Age
Age
Excerpt
The NT, following on from earlier Jewish writings, speaks of the contrast between “the present age” (an “evil age,” Gal 1:4) and “the age(s) to come” when, in God’s judgment, wrongs will be righted, and his people will come into their full inheritance (Mk 10:30). There is a sense, however, in which it can be said that we are both living now in “the end of the ages” (1 Cor 10:11, rsv) and that we experience “the powers of the age to come” (Heb 6:5, rsv) and its life.
