Some, again, have a prophetic sense, and of these
some are in the future tense: for instance, He shall come
openly Ps. l. 3., and this from
Zechariah, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee Zech. ix. 9., and this from Micah, Behold, the Lord
cometh out of His place and will come down and tread upon the high
places of the earth Mic. i. 3.. But
others, though future, are put in the past tense, as, for instance,
This is our God: Therefore He was seen upon the earth and
dwelt among men Bar. iii. 38., and The Lord
created me in the beginning of His ways for His works Prov. viii. 22., and Wherefore God, thy God, anointed
thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows Ps. xlv. 7., and such like.
