Stressful day?
Apparently it came and went:
“And I will show wonders in the heavens . . . before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”

Interesting. I always thought of it as meaning “From now on we will…”

Yeah, no one would use it that way now.

Yeah, me too. But it does seem to have this type of meaning in the context. Here’s another translation:
1 Samuel 7:12 (NIV)
Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
I believe the KJV is used in this devotional Streams in the Desert.

Yes given the present perfect tense in the KJV, it’s also totally clear.

“Thus far” is an almost perfect example of the present perfect tense.Thus far, I have found this thread interesting, so from “Here there to” I shall be following it.
I still often use the word “Thus” is that archaic ?

This is henceforth
It means “until now” I see it used in changes to terms and conditions or contracts.

There are no tenses in Hebrew, only perfect or imperfect. Most of the time they translate it it past tense, sometimes past perfect.

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Something from a commentary on this verse that I really like: moreover, the word “perfect” is not in the Hebrew text, it is there “peace, peace”; which is doubled to denote the certainty of it, the enjoyment of it, and the constancy and continuance of it; and as expressive of all sorts of peace, which God grants unto his people, and keeps for them, and them in; as peace with God and peace with men, peace outward and peace inward, peace here and peace hereafter; and particularly it denotes the abundance of peace that believers will have in the kingdom of Christ in the latter day.

I thought it was from Isiah? Dumb Jews, can’t even interpret their own book.
