Where? Which places? This is the question I have been asking for weeks

which are of little relevance, and that one about the Levitical 
priesthood having terminated, which is based on Christian theology.

Indeed. Let's get back to the subject. Where is the evidence that `olam 
(with future reference) does not mean "for ever"?
