  22. αιωσιν aion It is sometimes translated world; world represents a period or a series of periods of time. See Matt 12:32; 13:40,49; 1 Cor 1:20; 2:6; Eph 1:21.

  23. (Mat 12:32) And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. • Mat 13:40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. • Mat 13:49 So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous, • 1Co 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

  24. 1Co 2:6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. • 1Co 2:7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification.

  26. Aei means habitually or continually within the limit of the subject's life. Tit. 1:12 Acts 7:51; 2 Cor. 4:11; 6:10; Heb 3:10; 1 Pet. 3:15. • One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." • "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.

Amen. • Gal 1:5 to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. • Phi 4:20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

  31. Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and wonderful are thy deeds, O Lord God the Almighty!

Amen 'o basileus ton aionon, God the King of the aeons

  32. That is still "the mystery" that has been kept in silence in times eternal (chronois aioniois) God therefore is described as the God of the aeons, the God who pervaded and controlled those periods before the incarnation.
