Is it the ‘end of the world?’ or ‘the end of the age?’

[10-22-27]

I admit there are things written in Scripture that are hard to understand. What I do is set aside whatever it is I’m having difficulty understanding; I’ll come back to it later. What I do not do is blame the Bible, especially the K.J.B., for my lack of understanding.

This post is concerned with Matthew 24:3: “The disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us, ---- what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

At this time, the disciples had little knowledge of what lay ahead, even though they had been with the Lord for three + years. They were under the impression that Jesus was going to set up a new kingdom soon, very soon.

Mark tells us in Mark 9:32, which was pretty late in Jesus’ ministry, that the disciples should have understood the things Jesus was teaching, but “They (the disciples) understood not that saying and were afraid to ask.”

What saying were they afraid of? Verse 31, Jesus said to them, “The Son of man (Jesus) is delivered into the hand of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.” The words of Jesus had gone way over the disciples’ heads; they didn’t get it.

So, what did the disciples mean by “end of the world.” I suppose they expected a new creation, with a new King ruling in a new kingdom.

Question: Did the K.J.B. make an error when they put ‘world’ instead of age? Matthew uses the word “World” metonymically. Metonymically, means the word (world) is associated with something else and refers to that thing; in this case, it would be the creation. Put another way, the question would be, “When shall be the end of this creation?”

Hebrews 11:3, “Through faith, we understand that the worlds (this creation) were framed by the word of God,”

Matthew 13:40, “As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world (this creation).”

Early in Jesus ministry, he told the disciples,

Matthew 12:32, Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, “neither in this world, neither in the world to come.” Here, Jesus plants a seed that a new world (creation) is coming.

He also told them, in Matthew 13:39, The harvest will be at “the end of the world;”

Verse 40, The tare will be gathered and burned at “the end of this world.”

In Revelation 21:1, John sees a “New heaven and a new earth: the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.”

The K.J.B. has it right: there will be an end to this world.

 

[Omegatime]

The earth will still be here but not very recognizable.

There will be survivors at end of the Tribulation of the tares.

The end of the age is correct IMO.

Wheat were reaped at Rev 14:14-15

Tares enter the vial and Bowl judgments

 

[Magenta]

Will the heavens and earth not pass away at the end of this age?
To be replaced with a new heavens and earth?

There is the theory that it means the end of the local New Testament church age. When the Holy Spirit leaves the earth as the Comforter before further events

well it's always a good practice to seak advice but i would start with asking God.

God does not mind in the slightest with any concern you have, if you ask on a basis that you need his wisdom for any question you have.

Of course with God he will give his wisdom freely.

His wisdom is always right that you can trust.

But in the end God also knows your heart and he will give his wisdom freely if he knows your ready to.

What else does being ready mean.

Are you pleased with God

Is God pleased with you.

 

[Thunderrr-mental]

@10-22-27 I'm asking you politely now.

Coud you stop calling the KJV the KGB.

KJV stands for king James version

KJB stands for king James bible.

It's is not called the king James bible.

It is called the king James version

Could you do as I ask.

The correct name for the KJB is

The holy bible king James version.

Do you think you could stop it now.

Or are you wanting to insult me further

I ask you this because you said to me there would be many more insults to come.

Now can we stop playing this game.

Insulting people to get a response is child's play.




Are you pleased with God yes or no

 

[Nehemiah6]

This post is concerned with Matthew 24:3: “The disciples came to him privately, saying, tell us, ---- what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”

In order to use "world" instead of "age" for aion the translators may have gone to Matthew 25:46, which is in fact connected with the end of the world (Rev 20:15; 21:1). And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.... And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

But if we go only by what is in chapter 24, then "end of the age" is applicable.

 

[Artios1]

So, what did the disciples mean by “end of the world.” I suppose they expected a new creation, with a new King ruling in a new kingdom.

Something that might help along with aion …are the two words used for END.

Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end = (sunteleia)

sunteleia means moving towards the final point. (Used 6X in NT )



Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end = (telos) is not yet.

telos (in its respective context) is the final end, when death is destroyed, and all things are subdued to God. (used 42x in NT

I'm going to give His wisdom then you can ask him if its right.

You can also search the bible.

The gift.

