In Hebrew, the word, forgivenes, is quite interesting. סְלִיחָה cĕliychah is the word forgiveness in Hebrew. The first letter is "Samekh". It looks like circle, which can be a symbol of forever. When Jesus told Peter how many times he has to forgive someone, he said seventy times seven in Matthew 18:22. Seventy times seven is four hundred ninety, which is indicated in Daniel four hundreds ninety week.
Daniel 9:24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
This can be a clue from Jesus to disciples about the principle of two sides of forgiveness; at first, our frogiveness is done through the love that Jesus poured out on us at the cross and second, through the justice will be done on earth at the end. I think it is not far off from today. We can rest on God's full love on us and His full control.
