Will Time Ever End?

I don't think that time will ever end. One reason is that even if God did away with the universe and reverted to a state of absolute changelessness, it would always remain the case that God did create time and that he once existed with the universe. It seems to me that this is an irrevocable decision on God's part to enter into time. But in any case, on the Judeo-Christian view, the universe, in the new heavens and the new Earth, will go on forever. We are not going to be immortal souls, but we are going to be resurrected people with resurrection bodies that are dynamic and endowed with superhuman properties such as Jesus exhibited in his brief resurrection state while on Earth. So time will definitely go on forever from the Judeo-Christian point of view.
