Hi Michael,

For Rev 10:7, καὶ ἐτελέσθη (ETELESQH) τὸ μυστήριν τοῦ θεοῦ, NIV, for example, 
gives "the mystery of God will be accomplished." 


Without getting into a grandiose discussion of the aorist tense, the NET note 
calls this a "proleptic (futuristic) aorist."  The note implies that Wallace, 
page 564, gives more examples. But if you want to avoid a grandiose discussion 
of the aorist tense, I'm not sure that Wallace is your guy.  :)

Hi, Eddie,

Without getting into a grandiose discussion of the aorist tense, can you tell 
those of us in Rio Linda what a "deictic center" is?

Michael,

What you will not find with an aorist tense verb is an action/event/state future 
to the contextually established deictic center. It will invariable be antecedent 
to the deictic center.

Without getting into a grandiose discussion of the aorist tense, I was hoping
someone could provide me an example or two of an aorist tense-verb being
translated into English (in the Bible) as a future tense verb. I swear I've seen 

some, but I don't know how I can manage my software programs to find them.
Any examples?
 
Thanks all,
Mike
