Prophetic perfect tense

Hey, can you explain why you removed this? In the Hebrew it uses past tense to indicate something that will surely happen (albeit with the caveat "if"). JediMasterMacaroni (Talk) 02:24, 26 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Seeing this after I made an identical edit – sorry for not checking first!
I removed the same example because it is not in the prophetic perfect tense *in English*, which is the language on that page.
If the page should also include examples that are that tense in other languages, that should be clarified somehow (e.g., with a note saying “in the original Hebrew”). As-is it‘s more confusing than illustrative. BobbingPebble ( talk) 04:39, 28 December 2023 (UTC) reply
