PARAGRAPH 1:  Endlessness is expressed in the Scriptures by the simple phrase "no end" (Lk. 1:33; Dan. 7:14; Isa. 9:7). The thought of permanence is also expressed in Heb. 7:16, "the power of an endless (or indissoluble) life," and in I Pet. 1:4, "an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away." Now had the Holy Spirit wished to indicate true unendingness or true eternity as the time issue in the punishment and suffering of the lost, He could have used the word that He used in Rom. 1:20 to describe God's "eternal power and Godhead, " literally God's "perpetual" or "imperceptable" power and Godhead, one being unable to see to the end of it! You see, had the Holy Spirit wanted to convey unendingness in reference to the punishment of the enemies of God, He could have used words that plainly denoted that, rather than the words "to the age...... to the ages," "to the age of the ages "to the ages of the ages, " etc., all which plainly denote SPANS OF TIME.

PARAGRAPH 2:  "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever (to the ages of the ages): and they have no rest DAY NOR NIGHT, who worship the beast..." (Rev. 14:10-11). Notice, dear reader, that these are tormented DAY AND NIGHT unto the ages of the ages and have no rest DAY NOR NIGHT. The very terms day and night and for ever and ever prove beyond question that we are still dealing with the realm of time. The expression for ever and ever is misleading and throws us into confusion, for, while on one hand eternity is indicated, on the other hand time is indicated by the use of the words day and night. There is no day nor night in eternity! Both are creatures of time. There is no way of knowing how long a time this will be, but since it unquestionably deals with day and night and ages, it does therefore belong to time and no endeavor must be made to equate it with eternity. These words are solemn and awful, and we have no desire but to acknowledge both the wicked deeds and the dreadful and fearful doom of those who are so justly condemned. I have no desire to spend even one day under the terrible hand of God's severity! But to refer to these words as bespeaking eternal, endless, hopeless, and merciless torture is to invite the fearful curse of those who "add to the words of this book" (Rev. 22:18).

PARAGRAPH 3:  Once we understand that AION and all the compounds of that word denote TIME, how clear everything becomes! And how ridiculous the ignorant pratings of men! In an effort to harmonize the Scriptures with the false doctrines of the apostate Church, the translators rendered "the ages of the ages" as "for ever and ever." This one little mistake once and for all exposes their folly. Even in English we can see that "for ever" cannot be endless if "and ever" may be added to it. Eternity cannot be added to! Only time may be compounded. Eternity is absolute timelessness. Eternity is without either beginning or end. There cannot be more than one eternity. You cannot add a second eternity on to a first eternity. Forever in English means "for eternity; always; perpetually; endlessly." Now if "for ever" is "eternity" how can you add "and ever," attaching ANOTHER ETERNITY to an already existing eternity? That isn't even correct English grammar! Ah - but ages are time and time, beloved, can be added to! When the Greek speaks of "the ages of the ages" it is speaking of AGGREGATED PERIODS OF TIME - not eternity! And you cannot get eternity by compounding all the time periods of the past and the future, for time began and time ends. The ages and all the time and times combined do not equal eternity. There simply is no such thing as "the endless ages of eternity" as the preachers love to say, for the phrase is a complete contradiction of itself. No one who is sane and reasonable can maintain otherwise. To do so is to contradict all known facts and to contradict God's own Word.
Apparently, Gary does not understand the other statements he has made.  Aion in Revelation 22:5 is endless, because it is the endless ages which is confirmed by Gary's statements made in Paragraph 4

