Eternal is infinite in time, a concept introduced by Jesus. God is usually seen as being eternal in that He has no beginning and no end and while human souls had a starting point, they are considered to be eternal as well in the Christian worldview.

There are nearly 70 references to "eternal" in the New Testament, but almost no references in the same sense of the word in the Old Testament.

Georg Cantor revolutionized mathematics by inventing Set Theory in order to understand eternity.
