What the Bible says about Your Generations
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Exodus 21:6

How long is forever in this case, when we are talking about human beings? A human being cannot serve another human being any longer than he lives. A definition begins to arise for how the Bible uses the term. Biblically, forever means "as long as the factors which set the conditions exist."

In Exodus 12:14, 17, and in the Festival chapter, Leviticus 23:14, 21, 31, and 41, forever, in reference to the holy days, is for as long as "your generations." Are the generations of Israel still continuing? Indeed they are.
