Darrell:
There's a great tool available at the Perseus Project web-site:

Go to:    http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/  and click on Search Tools, find 
the Morphological Analysis and  enter  keklhsetai   in the box to get your 
analysis ---
which turns out to be: futperf ind mid/pass 3rd sg of KALEW.

Now, here's the really handy bit: by clicking on the definition, you are 
taken to the part of Jeffrey A. Rydberg-Cox's Overview of Greek Syntax 
where you will see:
 >>>
Future Perfect

                      The future perfect expresses future time
                      and completed aspect.

                      Uses:
                       Specific Future Perfect: The future perfect denotes 
a completed
                      action in some future time. Smyth 1955
                     H QURA KEKLHSETAI  the door will be kept shut 
Aristoph. Lys. 1071

And by clicking on the reference to Smyth you will be able to read the 
appropriate entry

Marvellous tool, isn't it?  <g>

Enjoy!
