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

I believe it will be the End of the world as it currently is.. I do not believe that this world will be vaporized and a brand new world wil be created to replace it..

I agree! Happy New Year, stay safe.

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.”

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.

I would think God should be asked first most

The reasoning behind many looking so closely at age/world though I think is Matthew 12;32 https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/12-32.htm And so how can it be the end of the world where all judgement has past when Jesus is saying that in the age coming there would still be something that could be done that would not be forgiven?

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. Zech 14

I may not be making myself clear. Let me try again. The world itself will not disappear, it's the world as we know it now, this corrupt, cursed earth. Let's reflect on the days of Noah. God said, Genesis 6:6:7, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth;" Verse 13, "The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence --- I will destroy them with the earth."

It will be a new creation standing on this earth.

do you consider the earth as type of flesh,

Its a friendly question that's all

Still waiting but that's ok I think your worth the wait.

Do you believe in being liberal is my next question and what does being liberal mean to you.

Am I liberal! Had to think about that one. Am I generous, broad-minded, tolerant yes, my friends think so. A Democrat, No! To many aborted babies lying in coffins that should have had a life. Radical, No.

Hope that answers your question?