THE AGE OF THE AGES

PARAGRAPH 4:  While the Scriptures speak of an age, and the ages, and the ages of the ages, - one age proceeding from, or out of, a previous age until all the ages have run their courses - it also points to that glorious climatic age of all ages. We read the phrase, "Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever" (Heb. 1:8). These words "for ever and ever" come from the Greek which literally reads TO THE AGE OF THE AGES. This is very familiar terminology in the Scripture.
     Few men have been caught away by the spirit of inspiration as was the wise king Solomon when he penned the beautiful Song of Solomon. God dropped one thousand and five songs down into the heart of Solomon, but of these, only five comprising the Song of Solomon, have been preserved and have found a place in Holy Scripture. Inspiration named it "The Song of Songs," that is, the one song which was above and beyond all the songs that have ever come from human heart and human lips. Just as the "Song of Songs" was chief above them all, just as the "Holy of holies" was the Holiest place of all, just as the "heaven of the heavens" is the highest heaven of all, just as the "King of kings" is the greatest King of all, so all through the Scriptures, though obscured by many translators, we have this remarkable phrase TO THE AGE OF THE AGES. It points to that age which shall be the most glorious of all, and which finds its type in the year of Jubilee. This is the Holy Spirit's way of expressing the superlative, and so far as God's plan of the ages is concerned this AGE OF THE AGES is THE AGE PAR EXCELLENCE of them all. A simple illustration of this is our expression, "a day of days," meaning a day that comes out of previous days, which crowns them, and embodies not only what they contained, but the full fruition of all that was elementary in them. Eternity does not emerge full grown in man's consciousness until this wonderful age is ended. This AGE OF THE AGES is that glorious climax to His purpose and process of the ages, wherein He states, "Behold, I make ALL things new" (Rev. 21:5). And when He says, "ALL," it is self-evident that there is nothing remaining in the universe which shall not be made new, else all is not all. "For He must reign until He has put ALL enemies under His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death" (I Cor. 15:25-26). When the last enemy is under His feet, destroyed, and there is no more death in any creature anywhere in all God's great universe, then shall God be all in all! The Amplified gives, "Be everything to everyone." Time comes to an end when the ages end and eternity, with God "all in all," becomes a conscious reality.

"AIONIOS" - THE LIFE OF THE AGES

PARAGRAPH 5:  I have pointed out previously that the word for "everlasting" as used of punishment and "everlasting" as used with life is often the same word in the Greek - AIONIOS. Some sincere and well meaning people assert that if AIONIOS does not mean eternal, that is, if the punishment is not eternal, then the life is not eternal. If the "aionios punishment" ends, then the "aionios life" of God must end, say they! That sounds like a reasonable argument, but when one searches beneath the surface he discovers that it merely reveals the ignorance of those who labor the point. Let us see!
     The noun AION nowhere means eternal. Its simple meaning is an age. In its plural form it means ages. We have unquestionably and incontrovertibly demonstrated this fact from numerous New Testament passages. Now once we understand that AIONIOS is the adjective form of the noun AION, a simple little sixth-grade grammar lesson should once and for all establish the exact meaning of AIONIOS.
 

PARAGRAPH 6:  Thus the adjective AIONIOS, a derivative of AION, carries within itself its own solution; for AIONIOS is simply what belongs or relates to the AIONS - the ages - hence it cannot carry a force or express a duration greater than that of the ages of which it speaks. If therefore these ages are limited periods, some of which are already past, while others are yet to come, the word AIONIOS cannot mean infinity!
     And yet men who should know better tell us that the Greek noun AION means an age, or ages, which is TIME, and then proceed to ridiculously explain that the adjective form of the same word means exactly the opposite - unending, everlasting, ETERNAL! A child of ten should be able to understand that that is not so. The adjective AIONIOS modifies two nouns in Matt. 25:46 and numerous other passages: punishment and life. "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." It tells what kind of punishment and what kind of life Jesus is talking about. It is ages-lasting punishment and ages-lasting life, or better stated THE LIFE OF THE AGES. Now I can hear someone protesting, "But isn't the life we have received from God ETERNAL LIFE?" Certainly God's life is eternal life. But we have received that life injected into TIME, so that the inworking of that life through the processings of God is experienced in relation to TIME rather that ETERNITY. Let me explain. Anything that is absolutely eternal is not only unending, but is also UNCHANGEABLE. Anything that changes in any way is not eternal, for in the change some characteristic is left behind and a new one acquired. In every change something ends and something else begins, at least in form. That which dwells in an eternal state knows NO CHANGE. Change is possible only in that which is limited, imperfect, or not fully developed. The Lord declares of Himself, "I am the Lord, I CHANGE NOT" (Mal. 3:6), and the inspired apostle says of Him, with Whom there is no VARIABLENESS, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17). God is never surprised. God has not learned anything this week, nor last year, nor in the last several trillion years. If God learned one thing today, it would destroy Him. He would no longer be the omniscient One who knows the end from the beginning, for known unto Him are all His works from the creation of the world. God does not experiment. God does not become stronger, mightier, or increase Himself in any way. God is the omnipotent and omniscient one. He CHANGES NOT. He eternally is all that He is without an decrease or increase or fluctuation whatsoever. Therefore He is the ETERNAL GOD! It means more than unending, it means unchangeable, and therefore unending! But we, in our spiritual life, are STILL BEING CHANGED! "And all of us... are constantly BEING TRANSFIGURED (changed) into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another" (II Cor. 3:18, Amplified). Therefore the life we have received is not truly eternal yet, it is the LIFE OF THE AGES, God's life injected into time to be processed and matured into that unchangeableness which He Himself is!

