earths ages?

[micah7:9]

When was the "1st earth age" and are we in the "2nd earth age?"  the reason I ask is I was again watching this bible teaching program and he says in 2Pet. 3 tells of the 1st earth age and the second and the third. any help? Thanks

Is these statements without merit?

The Scriptures speak of "ageS" in the past (Rom. 16:25, II Tim. 1:9, Titus 1:2, ). So that would equal at least 2 or more ages before our present age.
Rom 16:25  And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,
2Ti 1:9  who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
Tit 1:2  upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages,


The we have this "present evil age" (II Tim. 4:10, Titus 2:12, etc.) So that would equal 1 mone age.
2Ti 4:10  for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,
Tit 2:12  teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

Then we have "the on-coming ageS" (Eph. 2:7) and the "conclusion of the ageS" (Heb. 9:26). (Eph. 2:7). That would equal at least 2 or more future ages.
Eph 2:7  that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,
Heb 9:26  since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;


So now we are already up to a minimum of FIVE AGES.

Did you also click the link? There is some explanation and another chart. Very detailed.

It looks good. But it's complicated so maybe there is an error in it.... :dontknow:

The Scriptures speak of "ageS" in the past (Rom. 16:25, II Tim. 1:9, Titus 1:2, ). So that would equal at least 2 or more ages before our present age.

If the above picture is correct then there are 2 past ages.
Personnly I find that odd because I would think that another age starts at crucifixion.

Rom 16:25  And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,
2Ti 1:9  who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
Tit 1:2  upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages,


The we have this "present evil age" (II Tim. 4:10, Titus 2:12, etc.) So that would equal 1 mone age

The present age isn't complete yet .

2Ti 4:10  for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,
Tit 2:12  teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

Then we have "the on-coming ageS" (Eph. 2:7) and the "conclusion of the ageS" (Heb. 9:26). (Eph. 2:7). That would equal at least 2 or more future ages.

2 future eons. That makes a total of 5.[/quote]

Eph 2:7  that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,
Heb 9:26  since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;


So now we are already up to a minimum of FIVE AGES.

Hopefully exactly 5 ages. Otherwise the chart is not very useful.
I think we are very near the end of the present age.

Note this chart is only for believers in the gap theory.
There is an age/disruption before Adam

[micah7:9]

I look from this point...
Gen 1:1 Created by the Elohim were the heavens and the earth. (1st earth age)

Gen 1:2 Yet the earth became a chaos and vacant, (Second earth age)

Gen 1:2 .... Yet the spirit of the Elohim is vibrating over the surface of the water.
until Gen. 8:22 was (Third earth age);  

Gen.9:1 began and which is now (Fourth earth age)

Is there yet not at least another earth age? A new heaven and new EARTH?

Heb 9:26  since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested;

I like this translation better:

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

--Hebrews 9:26

The old order [ages] being the Law and this current order being Grace...We are just seeing the beginning of this now.

Yes I believe there is a future age of rule on this earth by Christ and his saints.

And, more ages after that.
