Do you believe that the ages will end, Paul? I believe that aionios is related to the age or pertains to the age. Just as if we might say the adjective of year is yearly. Ex: We will make a yearly profit. It is related to the year but years are limited in duration. I do agree that the end is concealed as far as "aionios" for us because we may not see the end, but I do believe that it is related to a limited time. Thanks for sharing your belief and view. God bless.

I actually believe that Jesus reign does end when He turns over the Kingdom to the Father but haven't studied it much.
Paul
1 Corinthians 15:25-28
"For he(Christ) must reign,till he hath put all enemies under his feet.The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he(the father) is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him(the father) that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."
When God is all in all there will no longer be a need for Christ to rule, because all power and authority will have been put down and all people will be subject to Gods will through Christ so that no one transgresses any more. God will rule all in all, there will be no greater or lesser as all will be one in God. All persons will be sat down in Christs throne even as he is sat down in the throne of the father. Everyone in their own order as will be testified in due time. The first fruits who are his at his coming through the spirit and faith, and then the rest of the world at the fullness of times through his fiery judgments.

I think it is impossible for all ages to end. In reality there would still be an age of all the ages. I also believe aionios to be an adjective and pertains to the age. The difference is that you see it as limiting because the age that it pertains to is. I don't see it that way. I merely see it pointing to the current age and telling us that whatever it is describing will endure that age into the next one.

When God is all in all there will no longer be a need for Christ to rule, because all power and authority will have been put down and all people will be subject to Gods will through Christ so that no one transgresses any more. God will rule all in all, there will be no greater or lesser as all will be one in God. All persons will be sat down in Christs throne even as he is sat down in the throne of the father.

Yes, that is pretty much why I believe there will come an end to the reign also.

I agree with that Paul, but I believe that aionios relates to the ages in general. Time as we know it, I believe is what is referred to as the ages, but I believe that the ages come to an end. God bless.

The word "aion" would be used to refer to plural ages.
I believe that aions means the plural of aion, is this what you mean, Paul? For example in these passages
Titus 1
1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,
2upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, (YLT)
Ephesians 3
10that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,
11according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord,
12in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him, (YLT)
I believe that aionios (the adjective) refers to the ages in general meaning this age and the age or ages to come. God bless.
Paul, Luke 1:33
and he [Jesus] will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdomwillneverend."
