I am sorry to have to say this, but this talk of a "hidden" period of
time is in my opinion a symptom of a basic misunderstanding of the
workings and nature of the Hebrew language. The rest is theology.

Hello Isaac:
The absence of the little phrase "עד עולם ", implies
unconditionality in its presence, not.
Witness:
כי את כל הארץ אשר אתה ראה לך אתננה
ולזרעך עד עולם
genesis 13:15
and;
ויעל עליהם את מלך כשדים ויהרג
בחוריהם בחרב בבית מקדשם ולא חמל על
בחור ובתולה זקן וישש הכל נתן בידו
2 chronicles 36:17
The land was promised to abraham עד עולם , or for a
conditional or hidden period of time. That time period subsequently
proved to be from circa 1400 b.c., to circa 600 b.c.

I notice that the promise given to NOAX (Gen. 8:22) is conditional,
without AD OLAM or LE-OLAM:
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease
עד כל ימי הארץ זרע וקציר וקר וחם וקיץ
וחרף ויום ולילה לא ישבתו
