Dear Gabe,

>Titus 1:2 and 2 Tim 1:9? How about usage in LXX Job 3:18, 10:22? 
>What is the sense here?"

>That's what I'm wondering!  Pro aionios chronos.  I'm at a loss!

HH: The lexicon BAGD for the expression CPONOIS AIWNIOIS in Rom 16:25 
gives "long ages ago." With PRO as in Tit 1:2 and 2 Tim 1:9, the 
phrase means "before time began." In Job 3:18 the word refers to 
people who lived long ages ago. In Job 10:22 the idea is "perpetual."

				Yours,
