1 | Taleb, Is the harvest done (Mat 13:39ff) | Matt 24:1 | Taleb | 78534 | ||
Searcher, To save me time, I will only quote from a few of "my sources". I’m glad I don’t use the one you did. I’d be confused with what the Lord has so often shown me FROM His word. :) My New Englishman’s Greek Concordance and Lexicon defined Strong’s 165 as: “(a) an INDEFINATELY long period, eternity (past or future), (b) a certain segment of time, era, age (present or future), (c) material universe as the manifestations of the ages. My Vines Expository Dictionary defined Strong’s 165 (aion) definition as: “an age, era (to be connected with “aei”, ever, signifies a period of indefinite duration , or time viewed in relation to what takes place in the period. The force attaching to the word is not so much that of the actual length of a period, but that of a period marked by spiritual or moral characteristics …” My Strong’s Greek Dictionary list number 165 as: properly as an “age”; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): Age, course, eternal, (for) ever, …” This brings us to wonderful place. Like how often, and under which differant circumstances, God’s word proclaims “In the day of the Lord”. There are so many “day (singular, yet many) of the Lord" as there have "ages" for us. Got to run. Have to get to Church. Respectfully, Taleb |

Study what it is singular or plural. Is it because the supporting text requires it? aion can have many meanings as you pointed out, so it need to be Messianic period (present). It cannot because of the last half of the chapter. I have cited soem of the future events. I think I am wasting my time on this matter. |