TIME VS. ETERNITY

PARAGRAPH 7:  It is a great and blessed fact that God is the eternal God. Transition, adjustments, change - these words seem to be constantly with us, until we fain would grasp for something that seems to be stable, solid, enduring. Much of the inner drive for change is simple evidence that man is not satisfied, has not found his completeness in Christ, for "beloved NOW are we the children of God, and it does not yet appear WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that when HE shall appear, we SHALL (then) BE LIKE HIM for we shall see HIM AS HE IS" (I Jn. 3:2). Here is stability - immutability - the quality of His nature remains the same, HE IS THE ETERNAL! And this is the nature of which we would be a partaker, the fullness of which we find in Christ, and through union with Him with which we shall be changed until we become changeless in the absoluteness of that which He is. He who is eternal cannot be influenced, affected, moved, changed, altered, damaged or destroyed in any way. He cannot grow tired or old. The character of God is eternal, changeless, unaffected. The love, joy, peace, righteousness and power of God do not rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall. Matters not what happens or what men or devils say or do, the love of God, the purpose of God, and the power of God are steadfast, unmoved, unquenched, unaffected, without fluctuation. The eternal existence of God is certain for He is the source of all life. Death cannot touch Him for He is not dependent upon the sustaining power of another, He is Jehovah, the SELF-EXISTENT ONE.
 

PARAGRAPH 8:  ETERNITY IS A STATE OF ABSOLUTE TIMELESSNESS, not of unending time. Eternity is a STATE OF BEING, resident in the very nature and person of God in which such concepts as past, present, future, before, after, change, transition, growth, decay, etc. do not exist. It is wrong to assert that, when time ends, eternity will begin, because eternity has no beginning. Neither did it end when time began, as so many charts indicate. Therefore it is very important that we make a clear distinction between ages, which belong to time, and eternity, which is timeless. It is more important still that we, in our study of the Bible, search out diligently those passages which refer to time and those which refer to eternity. Do you have it yet? Do you see? Time is not part of eternity; eternity is not composed of segments of time. Eternity is not time standing still; it is simply not time at all. Eternity doesn't go on and on and on, ad infinitum. Eternity doesn't go anywhere, nor does it do anything. Eternity simply IS. Eternity is part of the very nature and person of God. Eternity transcends beyond our knowing anything having to do with time. It is not time at all. It is just a glorious experience of BEING! Eternity simply IS, just as God simply IS. Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM" (Jn. 8:58) - not "Before Abraham was, I WAS." There are not past or future tenses in eternity. There is only one eternal NOW.

Blatant contradiction in Gary's own theology here.  Gary has repeatedly stated that the "ages of the ages" has not occured yet.  Now Gary is saying that this eternity is "NOW."
Another contradiction is that God has created all.  "All" includes time.  Scripture confirms this.  Gary has freely admitted that God is eternal.  By Gary's false statement that "time is not part of eternity" is a wilfull error to mislead others, because Gary is now saying that God did not create time.  Time did not create God --- God created time!  Get it straight.

THE GOD OF THE AGES

PARAGRAPH 9:  Now the eternal God has injected Himself into time. The Bible rarely speaks of God as eternal; both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures reveal Him as the GOD OF THE AGES - time. "In the beginning God created..." Since that wonderful dawn God has been the God of His creation, the God of heaven and earth, the God of the ages, the God of history, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Israel, and the God of our salvation. God is said to be living "for the ages of the ages" not because God must die when the ages end, but in contrast to multitudes of His creatures whose days upon earth are limited to "threescore and ten years." Generation after generation, through the rise and fall of empires, and the shifting sands of history, God remains.

