John Darby Version Replaced "World" with "Age" (Dispensation)
According to the Scofield 1917 Reference Bible, "A dispensation is a period of time during which man is tested in respect to some specific revelation of the Will of God" [emphasis mine]
J. N. Darby (and Cyrus Scofield, via his marginal notes and footnotes) altered key New Testament prophetic passages by replacing the word, "world" with "age." In most of these instances, the substitution of the word, "age" for "world" communicates the idea of the end of a dispensation (age) rather than the end of the world.
