Yet, the animal sacrifices in the Old Testament did not last forever.
This merely shows that the word "ever" (i.e. for ever) (KJB) does not always mean "eternity," as we think.

In other words, if we are to take the words "forever" as meaning for all eternity, it sets up a contradiction in the Bible. So we must rightly divide and realize that the word "forever" does not always mean "forever" in the literal sense perpetually. Meaning it is only forever in context to how long it was intended to last or within the bounds of something temporal.

Take, for example, Philemon 1:15: Paul mentioned to Philemon how Onesimus would return to him (his master) forever. Obviously, Onesimus is not an immortal man still living on Earth with his master (Philemon) today. He was returning back to his master forever within the context of their temporary lives on Earth.