God in Christ became man as well as God. God as man has tenses to His being: the yesterday of the past, the today of the present, the tomorrow of the future. This is not the eternal God, but the God who has dispensed of His eternity into time. "Jesus Christ the same - yesterday, today, and to the ages" (Heb. 13:8, literal). "And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come" (Rev. 4:8). Day and night do not exist in eternity - they fill up the whole of time. HE is praised and extolled both DAY AND NIGHT, this God who WAS, and IS, and IS TO COME, the God of the ages, the Architect of history, the Lord of time, the King of the universe, the Most High who "...lives for the ages, whose dominion is an age during dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation: and all the inhabitants - of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest Thou?" (Dan. 4:34-35, literal & KJV).

PARAGRAPH 10:  That the adjective is thus consistently used to denote indefinite duration will appear from several illustrations, some of which we have already given. 2 Cor. 4:17, "A far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," or, as the original reads, "exceeding an aiónion weight of glory excessively." Now eternal, endless cannot be exceeded, but aiónion can be, therefore aiónion is not eternal. Again, Rev. 14:6, "The everlasting gospel." The gospel is good news. When all shall have learned its truths it will no longer be news. There will be no such thing as gospel existing. Faith will be fruition, hope lost in sight, and the aiónion gospel, like the aiónion covenant of the elder dispensation, will be anulled, not destroyed, but fulfilled and passed away. Again, 2 Pet. 1:11, "The everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." This kingdom is to be dissolved. Jesus is to surrender his dominion. 1 Cor. 15:24, "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father," etc. The everlasting kingdom of Christ will end.

Wrong again.  "Delivered up" is not "to be dissolved."  The Mediatorial reign of Christ is over---the Body of Christ is delivered up to The Father where they shall reign for eternity.  Read Revelation 22:5.

The word may mean endless when applied to life, and not when applied to punishment, even in the same sentence, though we think duration is not considered so much as the intensity of joy or the sorrow in either case.

WORDS TEACHING ENDLESS DURATION

PARAGRAPH 11:  But the Blessed Life has not been left dependent on so ambiguous a word. The soul's immortal and happy existence is taught in the New Testament, by words that in the Bible are never applied to anything that is of limited duration. They are applied to God and the soul's happy existence only. These words are akataluton, imperishable; amarantos and amarantinos, unfading; aphtharto, immortal, incorruptible; and athanasian, immortality. Let us quote some of the passages in which these words occur:

Wrong.  Try reading 1 Corinthians 15:42 - 54.  Akataluton, aphtharto, & athanasian are all used in reference to the Body of Christ and is endless eternal neverending life.

PARAGRAPH 12:  Heb. 7:15, 16, "And it is far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless (akatalutos, imperishable) life." 1 Pet. 1:3, 4, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, (aphtharton,) and undefiled, and that fadeth not (amaranton) away." 1 Pet. 5:4, "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not (amarantinos) away." 1 Tim. 1:17, "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, (aphtharto,) invisible, the only wise god, be honor and glory forever and ever, Amen." Rom. 1:23, "And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man." 1 Cor. 9:25, "Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible." 1 Cor. 15:51-54, "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, (aphthartoi,) and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, (aphtharsian,) and this mortal must put on immortality (athanasian). So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, (aphtharsian,) and this mortal shall have put on immortality, (athanasian,) then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory." Rom. 2:7, "To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, (aphtharsia,) eternal life." 1 Cor. 15:42, "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption (aphtharsia)." See also verse 50, 2 Tim 1:10, "Who brought life and immortality (aphtharsian) to light, through the gospel." 1 Tim. 6:16, "Who only hath immortality (athanasian)."
PARAGRAPH 13:    Now these words are applied to God and the soul's happiness. they are words that in the Bible are never applied to punishment, or to anything perishable. They would have been affixed to punishment had the Bible intended to teach endless punishment. And certainly they show the error of those who declare that the indefinite word aiónion is all the word, or the strongest word in the Bible declarative of the endlessness of the life beyond the grave. A little more study of the subject would prevent such reckless statements and would show that the happy, endless life does not depend at all on the pet word of the partialist critics.