Where was you when the foundations of the earth was layed.

The challenge

Find out if the foundations of the earth and the earth our a separate creation.

Realisation

If you find the answer.

Will you realise the foundations are eternal .

Be blessed

The K.J.B. has it right: there will be an end to this world.

I don't think we can determine God's plan for us by nit picking at scripture, but by looking at our understanding of basic scripture.

The glaring age of our 2,000 years since Christ was crucified has to do with our views of the Jews, and of the OT. We are in the age of the gentiles, and God's plan for our world is to bring the gentiles to Him.

If you study world history as it applies to the Jews and gentiles, it makes for a sorry tale. There was a time when many "Christians: thought it was following God to murder Jews. Our most holy day, our Christman, has little to do with salvation, but God's plan for us has always centered on our salvation.

I think we are coming to the end of that age, and accepting God the Father and true God, instead of making Christ the only true God. The first verse of the gospel f John tells us the "in the BEGINNING was the word?, and we know that Christ is the word. It was the first act of our Father after sin brought us death to give a way of life. Christ was the fulfillment of that act of the Father, the sacrificial system was God's way of giving life to man through forgiveness of sin.

There are indications of a new age. The Jews are returning to Israel. There are new churches called messianic synagogues, and after 2,000 years of being hidden the Dead Sea Scrolls were found giving us ancient history.

This might help you... Look up the Scriptures your asking about but when you do the search add the word "interlinear" after each Scripture you search for...

Example "Matthew 24:3 interlinear",,, hit search... https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/24-3.htm
Example "Matthew 12:32 interlinear",,, hit search... https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/12-32.htm
Example "Matthew 13:40 interlinear",,, hit search... https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/13-40.htm

Does it say world or aeon in the Greek text?

The Greek word for "world" in Matt 24v3 is "aioonos" ("aion" Strongs NT: 165) and literally means "an age," that is a period of time of significant character...It is a portion of time during which God is accomplishing some purpose...

[notmyown]

Matthew uses the word “World” metonymically.

Matthew used the word αἰῶνος (aiōnos). the King James translators used world.
best not to confuse the two, metonym notwithstanding.

 

[Obedience]

So it is the end of one period and the beginning of another.There is nothing wrong with this. But I think a period may also include the end of this world.

 

[10-22-27]

I have no problem with any of the posts.

First, I went to the Strongs concordance, the word used for (world-age) is (165) aion. It reads "it's from the same Greek as 104 (aei) prop. as age; by extension, perpetuity (also past) by implication (the world). Specifically Jewish a Messianic period (present or future: age, course, eternal (for) ever (more) (beginning of, while the world) (began, without end)

Normally I use the Strongs for number reference only, then go to an 1836 Lexicon Greek to English I own. It reads concerning the word "World," and concerning the verse in question, "Metonymically it speaks of the world itself, as an object of creation and existence. Hebrews 11:3, Matthew 13:40, and 1 Timothy 3:16.

Thayer's Greek to English lexicon, concerning the verse in question. The end, or rather consummation of the age preceding Christ's return, with which will be connected the resurrection of the dead, the last judgment, the demolition of this world and its restoration to a more excellent condition.

I like "World," but if age means the same as world, (see above,) no problem. Thanks for all the posts, glad to see we have Christians that care. "The World needs us, especially now.

Revelation 21:1, John sees a “New heaven and a new EARTH: the first heaven and the first EARTH were passed away; and there was no more sea.”

 

[montana123]

It is not the end of the world except in the sense that this world's system, and rulership shall come to an end, for when Jesus delivers up the kingdom to the Father then He shall put down all rule, power, and authority.

After that the world will go on for 1000 years more and then heaven and earth shall pass away.

God said He will make a full end of all Gentile nations but will not make a full end of Israel although they will not be wholly unpunished which the kingdom on earth will be restored to Israel, and there will be no operating Gentile government, and Jesus will rule out of Jerusalem and rule the earth with His saints over one sixth of the world God spared at the battle of Armageddon.

What do you do with these scriptures??

16 Then every one that survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of booths. 17 And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain upon them. 18 And if the family of Egypt do not go up and present themselves, then upon them shall[e] come the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of booths. 19 This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the feast of booths.
