The Age to Come

In Judaism, all of time is divided into “this present age” and “the age to come.”¹Eph. 1:19-23 The Age to Come is the Messianic Age or “Kingdom of God” ²https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messianic_Age,³The age to come is the Millennial Age. Wuest’s Word Studies,  Hebrews 6:5.  The age to come will be a time of great peace (Isaiah 2:4, 11:6-9). There will be a great outpouring of the Spirit of God enabling miracles powers.⁴Wuest’s Word Studies,  Hebrews 6:5

Dr. Bob Utley says: “The Jews of the interbiblical period saw two ages: the current evil age of rebellion and sin (starting at Genesis 3) and the coming age of righteousness inaugurated by the coming of the Messiah in the power of the Spirit. The OT emphasizes the coming of the Messiah in judgment and power to establish the new age. However, it failed to see clearly the first coming of Jesus as (1) the “Suffering Servant” in Isaiah 53; (2) the humble One riding the colt of a donkey in Zec. 9:9; and (3) the pierced One of Zec. 12:10. From NT progressive revelation we know that God planned two comings of the Messiah. The period between the Incarnation (the first coming) and the second coming involves the overlapping of the two Jewish ages. This is designated in the NT by the phrase “last days.” We have been in this period for over 2000 years.” See Utley in E-Sword.
