There have been previous ages but the current is the most blessed. It has witnessed the birth of a messiah at its beginning. The way was prepared by Elijah, promised to prepare the way again for the coming age. When the times were fulfilled, the Word of God was sent to earth. The living waters, Christ, was to baptise an entire generation into righteousness;
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"(John 3:16)The coming age is an age of righteousness.
The first epistle of John puts a vivid description of Christ's spiritual predisposition. Everything that is part of God is spiritual in nature and thereby, alive. This part of God, His word, the same word by which He said "let there be," and it was, the same ten commandments and legal principles that He dictated on the mountain, and better yet, every inspired word of prophesy recorded down for the nations before He was even conceived by man. This was all Gods decree upon the earth of His son, and after the earth listening to this decree through His creation, His Laws, His prophesies and His symbolic drawing out of the children of Israel from Egypt, the earth finally conceived this powerful word in its womb, the womb of Mary, and wise she was for at the declaration of the message of conception by Angel Gabriel, she sealed it by saying"be it unto me according to your word," and pregnant, she was.
