Do I use the past or future tense?

Hello. I know these sentences do not make sense, but how I do I make them grammatically sound - recite or recited, drive or drove. I believe the past tense is correct but I'm not sure. Please explain your answer.

Recite the Bible, because on the Day of Judgement it will intercede on behalf of those who recite it/recited it.

Drive the car, because it will intercede on those who drive it/drove it.

Anonymous on the Day of Judgement it will intercede on behalf of those who recite it/recited it. Either verb form is OK, but 'have recited' is better than 'recited'. Your other sentence would have the same grammar structure, but it is too silly to consider.
