5774 Tense - Present

    The present tense represents a simple statement of fact
    or reality viewed as occurring in actual time.  In most cases
    this corresponds directly with the English present tense.

    Some phrases which might be rendered as past tense in English
    will often occur in the present tense in Greek.  These are
    termed "historical presents," and such occurrences dramatize
    the event described as if the reader were there watching the
    event occur.  Some English translations render such historical
    presents in the English past tense, while others permit the
    tense to remain in the present.
