Why Did Book of Mormon Prophets Speak of Future Events as if They Had Already Happened? Knowhy (#95)

Показать описание

"And now if Christ had not come into the world, speaking of things to come as though they had already come, there could have been no redemption."
Mosiah 16:6

Using past tense verbs or participles to speak of something that will yet happen in the future may seem unusual to modern readers, but this is actually a recognized characteristic of ancient Hebrew prophecy. Abinadi’s grammatical usage is not unique in the Book of Mormon. It can also be found in several other passages in the Bible.
