Scofield Reference Notes

[1] everlasting God

(1) The Hebrew "Olam" is used in Scripture:

(a) of secret or hidden things (e.g. Lev 5:2 "hidden"; 2Ki 4:27, "hid"; Ps 10:1, "hidest");

(b) an indefinite time or age Lev 25:32, "at any time"; Josh 24:2 "in old time"). Hence the word is used to express the eternal duration of the being of God, Ps 90:2. "From everlasting to everlasting"), and is the Hebrew synonym of the Greek "aion," age or dispensation.

See Scofield Note: "Gen 1:26", note (4).

(2) The ideas therefore of things kept secret and of indefinite duration combine in this word. Both ideas inhere in the doctrine of the dispensations or ages. They are among the "mysteries" of God Eph 1:9,10 3:2-6 Mt 13:11. The "everlasting" God (El Olam) is therefore that name of Deity in virtue of which He is the God whose wisdom has divided all time and eternity into the mystery of successive ages or dispensations. It is not merely that He is everlasting, but that He is God over everlasting things. See, for other names of Deity:

The four divisions of this chapter are,--I. The nature of the cross, its necessity and dignity, sec. 1, 2. II. The manifold advantages of the cross described, sec. 3-6. III. The form of the cross the most excellent of all, and yet it by no means removes all sense of pain, sec. 7, 8. IV. A description of warfare under the cross, and of true patience, (not that of philosophers,) after the example of Christ, sec. 9-11. 1. THE pious mind must ascend still higher, namely, whither Christ calls his disciples …

23. But if moreover any not having charity, which pertaineth to the unity of spirit and the bond of peace whereby the Catholic Church is gathered and knit together, being involved in any schism, doth, that he may not deny Christ, suffer tribulations, straits, hunger, nakedness, persecution, perils, prisons, bonds, torments, swords, or flames, or wild beasts, or the very cross, through fear of hell and everlasting fire; in nowise is all this to be blamed, nay rather this also is a patience meet to …
