'''Eon''', a variation of '''aeon''' (Greek '''αίών'''—a space of time, an age, a cycle (of time), especially of the present age as contrasted with the future age, and of one of a series of ages stretching to [[infinity]].") <ref>[http://biblehub.com/greek/165.htm Strong's G165 '''αίών''']</ref>: an indefinitely long or immeasurably long period of time; usually meaning thousands and thousands of years; a period of time so very long that it cannot be measured: also, a period of one thousand million years, a unit of time equal to a billion years. (U.S. 1,000,000,000 years = one billion years): '''an age'''.{{quotation|And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, ''even'' unto the end of the world (Greek '''αίώνος''' ''aeonos'' "eon"). <ref>Matthew 28:18-20</ref>}}
