OT-POET.filter - rwp Futuristic:

rwp@1Corinthians:15:26 @{The last enemy that shall be abolished is death} (\eschatos echthros katargeitai ho thanatos\). A rather free translation. Literally, "death (note article, and so subject) is done away (prophetic or futuristic use of present tense of same verb as in verse 24|), the last enemy" (predicate and only one "last" and so no article as in strkjv@1John:2:18|).

rwp@1Thessalonians:5:2 @{Know perfectly} (\akribs oidate\). Accurately know, not "the times and the seasons," but their own ignorance. {As a thief in the night} (\hs klepts en nukti\). As a thief at night, suddenly and unexpectedly. Reminiscence of the word of Jesus (Matthew:24:43; strkjv@Luke:12:39|), used also in strkjv@2Peter:3:10; strkjv@Revelation:3:3; strkjv@16:15|. {Cometh} (\erchetai\). Prophetic or futuristic present tense.

rwp@John:11:11 @{Is fallen asleep} (\kekoimtai\). Perfect passive indicative of \koima\, old verb to put to sleep. Common as a metaphor for death like our cemetery. {I go} (\poreuomai\). Futuristic use of the present tense as in strkjv@14:2|. {That I may awake him out of sleep} (\hina exupnis auton\). Purpose clause with \hina\ and the first aorist active subjunctive of \exupniz\, a late compound (\ex, hupnos\, sleep) for the older \aphupniz\, here only in the N.T. See strkjv@Job:14:12| where also it occurs along with \koimaomai\.

rwp@John:12:15 @{Daughter of Zion} (\thugatr Sin\). Nominative form (instead of \thugater\) but vocative case. The quotation is from strkjv@Zechariah:9:9| shortened. {Thy King cometh} (\ho basileus erchetai\). Prophetic futuristic present. The ass was the animal ridden in peace as the horse was in war (Judges:10:4; strkjv@12:14; strkjv@2Samuel:17:23; strkjv@19:26|). Zechariah pictures one coming in peace. Songs:the people here regarded Jesus as the Prince of Peace in the triumphal entry. {Sitting on an ass's colt} (\kathmenos epi plon onou\). Matthew (Matthew:21:6f.|) does speak of both the ass and the colt having garments put on them, but he does not say that Jesus "sat upon" both animals at once, for \epan autn\ (upon them) probably refers to the garments, not to the colts. When John wrote (end of the century), Jerusalem had fallen. Jesus will lament over Jerusalem (Luke:19:41ff.|). Songs:"Fear not" (\m phobou\).

rwp@Luke:18:24 @{Shall they enter} (\eisporeuontai\). Present middle indicative, futuristic present.

rwp@Luke:22:11 @{Goodman of the house} (\oikodespoti\). Master of the house as in strkjv@Mark:14:14; strkjv@Matthew:10:25|. A late word for the earlier \despots oikou\. {I shall eat} (\phag\). Second aorist futuristic (or deliberative) subjunctive as in strkjv@Mark:14:14|.

rwp@Mark:9:9 @{Save when} (\ei m hotan\). Matthew has "until" (\hes hou\). {Should have risen} (\anasti\). Second aorist active subjunctive. More exactly, "should rise" (punctiliar aorist and futuristic, not with any idea of perfect tense). strkjv@Luke:9:36| merely says that they told no man any of these things. It was a high and holy secret experience that the chosen three had had for their future good and for the good of all.

rwp@Revelation:9:6 @{Men} (\hoi anthrpoi\). Generic use of the article (men as a class). {Shall not find it} (\ou m heursousin auton\). Strong double negative \ou m\ with the future active indicative according to Aleph Q, but \heursin\ (second aorist active subjunctive) according to A P (either construction regular). The idea here is found in strkjv@Job:3:21; strkjv@Jeremiah:8:3|. "Such a death as they desire, a death which will end their sufferings, is impossible; physical death is no remedy for the \basanismos\ of an evil conscience" (Swete). {They shall desire to die} (\epithumsousin apothanein\). Future active of \epithume\, a climax to \ztsousin\ (they shall seek), to desire vehemently. Paul in strkjv@Phillipians:1:23| shows a preference for death if his work is done, in order to be with Christ, a very different feeling from what we have here. {Fleeth} (\pheugei\). Vivid futuristic present active indicative of \pheug\. Even death does not come to their relief.
