The Fathers on this verse
St John Damascene An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, Regarding the things said concerning Christ
Some, again, have a prophetic sense, and of these some are in the future tense: for instance, He shall come openly , and this from Zechariah, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee , and this from Micah, Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place and will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth . But others, though future, are put in the past tense, as, for instance, This is our God: Therefore He was seen upon the earth and dwelt among men , and The Lord created me in the beginning of His ways for His works , and Wherefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows , and such like.
