Two Greek adjectives, both often rendered “eternal, ” actually differ sharply: aïdios means strictly endless or timeless; aiônios—from aiôn, “age” or “epoch” —means pertaining to an age, long-lasting, or belonging to the world to come. Scripture and most early Fathers reserve aïdios for divine life and bliss, never for punishment or fire. That lexical choice is deliberate and carries massive theological weight.

Just as the builders of Babel sought to establish a name שֵֵׁׁ for themselves ( ם , šēm) in Genesis 11, so too has the American Babel become the central vehicle through which modern humanity asserts its autonomy and self-decree. Scripture’s language is timeless; its Hebrew and Greek texts stand as the final court of appeal for every theological claim.
