Abstract

Reviews 233 One such clarification was the expansion of the traditional model of six world ages into eight ages, in which the seventh age runs parallel with the first six, while the eighth age will be one of eternal rest. This concept became crucial to Bede's eschatological thought, and he `mentioned the eight-age scheme so often that, in time, his expertise on such matters could hardly have been questioned by anybody who had regular access to his works' (p. 86). The book's eight chapters are arranged into three parts, covering the world ages framework discussed above, Bede's eschatological vision, and Bede's eschatological perspective. Bede's eschatological vision included a clear sequence of the end-time in which the first sign would be the conversion of the Jews, the second the persecution of Antichrist, and the third the death of Antichrist followed by a test of patience. Here Darby again proves that Bede modified his thoughts on the topic between his early Expositio Apocalypseos and later works, although Bede always maintained that only God knows the time of the end, and no Christian should dare to speculate. The contexts for Bede's eschatological writings include his relationship with the works of Gregory
