Have You Ever Wondered About Forever?

Have you ever really stopped to think about how we use the word forever?

We use it to mean without end, yet at the same time we use it to refer to a definite period of time with an end. For instance,

"Waiting for those test results took forever."

"Standing in line to get my drivers license took forever."

"Registering for my classes took forever."

I could give more examples, but you get the idea. Right?

When you read the Bible and come across the word forever, have you ever stopped to think about it?

Have you ever wondered if it might be possible that the writers of Scripture could be using the word in the same way we do today?

Have you ever taken time time to try and find out what the original words translated as forever, everlasting, and eternal actually are?

These may seem like unimportant questions, but in light of the fact that the word forever us used to refer to the lake of fire, it seems more than just a little important.

Below is a lins to a teaching on the word forever that James Flanders recorded in late 2012, it is a follow up to his teachings on Sheol and other words that have been translated as hell in the King James Version and a precursor to a teaching on the lake of fire in the book of Revelation.

Here is the study on YouTube.

Let me reiterate that this is a very important topic especially as we consider the topic of eternal torment, the judgment of God, and hell.
