Here is an example where "everlasting" (hebrew olam) is applied to both God and mountains. We know that mountains are not everlasting.
Habakuk 3:6
KJV
He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
YLT
He hath stood, and He measureth earth, He hath seen, and He shaketh off nations, And scatter themselves do mountains of antiquity, Bowed have the hills of old, The ways of old are His.
Here is a definition of the hebrew olam (equivalent of greek aionion) that sheds light on the issue.

Agree.
Romans 16:26-
"
25 And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in
the times of the ages having been kept silent,
26 and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the
age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --
27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him [be] glory
to the ages. Amen. (Young's Literal)
25 Now to Him Who is able to establish you in accord with my evangel, and the heralding of Christ Jesus in accord with the revelation of a secret hushed in times
eonian,
26 yet manifested now and through prophetic scriptures, according to the injunction of the
eonian God being made known to all nations for faith-obedience -- (Concordant Literal)
My belief is, just as the American President is the president of America, the Eonian God is the God of the ages. But God is not limited to being God of the ages. He transcends the ages because He has no beginning or end. The ages have a beginning and an end. After the
purpose of the ages is completed, God is to become all in all. (1 Cor. 15) From Him, through Him, and to Him are all things (Romans 11). God bless.
