Sorry, but its Aion in Koine Greek , meaning eon or era/age as in a very long period of time
Aion also means word in a secondary ( at best) sense. In this passage you might be right, in the passage quoted before in 2 Peter ( I believe) which talks about the very elements being set afire, however, this has to be world or cosmos ( I do not have the passage in front of me in either Koine or English but by context it is obvious it is not talking of Age):tsk:

and earth
and the works in it will be discovered .....2 peter 3;10 Heavens are sometimes known as ruling powers,so the ruling powers of man will pass away and Gods heavenly kingdom goverment will be the only power left.... Daniel 2;44 yes manmade goverments will be removed from their places,
(Isaiah 13:13) That is why I shall cause heaven itself to become agitated, and the earth will rock out of its place at the fury of Jehovah of armies and at the day of his burning anger.
(Matthew 24:35) Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away .......yes it is (this system of things )that satan and man has build up , that will be dissolved but the litral planet will remain for ever.
