Prophetic Perfect Tense:
The Prophetic Perfect
This article introduces the idea of the “prophetic perfect” tense. There are times when a word is translated in Greek as past tense even though it has yet to happen in the future. It is in the past tense because it is so certain that God sees it as already done. Of course, He is outside of time and from His perspective, it has happened even though it hasn’t happened yet in time. Mind blowing. Most English translations will just translate it with a future tense so it doesn’t confuse us.
