From now there will HAVE been five in one house divided

[tonychanyt]

Berean Literal Bible, Luke 12:

51 Do you think that I came to give peace on the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division. 52 For from now there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

will be
ἔσονται (esontai)
Verb - Future Indicative Middle - 3rd Person Plural

divided,
διαμεμερισμένοι (diamemerismenoi)
Verb - Perfect Participle Middle or Passive - Nominative Masculine Plural

The grammar shows a future perfect periphrastic construct.

On Biblehub, 0 out of 50 versions translates the construct as "there will have been".

This "divided" idea continues in the next verse:

53 They will be divided father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

They will be divided,
διαμερισθήσονται (diameristhēsontai)
Verb - Future Indicative Passive - 3rd Person Plural

Now, the simple future indicative was used and not the compound future perfect construct.

To illustrate the predestination and Co-Reality concepts, I would translate Luke 12:52 as

For from now there will have been five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

Well, this divided house sounds like the division between Christians that has happened thousands of years ago, but also more often today.
