Eternity Is A Lot Longer Than You Think

And infinity is a lot bigger than we can imagine. Some believe sinners go to hell for eternity, but hell itself is destroyed after some time. Eternity goes on. What the Biblical word eternity means is time-out-of-mind. “For eternity” is a longer time than we can imagine or comprehend, but it still has an end. I think the church scholars actually know this, but it doesn't pay the preachers as well. People who are sent to hell for eternity get out after they have paid the last farthing, do they not? Whatever "payment" is. And yet the real eternity goes on. How long has the Ineffable been around? The span of one universe until now? The span of two universes? Ten? Ten trillion universes? He'd just be getting started: "G'morning!"

Our whole solar system is four billion years old, and it is just a pup among the universe's countless trillions of solar systems. What is next door to our universe in any and all directions? And what lies beyond that?

Eternity is a very, very, very long time; and infinity is very, very, very big. I do not think this is God's first dance. He has been through all this before: "This is how I do it."
