Wieland:
 
The MAIN clauses are futures; the WSTE clause is subordinate and therefore derives its temporal nature from the MAIN clause it modifies. In fact, a future tense here would be unexpected, and unnecessary.

What is possibly the reason for using the aorist PLANHSAI and not the
future?
Mark in the parallel (Mk 13:22) uses the present APOPLANAN.
Is this a difference in meaning?
