He's not asking, he's dissertating in the form of a question.
Popular M.O. around here among "the smart people".
It's basically passive-aggressive click-bait.
Is dissertating a word?
If you don't know then we can include you out from the "smart people"...

It should be clear to all Christians (at least) that we are in the Church Age.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. (Matthew 24:14)
Glad you brought up Matt:

Col 1:23 if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister

Rom 10:18 But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; “THEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD.”

Looks like Paul is saying the conditions for "the end" were met during his ministry which confirms my dissertation in the opening post.:p

I'm in the OLD AGE time. Don't know what Age you guys are in. But I am certainly in the "twilight years" of my life. Funny thing is, I still feel 37 mentally, but when I try to get up..........my tired old worn out body reminds me of just how old I am.

The end times... so brace yourselves.

The Harvest will be ripe and the Plougher will reap in good time.

That's a good way to misunderstand Scripture.

And if what you say is true, we should already be living in "the dispensation of the fulness of times".

but remember according to these false teachers we already are living in that time. they think this is the new heaven and new earth. delusion.

It's not something to get a hang of quickly, it will take time and cross referencing in with scripture to get a full understanding.

If you are a book type of person I would recommend his book "Who is this Babylon" available from his website or amazon, Kindle versions availabe for some is book.

Don K. Preston is very well versed on Covenant Eschatology (Full Preterism), he has a few websites and has produced numerous youtube vids in small 6-10 minutes session which he calls Morning Musings:

We are in the age following the first advent of christ. Some call it the church age,
we are still in the age of gentile kingdoms, or the age of man.

we are awaiting the end of this age, and the return of Christ, to put an end to the age of men (re Daniels kingdoms)

Why do you follow astrology? Why do you follow a Satanic calendar?
Now now, don't jump to conclusions
Did you actually read anything in the article?
There is enough truth in it equal to anything we know that's going on in the news

The Jews of Jesus time only really considered the "present" age in which they were living and the "age to come" which for them was the age of Messiah, which is the biblical age we are currently in.

I know some still think its the age of URanus.

I did read enough to know its not Word. 99% truth and 1% lie equals 100% lie.

Even if what you are saying is true, do you listen to the news?
Do you take a political stand on anything?
That turns out to be a 100% lie too.
How do you live inside the Bible without also living in the world?
The most crucial statements of the article were made at the end, and that's where it becomes relevant to this OP.
But you have chosen to stick your head in the ground like an ostrich.
