Phil,
ESOMAI PEPOIQWS is a future perfect periphrastic construction. I believe
if you look in your grammar under periphrastic constructions this will
become clearer to you. Though I do believe the text you selected is a
rarity and there are very few of these future perfect constructions in
the NT. I could be wrong on that however. I look forward to hear other
comments on this particular text.
Sincerely,
Michael Hayes
