'Future' in the Bible
and if we have not done it from fear of this thing, saying, In future your children will speak to our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah the God of Israel?
but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we might do service to Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in future, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.
And we said, If it shall be that in future they so say to us and to our generations, we will say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice, but as a witness between us and you.
but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
for there shall be no future to the evil man; the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
In the future Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of what is really life.
