Ephesians 3:11
According to the eternal (aionian) purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord...
Hebrews 6:2
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and
of eternal (aionian) judgment.
Revelation 19:2-3
For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did
corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever (aions) and ever (aions).
Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast
and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever (aions) and ever
(aions).
Matthew 25:41
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting (aionian) fire, prepared for the devil and his angels...
Jude 6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved
in everlasting (aionian) chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
It is evident that in each instance the translators interpreted this word to mean what they thought it
should say according to the beliefs they had adopted. In the original KJV Bibles that were released
in the 1600s, the translators included a list of restrictions that King James of England had placed
upon them. One of these instructions was that the Bible could contain no translation that would upset
the orthodoxy of the Church of England. The Anglican Church taught a doctrine of eternal
damnation, therefore the scholars working on the King James Bible had to conform their translation
to this belief.
It is apparent that the translators were very inconsistent in the interpretation of this word. If the word
aion and its variants mean eternal, everlasting, or for ever, then the word should make sense when
interpreted this way in the other Scriptures in which it is found. In this, it fails the test. Consider how
nonsensical the following Scriptures would be.
Ephesians 2:7
That in the eternities (aions) to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his
kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Colossians 1:26
Even the mystery which hath been hid from eternities (aions) and from generations, but now
is made manifest to his saints...
