#327 - CHRIST TRIUMPHANT � THOMAS ALLIN

It is true that aionios may be applied as an epithet to things that are endless, but the idea of endlessness in all such cases comes not from the epithet, but only because it is inherent in the object to which the epithet is applied, as in the case of God.

�This is life eternal� should be �the life of the ages,� i.e. peculiar to those ages in which the scheme of salvation is being worked out. The �eternal covenant� is the �covenant of the ages,� the covenant peculiar to the ages of redemption. The �eternal purpose� is really the purpose of �the ages,� i.e. developed and worked out in �the ages.�

We who teach the larger hope believe that not in this brief life only, but through future ages, Christ�s work shall go on till the last straying sheep shall have been found by the Good Shepherd. Then, at the expiry of these ages �cometh the end� when Christ shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, and God shall be All in all (1Cor. 15:28).
