What word to use for timeless:
There is no word in the English language that describes the timeless life that Christ provided to believers in His immortality.  So, we reference descriptions given in the Bible relating to Christ’s endless vitality: Revelation 1:8, 1:11, 21:6, 22:13.  In these instances the Greek refers to Alpha, #1, defining Christ as the Alpha to indicate that He “is” the beginning and end.  To be the beginning and end He has to be “without” beginning or end.
In ancient vocabulary, the first letter of Greek alphabet, Alpha, corresponds to the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph, which corresponds to the same meaning.  Instances in the Bible mentioning the gift of eternal life given to believers, eternal is also described as having the characteristics of being without beginning or end.  Therefore we can return to using the original word for the Hebrew letter Aleph to describe the timeless life that Jesus has and gave to believers.
So, what Jesus had, lost, and regained He also gave to believers in His immortal existence: Timeless life; past, present, and future.  This concept is not found in the context of any other ancient religious writing.
