Lasting Throughout God's Time.

Scholars are uncertain as to the Bible use of the words 'everlasting' and 'eternal', and the Hebrew concept of time generally, but whatever their precise meaning, there is no difference between them. 'Everlasting' does not convey the modern idea of absolute endlessness. Literally, both Hebrew and Greek mean 'age-lasting', but 'age' is not defined and can only be seen to relate to a period limited by conditions, circumstances and events, rather than the calculated passing of time.

In the Old Testament, everlasting is frequently linked to the covenant God makes with man and God's love for man. This love is to be fulfilled in the establishment of an 'everlasting' kingdom.
"Then I [Nebuchadnezzar] praised the Most High; I honored and glorified Him who lives forever. His dominion is an eternal dominion; His kingdom endures from generation to generation." (Daniel 4:34).

"The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you. For the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory." (Isaiah 60:19).

The apostle John particularly brings out the idea that eternal life is a quality of life that begins for us now, even if we only appreciate it in part: "Now this is eternal life: that they might know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." (John 17:3).

"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son…. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1 John 5:11,13).
