Eternity. I. Traditionally, Eternity has been understood in two ways: Eternity1: sempiternity, i.e., existing at each time. For example, perhaps energy/mass is eternal in this way. A sempiternal thing is in time, but has no beginning and no end in time. Eternity2: eternity proper, i.e., totally independent of time because a thing eternal in this sense is not in time, doesn't exemplify temporal items, and doesn't involve temporal items. To these two traditional notions, one might add: Eternity3: a thing eternal in this sense is not in time, but it depends on time because it involves temporal items. Here, divine simplicity is expressed in terms of timeless eternity, in which the "simultaneous whole" of God’s existence is neither before nor after the temporal order of our world.
IV. WITH THANKS TO:EZIO VAILATI, Ph.D. Encyclopedia of Death and Dying. The Human Soul. It is clear and evident that when the veils that conceal the realities of the manifestations of the Names and Attributes of God, nay of all created things visible or invisible, have been rent asunder, nothing except the Sign of God will remain - a sign which He, Himself, hath placed within these realities. This sign will endure as long as is the wish of the Lord thy God, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth. If such be the blessings conferred on all created things, how superior must be the destiny of the true believer, whose existence and life are to be regarded as the originating purpose of all creation. Just as the conception of faith hath existed from the beginning that hath no beginning, and will endure till the end that hath no end, in like manner will the true believer eternally live and endure.
His spirit will everlastingly circle round the Will of God. He will last as long as God, Himself, will last. Consider the lamp which is hidden under a bushel. Consider the human eye.
