Nir,
You didn't change the subject line or copy much of the message to which you were responding. This would make it very difficult for some members to follow your contribution here. Perhaps adjust the subject line in future? Thanks.

yiqtol is, indeed, used as future indicative in many places. here,
however, i believe it is used as present continuous: although the
prophecy is about the future, the prophet's mourning is in the present.
or still better, as atemporal: it describes a situation without
altogether specifying a time frame.
all these nuances are imperfective.
