Can you also explain it to the people that are confused.

2 Peter 3:5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. 8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
There was the first age before the flood. Then there is this present age and there will be a new age when Christ comes again.

I've read the New Testament extensively and I know of no such thing. Probably a phrase someone adopted to describe a particular subject they were teaching.
A Hebrew-Greek concordance is an excellent source to look up phrases and scriptures in the bible as those are the languages the bible was interpreted from. I assure you that '3 world ages' will not be found in it.

Can't say exactly, look in Daniel. It is actually about 4 ages or kingdoms, we are currently in the 3rd, was in the 3rd during Roman empire rule. Abraham was in the 2nd. It helps to cross reference world history besides the Bible to have an understanding of the subject. The 4th is the end of this world as we know it (just as the 3rd was the end of the 2nd). Hitler thought that he was bringing in the 3rd, but he was wrong as usual. We were in the 3rd before he was born, and after he died (if he is truly dead)

The Bible is a very confusing montage, so I wouldn't waste time trying to quantify time-lines from it's pages. If you put three theology professors in the same room, they won't agree on anything. There's a reason for this. Truth is subjective to the viewer or to the reader. Those who cling to proof texting and Biblical literalism inevitably must eat their words. Nothing they proclaim ever comes true, unless they can force outcomes with self-fulfilling prophecies.

Sorry, but I'm sure some biblical fanatics will answer your confusing question. Maybe you mean "find" instead of "fine".
