That word in Matthew 28:20 is aion - the root word of the other and he admits it can mean a period of time look:

165 aiwn aion ahee-ohn’

from the same as 104; TDNT-1:197,31; n m

AV-ever 71, world 38, never + 3364 + 1519 + 3588 6, evermore 4, age 2, eternal 2, misc 5; 128

1) for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity
2) the worlds, universe
3) period of time, age

The word I was asking about was "anionios"

166 aiwniov aionios ahee-o’-nee-os

from 165; TDNT-1:208,31; adj

AV-eternal 42, everlasting 25, the world began + 5550 2, since the world began + 5550 1, for ever 1; 71

1) without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be
2) without beginning
3) without end, never to cease, everlasting

Stong never admits that it can mean only a period of time.

There is a difference in meaning according to Strong - thus
the different forms.
