Ci flo > v b ) theK \ pgeternal 7 y 1 Tim . 1- ^ 7 * With respect however to this word , so incalculably important , 1
cannotbut express a wish that Mr . MassomVrufe were adopted—that when _ ajl adjective it were always rendered by an adjective , and when a substafitive by a
substantive;that the word eternal were appropriated to the ever blessed God , everlasting to the future life and fiappiness of the righteous , and
lasting io other subjects ; and that the sufist ^ ntive when it means an age or ages were invariably ex . pressed by thiswOrd .
With respect to the passage in 2 Thess . I apprehend it will be universally allowed from the very common use of the word and the
verb from which it is derived that the substantive o \ sQ po $ signifies slaughter , loss , ruin and destruction , and death . A believer in
the burning of myriads of human $ ? jngs , recreated solely for this | > jurpose , and in their previous mi . Sery , must be at a loss to conceive why Qocvarof was not used in this
jf > lace , and why the words were added /* from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power ;" or his glorious power , which the paucity of adjectives in the
Hebrew language , of which this is aji imitation , shews is the meaning . When this is explained of the king " dom of Christ , or / the kingdom of heaven , all difficulties vanish at
once , and the clearest light is thrown upon the subject * This is probably the ruin or destruction here alluded to , and as this loss is irremediable—as it never can
be made up , but will leave the t ^ nhappy subject of it through ^ ridtess ages in a state inferior to tufct in which he would have been pta & Aiflie tod obeyea the laws
