AGE
A period of time characterized by a certain stage of development of God's grand scheme of
redemption (aion) (Ephesians 2:7; 3:5).

AGE
we have the plural as the translation of aion, properly "duration," "the course or flow of time," "an
age or period of the world..."

AGE
An era or specified period of time during which certain related events come to pass. As used in the
New Testament, age generally refers to the present era, as opposed to the future age. According to
the apostle Paul, Satan is "the god of this age" (2 Corinthians 4:4). But the age to come will belong
to Jesus Christ and His rule of justice and righteousness (Hebrews 6:5).

Although one of the common features of Bible study software are the commentaries, and PC Study
Bible comes with a number of them, I rarely refer to them in the course of my research. In general

provides a quick method to find other passages of Scripture on a specific subject.

Although I use PC Study Bible as my software of choice, it is not necessarily the best program
available. Other programs may be more suitable to an individual depending on their specific needs
and their budget. Two highly regarded programs are Accordance, which was originally developed
for the Apple Macintosh, and Bibleworks which was developed for Microsoft operating systems.
Accordance has recently come out with a native version of their software that runs on Windows, and
BibleWorks can be run on Macintosh computers by using an emulator. Both are reportedly excellent
products offering full-featured suites that are priced around $350 dollars. The price will be higher
or lower depending upon which level of the product one chooses.

One of the recent additions to BibleWorks 9 is their BibleWorks Manuscript Project. Following is
