“Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.”
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh — the now/will be pattern communicates the present reality and the future reversal. Those who hunger now (physical hunger, not merely spiritual desire) will be satisfied; those who weep now (actual weeping, genuine grief) will laugh. The Beatitudes describe the condition of the disciples in the present age and the transformation that the kingdom will bring.
