It’s a tense that speaks of the future as if it’s already happened. The only time you’d do this is when God Himself guarantees the results. He’s the source of all truth who keeps every promise. All He declares will come to pass. Hebrews 6:13-20 explains the certainty tied to God’s character: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb.+6%3A13-20&version=ESV https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb.+6%3A13-20&... Here’s some examples of it in use in the New Testament: Ephesians 2 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2&version=ESV https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2&ver... Especially: “ But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,” In Romans 8… https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8&version=ESV https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8&versio... …we see it in v29-30: “For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.” In Colossians 3:1: “ If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.” In Hebrews 12, which has been future tense with exhortation for the audience, we see it talk about future promises like they’ve happened: “But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.“ That’s all for that.
