christians, how exactly do you define or understand your word eternity?

Question:

Answer: an age Not entirely forever and ever. If it were than we would still be under old testament laws that were to be established forever and forever among other things. Jews understood life to be a circle. There is no eternity but only a start of an age and the end of the age. Then a new age begins. That's why I think it is interesting that God says he is the beginning and the end, of what? An age. If we were to exist as eternal beings as it is understood today it would be boring. A perfect state of being and timelessness means no progress, no change, no moving, no thought, etc. The temperature absolute zero is a good example of eternity and perfection.
