What does "into the ages of the ages" mean? (Incorrectly translated "forever and ever") and according to Louis Abbot can NOT be forever and ever because "ton" always means "of the"...

But my question is, does it refer to a duration or simply an era?

Jesus  states, "I live into the ages of the ages."

I would say it means an era with an indefinite period of time.. And although Jesus does live there, he lives HERE too (not yet the ages of the ages) because He's always available to make intercession for us at the present time.

Abbot says its a limited duration based on the Scripture that says Jesus must reign "until he puts all enemies under his feet, the last enemy to be destroyed is death." ...

But could the ages of the ages be an indefinite era that includes (eternity already) with all things reconciled to God?

What do you guys think?
