A Note on the Absence of Future

Robert Young in his Literal Translation of the Bible argued that there was no future tense in the ancient Hebrew. They could refer to the future with auxiliaries, of course; e.g., "When you come to the fork in the road, go left," but as for a genuine future tense, no. This is why I mentally convert future tenses in the Bible to the present tense. Why read something in the future when it wasn't said in the future? This keeps me from waiting for something that is already here, like Christ for instance.
