I was referring to truth as a constant that is known, ie: God exists,
God loves us unconditionally, etc.
However, some future truths are also known. In Christianity, for
example, the second coming is a known "truth".
Sorry for any confusion on the "future issue". Hell, I don't even know
when I'm going to get "lucky" in the future. Probably my wife does,
though!
