Depends on translation. Eternity shows up four times in the ESV, and the word KJV uses for eternity in Is. 57 is actually used 48 times, just translated "forever and ever" etc.
I love these little trivia things. Thanks, Gregg.
Yes, I noticed that translations can change some of the figures. Great you checked! :)
I love facts and figures and such. Thanks! And try to say that last word five times fast.
And what does that longest word mean? Interesting facts! Thanks for sharing. Happy Thursday! ☺
You guessed right, I didn't know. :-) Cool facts!
Is it unchristian to not love Almonds and pistachios? Probably not but I definitely like them. :)
Sorry for my lateness.
