Ephesians 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the eternity (aion) of this world, according to
the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.

Hebrews 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the eternities (aions);

John 9:32
Since the eternity (aion) began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was
born blind.

It is quite obvious that the Greek word aion is not referring to eternity in these and many other
verses. The Greek word aion refers to an age that has a beginning and an end. Its variants refer to
ages, or as an adjective to that which is age-lasting, or age-abiding. J. Preston Eby in his writing The
Savior of the World, shares the following:

And now in reviewing the Scriptures we have just quoted we note that this aion is something
which has a king; it has princes; it is in darkness; it had a beginning; it has an ending; it is
evil; it has wisdom; it has children who marry; it has cares. The aions we find were made by
Christ, simply through His spoken Word, and we also find in Colossians 1:26 that the
mystery of Christ in us, the hope of glory, has been hidden from these aions. Now, if AION
means ETERNAL, consider how ridiculous the Word of God would be! The Holy Spirit
would be found saying, "the mystery which has been hid from eternities;" "the mystery of
Christ which in other eternities was not made known;" "in the eternities to come;" "You
walked according to the eternity of this world;" "by whom also He made the eternities;" "the
rulers of the darkness of this eternity;" "now once in the end of the eternities has He
appeared;" "the harvest is the end of the eternity;" "since eternity began;" "in the eternities
to come," etc. etc... Suffice it to say here that there have been "aions" in the past, there is this
present "aion," and there are "aions" to come. And these all combined make up TIME,
encompassing the whole of the progressive plan and program of God for the development
of His creation.

Laying aside the myths of Rome, let us now translate these passages consistently, using the word
"age," or "ages" in these same Scriptures. At once, the confusion is resolved, and a consistent
teaching regarding the ages of God comes into view.

Eph. 2:7 "in the ages (aions) to come."
Col. 1:26 "the mystery which has been hid from the ages (aions). "
Eph. 2:2 "you walked, according to the age (aion) of this world."
Heb. 1:2 "by whom also He made the ages (aions)."
Heb. 11:3 "the ages (aions) were formed by the Word of God."
Gal. 1:4 "deliver us from this present evil age (aion)."
Eph. 6:12 "the rulers of the darkness of this age (aion)."
