Some translators say the kingdom of the living God "will never end" while
others say His kingdom will endure "until the end." Is it splitting hairs
to make a distinction between something that never ends and something that
endures until something else ends? Or is AD COWF (to the end) simply an
idiomatic expression meaning something that never ends? Any thoughts?
