   In Matthew 13:39, Matthew 13:40, and Matthew 13:49, the singular noun occurs in clauses locating the harvest imagery and the separation of evil from the just at the age's concluding point. Matthew 24:3 makes it the object of a question about the sign of that point, while Matthew 28:20 sets continued presence until it; in Hebrews 9:26, the APB renders the setting as “the end of the ages” for Christ's appearance to do away with sin.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term in Matthew as “the consummation of the age,” but uses “the end of the age” in Matthew 28:20 and “the end of the ages” in Hebrews 9:26. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
