They go on forever and ever. Thus, they are often used as symbols of eternity.
If people were standing in a circle, you could say that "many that are first shall be last, and the last first" (Mark 10:31). There is no beginning and no end, so all people in the circle are equal.
This is also the reasoning behind King Arthur's legendary Round Table. No one can sit at the head of a round table, so all the knights have an equal position in the group.
As it should be in eternity. Existence goes on and on, and God is no respecter of persons. We are all equal in the eternal perspective, so why not now, here?
