from this time onward
Starting now, and for all future time after this moment.

henceforth, [someone] will [verb]
Error frecuente:
Learners often confuse 'henceforth' with 'therefore'. 'Henceforth' talks about time (from now on), while 'therefore' gives a reason (so, for that reason). Another common mistake is using 'henceforth' in casual conversation, where 'from now on' is more natural.
