... especiall the last one.

I was aware of Augustine's thoughts on this philosophy of history, but he doesn't seem to have understood that creation week consisted of seven days total before another week began.

Click to expand...

Actually he might have been spot on.

If considering Genesis 1 all creation was completed by the 7th day (period)

We do not even entertain the thought of a 7th Sabbath rest until the next chapter.

Augustine... accordingly his list states...

• The Sixth Age: "With His [Jesus Christ's] coming the sixth age has entered on its process."

While vague in itself stated this way, allowing for the reader to fill in the prodess to suit themselves I would not be surprised to find someone likebnning Jesus' coming to the coming of man on the 6th day in Gen 1. You see...
vaguestatement allow anything to be promoted... NO I DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WROTE!!!!

Furthered by "The Ages reflect the seven days of creation, of which the last day is the rest of Sabbath, illustrating the human journey to find eternal rest with God, a common Christian belief."

Each age has a limit to it. When we enter into the 7th day of eternity rest there will not be a time limit.

I find no problem with only likening things to the first 6 days of creation. Those are the 6 periods that should be in consideration.

I read in one of the things where someone suggested the 7th day of creation is likened to the 7th age, and it actually said the 7th age will be of rest.... AND LAST 1000 years. And I wanted to scream.... what about after that???

3 Resurrections said:

Well, after a thousand years of a 7th age's Sabbath-rest imposed on this planet, the ages of eternity will begin. A Sabbath period is always characterized as a kind of fallow period when productive human activity is curtailed in order to quiet our distractions and prepare us for fellowship with our Creator, for the benefit of mankind. Even the ground was allowed to rest and recuperate for revived production the following year after a Sabbath year of lying fallow without cultivation.

This type of fallow Sabbath period does not characterize our state in eternity. "His servants shall serve Him" throughout the ages of eternity following the 7th millennium, each according to their gifts.

Christ came into this world toward the end of the fourth millennium (the Rev. 20 one); "at the consummation of the ages". I think Augustine missed the boat on this one. A week doesn't end after six days; it ends after seven days.

Click to expand...

Okay,

I am not defending Augustine's presentation ( content is another matter) but consider, please, if one considers the 6 ages.... (Those time periods often references as 1000 years each) of 6 ages of completion before the millennium rest... then the 6 ages mentioned are all that is needed .

That is what is covered in creation Week (or better said creation periods)

We are not given specifics on the Sabbath rest. Therefore we need not have specifics on the 7th age because all the people who report this kind of stuff or comment relate it to the 6 creation periods.

Not saying they are wrong, because all things GOD of importance have a numerical importance.

I do know that I find it almost comical that every sing one of them never has hinted of the pre-historic ages. YES! I
am aware that there is only the word of the quasi-scientists for info on that.... But not a hint???

Anyway.... How about your explanation of ages (plural) for eternity?

And if you feel that the times of the ages will ever cease?
