Exegesis
Each result clause employs the periphrastic future é-stai {ἔσται | é-stai} ‘it will be’ plus a perfect passive participle (de-de-mé-non {δεδεμένον} ‘having been bound’; le-lu-mé-non {λελυμένον} ‘having been loosed’) to indicate that earthly actions are regarded as already accomplished in the heavenly realm.
In context — Matthew 16:19
I will entrust to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in the heavens.
