What is the wisdom behind the occurrence of Allah's Beautiful Names in the past tense in the Holy Quran, such as: "And Allah was ever Knowing and Wise," and "And Allah was over all things competent"?

The meaning of the noble verses, such as: (And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise), and (And Allah is ever, over all things, competent), is that Allah Almighty is characterized by these attributes continuously and perpetually. The verb "kāna" (كان) in the Holy Quran and in Arab speech conveys the meaning of continuous time without interruption, not merely to inform about the past. This is further supported by other verses and evidence from Arabic poetry.
