Deedle:
Good stuff guys and gal.
When I first came to see UR it all hinged on aion and aionios meaning eon / eonian. But now that I'm seeing spirit instead of letter (praise be to God) the word aionios like all other words ("the words that I speak to you are spirit") have taken on a bit of a different meaning. That is just the way God works.
1Co 15:46
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual
So the Lord was working with me in the natural and I did about as much research and study as a person can do on the words aion / aionios / aidios / olam. I'm glad the Lord took me through that because when speaking to the natural man you still have to show them from the scriptures that those word do not mean what our english "eternal" means. But those same "natural" explainations can lead to "death" if we don't move past them.
2Co 3:6
who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Heb 6:1-3
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit.
This sums it up for me.
Joh 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
To know God and Jesus Christ!
Also just wanted note that the Son's reign is "aionios" but the Kingdom does not end.
Luk 1:33
...and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for the aions. And of His kingdom there shall be no end."
One more fun fact, aion comes from the word aiw which literally means "vital force". The best book I ever read on the word was:

You can buy a hard copy from concordant for like 3 bucks.

ABSOLUTELY!!
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOR EVER; :wink:
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. \:D/
Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Joh 14:22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make OUR abode with him.[/list:u]

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.[/list:u]
Amen Deedle!! The reign of Christ comes to an end, but THE KINGDOM is delivered up to the Father. [-o<
Blessings,
Chrissie
SteveB:
Good Thread.
The word aion/ios has great spiritual application inward too. We all have an aion in the flesh and thank God it comes to an end!
