Does Jesus mention the church age in this verse?
No, the verse spoken by Jesus Himself contains no mention of the church age. He skips over it from His ministry to the tribulation, and during that seven-year period the 144,000 will proclaim the gospel of the kingdom. The church age is not in view here.
