Punishment On The Nation Of Prophet Abraham (sws)
I think you are mixing up the time periods. The verse you mention in your main post doesn’t mention that time has already completed when Hazrat Ibrahim gave the speech you are mentioning: Indeed you have an excellent example in Abraham and those who followed him, when they said to their people, ‘We disown you and whatever you worship besides God. We renounce you. Enmity and hatred shall endure between us and you, until you believe in the one God.’ [The exception was] when Abraham said to his father, ‘I shall indeed pray for [God’s] forgiveness for you; although I do not have it in my power to obtain anything from God on your behalf.’ They prayed, ‘O our Lord, in You we have placed our trust and to You we turn in repentance and to You is the final return. (Qur’an 60:4)
