Have a look at these two definitions. The first one, eternity as 'infinite or unending time'. Our river of time idea, extended off forever. Which is impossible nonsense - in this definition, eternity is apparently what you get if you wait long enough, except there would always still be more 'time' to come, so it never actually arrives. (And rivers don't 'flow' anyway.) The second definition is the one that's been forgotten, and is what I think eternity means in reality. Timelessness, the parts of our lives every single day that don't change. Time is about change, not about flowing.
