found... It will I think too be found, that the adjective (aionios) founded on this word,
                 whether applied to "life," "punishment," "redemption," "covenant," "times," or even "God"
                 Himself, is always connected with remedial labour, and with the idea of "ages" as periods
                 in which God is working to meet and correct some awful fall. Thus the "aeonial covenant,"
                 (Heb. xiii. 20.)... is that which comprehends "the ages," during which "Jesus Christ is the
                 same," that is, a Saviour; an office only needed for the fallen, for "they that are whole need
                 not a physician."

                     At this time, only a remnant discern God's plan of the ages, and the preeminent role
               that Christ has been appointed in it. Yahshua must reign until He has wrought a full
               reconciliation of the creation to the Father. This labor will occur within the period of time
               bounded by the ages that Yahweh has established by His own counsel. Christ is therefore
               the Lord of the ages.
                     When the final age of the ages has come to a conclusion, then Yahshua will deliver the
               Kingdom up to the Father. All rule will be abolished, and the ages of Sonship will be at an
               end. The Father will be all in all.
                     Marvelous are the plans of God! His work among the creation will in the end be found
               to be perfect, complete, and all-encompassing.

                 Revelation 11:15
                 The seventh angel blew his trumpet; and there followed loud voices in Heaven which said,
                 "The sovereignty of the world now belongs to our Lord and His Christ; and He will be
                 King until the Ages of the Ages."
                 (Weymouth Translation)
