I'm now curious about AT Robertson's comments on this verse:
Rev 5:10 They reign (basileuousin). Present active indicative,
futuristic use, though Aleph P have the future basileusousin (shall
reign) as in 20:6. {from Word Pictures}
Why would he classify this as Present tense? Is there anyone today who
would agree with this classification?
