It Is About Time (Part4)

The phrases "from olam" and "to olam" and "from the olam" and "to the olam" are not common in the Old Testament. The very use of “min”, the Hebrew for “from”, and “ad” for the English word “to” demands a distinguishable difference between two entities. In respect to time (as of course to space) one may speak of passing 'to' and 'from' a single entity (to-X-from); but to go 'from' one point or period 'to' another logically requires two entities (from X to Y). Understanding this basic grammar will impact our doctrine significantly. Today Differing Things looks at the significance of these words.
