All religions declared their gods' longevity and future reign. Kings and empires did as well. Consider this passage in the Enuma Elish, the ancient Babylonian scriptures which preceded the Genesis creation myths, which declare the everlasting supremecy of the god Marduk: "The Merciful One, with whom it is to bestow life!" May his deeds endure, may they never be forgotten, In the mouth of mankind whom his hands have made!"
