A comment on Prophetic Perfect Tense. Parent comment
I think that is simply the past tense (or "prophetic past" if you will). For it to be the prophetic perfect tense, it would be:
> and two towers of New York City are hit by two large metal birds
"are" instead of "were". The examples from the article are this way too. eg:
> my people are gone into captivity
