'Future' in the Bible

However, in the future the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea which can be neither measured nor numbered. Although it was said to them, "You are not my people," it will be said to them, "You are children of the living God!"

However, in the future I will allure her; I will lead her back into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

Afterward, the Israelites will turn and seek the Lord their God and their Davidic king. Then they will submit to the Lord in fear and receive his blessings in the future.

The punishment of Ephraim has been decreed; his punishment is being stored up for the future.
