Definition of Alam or awlam:
- eon or age (noun)
- eonian, that is of the eon or of the age (verb)
05957 םלע 'alam (Aramaic) aw-lam'
The root word from which olam/owlam is taken is the Aramaic word, alam or awlam. Olam and alam are synonyms for the New Testament words, aion, and aionios.
Problems with alam:
Problems arise whenever anyone goes beyond Scripture. That is, when anyone adds to Scripture or takes from Scripture. A theology has been developed that goes beyond the Bible on the one hand by saying such things as "there is no hell," "there is a hell, but hell is not all that bad," "God would never correct anyone through punishment," or "all ways lead to God." I'm sure that there are other examples of this extreme view. On the other hand, a robust theology has developed beyond the Bible that makes the Scripture conflict with itself. This is a problem if we are to believe the entire Bible. This extreme dogma causes some theologians to find extra-biblical reasons to rationalize away the Scriptures that plainly say such things as, "As in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive." Some people do not, as a result, believe in the restitution of all things, which is also a plain teaching of Scripture just as Hell is a plain teaching of Scripture. Sometimes, the best answer is, "We believe it all, but God has not yet told us how He is going to do this."
Without a volume of cleverly deceitful human rationalism of the actual message of the Bible, the following types of false beliefs would not be accepted by anyone: "all ways lead to God" "There are ways, other than Christ, to God." "There is no hell" "Hell is not that bad" "Hell is enternal" "Hell is very short" "God's punishments are not remedial" "There will never be a restitution of all things"
Ezra 4:15 That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old <05957> time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
