CHAPTER XXI.
                      Flan of the Aions (Ages).
            The following diagram is intended to illustrate the chro-
          nological arrangement of the dispensations and some of
          the principal events of Bible History.
            The division of time into days, months and years,  is
          fixed by the movements of the earth and moon.  The term
          century is not used in the Scriptures, but the next greater
          measure of time above the year (Sabbatic year and Jubilee
          year)  is the Greek term AION or English EON, from which
          comes our word age.  This word is used 124 times in the
          New Testament and is translated by eight different English
          words, viz: "WORLD" 35 times.
