The notion of having to one day repent for one's trespasses gives even the godless a fright, we assume. A kicker like "You'll regret this!" is redoubled by the certitude of a not-yet-felt emotion-how bad one will surely feel when the now becomes the later.
As Israel gluts the present with death and destruction, the future perfect has become a means of stirring timid Americans out of indifference and into something like sympathy for Palestinian lives.