Gary Jessup contradict's himself again here by clearly showing that 1 Cor 15:42 - 54 are endless life, but denies himself by stating that those words (akataluton, aphtharto, & athanasian) are in direct reference to the statement highlighted in Paragraph 13.  Gary's theology is incredibly confused.

the below article in it's entirety can be found at CAN THIS BE TRUE?

PARAGRAPH 14:  Ours is not to consider the weightier matters, but to thoroughly explain and reveal the
         understanding of the importance of time as expressed by AION and AIONIOS. There
         is a basis, a foundation, which must be considered. IF God uses the word "AION" to
         mean "eternal" as a time without end, then that thought/understanding should follow
         throughout the Bible. The thought is that the time period is endless. If the word
         "AION" does not mean "eternal" then that should also be proven by the texts studied.

 PARAGRAPH 15:    God has given us "eternal life" the KJV proclaims. The Greek is AIONIAN life. An
         age lasting life. Does this mean that we have lost "eternal" life and won't live forever?
         By no means! The truth is God has given us life for the age (eternal). BUT through
         salvation we will be delivered from the ages into that which is without time. When
         time is no more we shall "be". But we can not and must not equate "eternal" with
         timelessness.

         Some will find it offensive to consider that heaven will end, as well as the lake of fire.
         Some will find it offensive that there is no rapture, others will be offended that they
         will not know their relatives in heaven. Church doctrine teaches one thing, the
         Scriptures another. But truth remains.

                    Consider the following comparisons, and their discrepancies:

         Revelation 11:15: "He shall reign for EVER and EVER."

         1 Corinthians 15:25: "For he must reign UNTIL He hath put all enemies under His feet."

         Obviously, Gary Jessup has not studied Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they 
         need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall
         reign for ever and ever.
         Death is no more in Revelation 21:4.  Gary also contradicts himself in this study in comparison
         to "PARAGRAPH 4" with his own admission that "Behold, I make ALL things new" (Rev.
         21:5) and Gary further states that this is where God is all in all.  Gary's contradiction of
         Revelation 11:15 is self evident.
         ___________________________________________________
 

         Hebrews 5:6: " Thou... a priest for EVER after the order of Melchizedec"

         Hebrews 9:26: " but now once in the end of the WORLD... to put away sin..."

         It is amazing at how fast Gary forget's his own statement's.  Compare Gary's statement in
         Paragraph 12, in his own admission that "...the power of an endless (akatalutos, imperishable) life."
         is in fact endless life.  Hebrews 7:16 refers to Jesus Christ!  Gary is now caught in double-speak.
         The same contradiction is found in Paragraph 1, 4, 7, 9 &11 when compared with the statement 
         made in Paragraph 4 as well as Gary's attack on Hebrews 5:6.
         ___________________________________________________

         Jonah 2:6: (while in the fish) " I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth
         with her bars was about me FOREVER."
         Pointless illustration.  If God did not deliver Jonah from corruption, Jonah would be in hell
         forever.

         Matthew 12:39: " For as Jonas was three days and nights ..."

         ____________________________________________________

         Exodus 28:43 (Aaron's call as a priest) "...it shall be a statue for  EVER unto him and his seed after him."
         Pointless illustration.  A prophecy to show that Jesus Christ is the symbol of salvation for the
         seed of Abraham (see Romans 1:1, Hebrews 2:12 - 16, etc.)

         Hebrews 7:11 "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood...what further
         need...another priest...after the order of Melchizedec..."
         Gary Jessup shoot's himself in the foot with this statement, for Gary stated several times that
         in Paragraph 12, 'akatalutos is endless.'   His theology changes line by line.
 

         These few passages and there comparison clearly express the idea that "eternal" does
         not mean timelessness. What it does show is that there is a time period that will last for
         an unknown period to man. In other words, God knows the length of the time period
         while to man it seems unending because it lasts through many generations.

         When death is swallowed up by life (1 Corinthians 15:54), there is no more death.
         Death and hell are cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20). So are the unsaved on that
         day. The people are NOT ETERNALLY tormented. They are judged and tormented
         for an AGE. At the end of the age, death is turned into life.
         Gary's wishful thinking is not enough to support his false claims.  Gary has admitted that
         in Jesus Christ is eternal in Paragraphs 1, 4, 7, 9 & 11 but then reverses himself in Paragraphs
         10 & 15  (among other statements made within Gary's website).
 
