Bible Question: Does 1 Cor 15:24 imply that "the kingdom" is not "forever" [for the aion] as is implied by translating the Greek word "aion" as "forever" in most places in the New Testament? |
Bible Answer: P.A. Van B., nice question, but I think the kingdom that is referred to as not lasting forever might possibly be the Mediatorial kingdom? Where Christ is the Mediator between man and God, because He is both in fact, man and God. This will come to an end, but the Kingdom of God will not, as testified to in the following verses: 2 Samuel 7:13; He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. Psalm 45:6; Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. Psalm 16:11; You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Daniel 4:3; How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation. Luke 1:33; and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." |
