This verse is an example of prophetic present tense , speaking of things that have not yet happened as though they have. Romans 4:17 KJV , Isaiah 46:10 , Isaiah 14:24 , Isaiah 41:4 When you consider this Yahweh, who is not bound by time or anything else, actually is experiencing all of time simultaneously. Yahweh speaks and HIS words do not return to HIM void but instantly accomplish HIS will. Isaiah 55:11 , Isaiah 57:15 KJV Albert Einstein once said, “ God created time so that everything didn’t happen at once.” This is true.
