Thats odd considering that Daniel was not written in Greek. What transaltion are you using?

Well it's not the LXX which has aionios. The Hebrew word is 'olam which I think means "world" or - presumably in this context - "for the age of a world". When used to indicate a duration it's almost an exact cognate for aion.

I am using the KJV for greek and hebrew words study concerning the word in question.

Daniel 12:2 is the Hebrew word "Olam" not "aiodios" which is greek.


This is how olam was translated in the KJV;

ever 272 times, everlasting 63 times, old 22 times, perpetual 22 times, evermore 15 times,
never 13 times , time 6 times, ancient 5 times, world 4 times, always 3 times, alway 2 times, long 2 times,
more 2 times, never + 0408 2 times, misc 6;

Now if they had a bent towards eternal hellfire which way do you think they would have used it?

oh dear......I'm sorry its a bit of a drag.......yet another display of fundamentalist compassion thats overwhelming in its abundance......'nonbelievers', 'sinners', it seems very rare that those who are suposed to endure unspeakable and barbaric torment in this supposed 'hell' are actually referred to as 'human beings' or people, i wonder why....? Is it easier for fundamentalists to just bunch them in with a tag name so it doesnt feel as personal or uncomfortable for them when they bang on about eternal punishment for them....?

I LOVE THIS! Olam is ever or never, ancient or always, old or world, good grief... is it ever translated as beef stew?
