Just a side note:
The helping verb "shall" is not a normal future tense in the Scriptures. Today in English we [should properly] use "shall" for first person singular or plural verb forms (I shall, you will, he will, we shall, you will, they will). In Biblical English, "shall" takes on a stronger emphasis than simply future tense.

Do a comparison of "I will" to "I shall" and "we will" to "we shall". Also note that "shall" and "will" are both used with second person (thou shalt /thou wilt and ye shall / ye will) and third person (he shall / he will and they shall / they will).
