Has anyone heard of the golden age?

Question

Like andymcj66 wrote, A Golden Age. A period when people will become more spiritual and 'guides'; people who have a higher knowledge will lead us to a new way of existing. Any idea when that is supposed to take place?

Answer 1

yes what about it ?

Answer 2

The term Golden age stems from Greek mythology and Roman poets. It refers to the highest age in the Greek spectrum of Iron, Bronze, Silver and Golden ages, or to a time in the beginnings of Humanity which was perceived as an ideal state, or utopia, when humankind was pure and immortal. In literary works, the Golden Age usually ends with a devastating event, which brings about the Fall of Man (see Ages of Man). An analogous idea can be found in the religious and philosophical traditions of the Far East. For example, the Vedic or ancient Hindu culture saw history as cyclical composed of yugas with alternating Dark and Golden ages. The Kali yuga (Iron Age), Dwapara yuga (Bronze Age), Treta yuga (Silver age) and Satya yuga (Golden age) correspond to the four Greek ages. Similar beliefs can be found in the ancient Middle East and throughout the ancient world.

According to Giorgio de Santillana, the former professor of history at MIT, and co-author of the book Hamlet's Mill[1], there are over 200 myth and folkstories from over 30 ancient cultures that spoke of a cycle of the ages tied to the movement of the heavens. Some Utopianist beliefs, both political and religious, hold that the Golden Age will return after a period of blessedness and gradual decadence is completed. Other proponents, including many modern day Hindus, believe a Golden age will gradually return as a natural consequence of the changing yugas.

Some pastoral works of fiction depict life in an imaginary Arcadia as being a continuation of life in the Golden Age; the shepherds of such a land have not allowed themselves to be corrupted into civilization.

Answer 6

That was a good descriptive name for the Watchtower magazine. It has been their golden age of fleecing their poor cultic followers by promising them if they only produce enough, they will be one of the mythical 144,000 "worthies" who will inherit their fantasy "golden age"
I'll stick with the real Jesus, thank you.
The One Who IS God, and who died on a CROSS, not a "torture stake", was placed BODILY in a tomb and
resurrected BODILY, in his flesh and blood,( Jesus' body didn't "turn into a gas"; one common explanation of the Jehovah's Witness cult.)
Jesus lives today at the right hand of God in HEAVEN...
(YES there is a heaven, we don't just die like dogs)
Jesus didn't appear somewhere in New York in 1914.
A brief study of JW "beliefs" shows how incredulous it really is.
