But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

- Ephesians 2:4-9 (KJV)

After the 1,000-year millennium and the Great White Throne Judgment, we have the Eternity, and the Eternity is a long, long time—it’s forEVER! IMG_5750.gif

And yet the bible speaks of other ages to come.

Hmm. If there is, great. If not, great. I'm sure whatever Yahweh has planned will be perfect. Why does it matter at this point? Does it have any bearing on salvation?

Do you just set around and come up with these strange ideas or are you listing to others and repeating them?

No, talking about AGES. Even in heaven there will be future ages.
Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,

that there should be time no longer.

What ages for there is no time when the saints are at the New Jerusalem but everything goes on the same with no changes, and there is no period to period.

There is no such thing as time for it is not a universal principle, but it is a made up measurement that only applies to this creation to measure events happening.

And the sun is the measuring tool that measures a day, and we break it down to hours, minutes, and seconds, and build it up to weeks, months, and years.

Before God created anything there is no time for nothing is on a schedule but all things go on the same with no changes, and nothing is different to be scheduled.

And when the saints are at the New Jerusalem there is no time for it is the same as before the creation.

Time only applies to the creation, and not before it, and not after it.

Time is not a universal principle.

There is also no such thing as space for God is an omnipresent Spirit that fills all space so there is no empty area.

That is in Rev 10.....there are a whole series of events in the rest of Revelation. There's the 1000 year reign of Christ.

Along that line. What if GOD never established marriage? Would having sex still be a sin? If GOD had never said, "Thou shall not steal", would it still be a sin to steal? It's only a sin when GOD sets a boundary. There is no marriage, in heaven, so the boundary is gone.

2 Pet 3:5-13
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
[This is the 1st earth age, NOT the flood of Noah's time! Jer 4:23-27) which speaks of this same event: " I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled." (Jer 4:25) ]
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
[This is the 2nd earth age]
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (KJV)
[This is the 3rd earth age, commonly called Heaven]

After Jesus' time, there is the church age, the day of the lord, and the millennium. Those are ages after the time of Jesus. After those 3 subsequent ages, all the people of God will transition to the eternal state (Rev 21-22).
