The Hebrew word "olam" signifies a distant time or horizon, often misconstrued as "eternity" in English. It encompasses long durations, but lacks a single equivalent for "eternity" in Classical Hebrew. Various applications of olam reveal its context-dependent meanings, limited to a person's lifetime or specific ages rather than infinite time.
God will, however, disclose the Advent of His Son to His faithful servants who have a heart like Daniel’s (as displayed in his prayer in the ninth chapter), those who faithfully and willingly strive to keep God’s commandments with a repentant heart, those who “do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”[21] God stated plainly upon whom He takes notice: “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.”
