Clayton,
The examples in the Apocalypse are helpful. Based on the comments I've
received, it seems that the proleptic aorist has the force of the
Hebraic Qal perfect, as in Joel 1:6, 7:
"For a nation IS COME upon my land . . . He hath LAID my vine waste"
(KJV).
Is this a valid inference to draw?
Also, would it be okay to translate Jude 14: "The Lord *arrived*
[HLQEN] with his multitudes"?
Is the _sense_ of Jude 14: "The Lord IS COMING [will come] with his
multitudinous band of angels"?
