He could say to Joshua, in Joshua 6:2, "I have given into thine hand Jericho," because to Him it was a present reality, though to Joshua it was future.

If I say to you, "I have given you your Christmas present," then you already have it. In fact, it has "happened." The happening transpired in the past. The fact of the "happening" is a done deed for the present.

God was speaking here of a future event. He's saying that it is already done even though it is a future thing. It is a completed act in the present, even though for Joshua it was yet future.

That's fascinating.

That's fascinating.

Indeed. When I think about it I'm reminded of Isaiah 40:12-14.

[Starwind]

That's fascinating.

Yes.

Now apply that to Revelation.
