AUGUSTINE Dr. Edwin Abbott, headmaster of the City of London School, wrote in his Cambridge Sermons - QUOTE: An argument was introduced by Augustine, and since his day incessantly repeated, that if aionios kolasis does not mean endless punishment, then there is no security for the believer that aionios zoe means endless life, and that he will enjoy the promise of endless happiness. But Matt. 25:46 shows the eonian chastisement and eonian life are of the same duration-lasting during the eons, and when the eons end, as Scripture states they will (1 Cor. 10:11; Heb. 9:26), the time called eonian is past and the life called eonian is finished, but life continues beyond the eons, as Paul teaches at 1 Cor. 15:26: The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (including the second death which is the lake of fire). That is, the last, the final one in order. How will it be destroyed? First Corinthians 15:22 gives the answer: For as IN ADAM ALL are dying, even so IN CHRIST ALL shall be made alive. Death is destroyed when ALL have been made alive, IN CHRIST. -- Dr. Edwin Abbott Note God’s wording “In Christ all shall be made alive” not All who are in Christ GOD’S PLAN FOR THE AGES OF TIME THE EONS OF THE BIBLE WITH CONCORDANCE saviourofall.org/Tracts/Eons2.html
