“The earliest ideas of Eternity were associated in pictographic form originally. This allowed for ‘pictures’ to be ‘as words’ in the European world, let alone the recipients of the Semitic world. How much of these pictographic societies such as the Early Chinese, Sumerian, Egyptian, Hittite and Dravidian convey the idea of the ‘eternal’? Did these earlier cultures lose their weight in conveying a non-analytical idea of eternal ‘spatiality’ and ‘time’? How distant were these concepts to the Medieval World? Did King James’ translators have a grasp of any of this? Was *eternity* looked at as ‘segmented times’ in the Middle Ages amidst the Jacobian era? I can say a big Nope for all of these. Let’s take a light jab at this word *eternity* from what our ancestors thought. This is only a light dig into a much deeper study that fomcm.com will endeavor. Thank you for listening!”

Our English Bibles conceal that four distinct Hebrew terms lie behind the single word “language.”
Here we examine the New Testament concept of freedom through the Greek term eleutheros.
