the eternal
Beyond all time
The eternal refers to that which exists outside or beyond time—without beginning, end, or change.
In religious and philosophical contexts, it often designates God or ultimate reality: the eternal watches over us.
More loosely, it can mean something that feels endless or perpetually recurring: the eternal struggle between good and evil, the eternal question of what to have for dinner.
