Dear Gabe,

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,
Harold Holmyard
