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
