<< My question centers on the use of the future tense DIELEUSOMAI. ... What 
do you make of this use of the future tense? >>

Perhaps it is a response to the earlier questions: POTE hHXW KAI OFQHSOMAI 
TWi PROSWPWi TOU QEOU; and again: POU ESTIN hO QEOS SOU; The future tense 
notes where he will look for God. And what better place to look than in 
God's own house?