         Heaven is for an age. The lake of fire is for an age. How long is the age? No man
         knows. But we do know that there are: an age of the ages, or eon of the eons -
         Ephesians 3:21. This means that within a number of ages, this one age is the best of
         the group.

         But then we also find that there is the phrase: ages of the ages, or eons of the eons.
         This means that there are ages that are the best of all the ages. One age in this group
         of ages and another age in that group of ages, gives us two ages that are the best of the
         ages. Thus is birthed the idea of ages of the ages. Revelation 1:6 in the KJV says "for
         ever and ever" and should be translated as "for the eons of the eons".

         Confused? I hope not. But before time ends and is no more we have many ages to go
         through. Jesus came that we might have eternal life - age lasting life. The word
         "AIONIOS" is used 43 times with the word "life". It is used with fire 3 times. With the
         usage of life it refers not only to time but in certain places of Scripture with the very
         nature of life.

         You said it Gary---"confused?"  Your theology changes from paragraph to paragraph.
         "age lasting life" is not what you admitted in Paragraph 12 now is it?

         At the point of salvation, that born again experience, the saint receives life. Age life.
         He may physically die, but will receive resurrection because the life in Him abides
         through the ages. It is the seed unto the resurrection so that then at the appointed time
         he will receive immortality, which is life that is beyond time. Thus, while some think
         they have "eternal life", that is living unendingly, they do err. This age-life causes us to
         abide through the ages, even while in the grave until the appointed time.

         No Gary, they do not err, it is you that err's.  Read your own writing on Paragraph 12.

         Those that are raised unto judgment - the lake of fire - do not receive immortality.
         They suffer the second death (Rev.20). It is only at the end of the eons (ages) that all
         death is swallowed up into life. As in Adam all die ALL shall be made alive (1
         Cor.15:22).

         Not so fast Gary.  Not one verse in the bible states that there is a resurrection from the 2nd death.
         In all Greek manuscripts, wherever the word resurrection is used, it is singular, not plural.
        Get it yet?  I certainly hope so.

         I might add that a thorough study of scripture will also reveal that the soul is not
         immortal. It does not go to heaven when a person dies. Age-life supports the idea that
         the soul does not go to "heaven." It is the tendency of human nature to run in ruts. No
         where is this tendency more marked than in the sphere of the religious. It must be
         obvious to a careful observer, that the one thought with most adherents of Christianity
         is to defend the tenets of traditional belief. Few care to admit that they have taken too
         much for granted; fewer still have inclination to test what they have received or
         courage to recant a fixed thought.

         Scripture is regarded not so much as a well of life, a source of knowledge, but as a
         vast arsenal of text-weapons for separate use in theological arguments" (Vladimir
         Gelesnoff, The Ages in Scripture, pg.3). AION/AIONIOS carry within their
         understanding of an "age" that an "age" has an end. When anyone talks and uses the
         word "age" and people that are involved with the conversation understand that "age"
         refers to a specific period of time. A period of time that has a beginning and an ending.
         But the KJV uses the word "eternal" which has the connotation of no time.

         Hebrews 1:8 states: "...Thy throne of God is for ever and ever; a scepter of
         righteousness, is the scepter of thy kingdom." This verse is clearly applied to Jesus
         Christ. It is a quote of the Old Testament Psalm 45:6. Yet, in the light of 1 Corinthians
         15:24, which we quoted earlier, Jesus reigns TIL He turns all over to the Father. What
         does "for ever and ever" mean in the KJV of the Bible ?

         In this verse it clearly should be translated as "unto the ages of the ages". In other
         words, Jesus Christ reigns until the best ages of all the ages have finished their function
         in finally delivering all creation from death. When everything is swallowed up into life,
         He turns it over to His Father.

         Revelation 11:15 in the KJV states that "The kingdom of the world is become the
         kingdom of our Lord and His Christ and He shall reign for ever and ever." Again, it
         shows that there were kingdoms that reigned for a while, and then His appeared and
         will reign for ages of the ages". Christ rules in the affairs of men from the time of
         creation unto the summation of creation. We can say unequivocally.
