For know, foreknowledge, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Isaiah forty six ten. For foreknow, Strong's gives equals to have knowledge beforehand, the prophecies and events proclaimed in advance, such as in the book of Revelation, will be fulfilled accurately based on God knowing in advance what will happen. As man has memory and can remember what has happened, so God can see the future as clearly as the past by his foreknowledge. According to the Bible, predestination, strong equals to predetermine, decide beforehand, is based upon what God knows will happen. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate Romans eight twenty nine. See also Acts two hundred twenty three and first Peter one two. Several years ago, I was on my way to a friend's house to watch the Seattle Seahawks play football. On the way there, I was surprised to find the game live on my car radio and was able to listen to the first few minutes of the game before arriving at my friend's house. On TV, the game was taped delayed by thirty minutes, so my friend did not know what I knew about the first few minutes of the game. Before it started, I told him that I believed the first kickoff would be fumbled and recovered by the Seattle Seahawks, and that they would then run into the end zone and make a touchdown. My friend looked at me like I was crazy. But that is exactly what happened, and then my friend looked at me in amazement, and I shrugged my shoulders and said, I'm smart. Of course it was not my brains or willpower that made the man fumble the ball or the other team recover it, but I simply knew beforehand, for knew what would happen, and based upon that I could declare the outcome. See predestination. The word for no is not basically the same word as predestinated as some pretend, but for know is made from two Greek words. And under etymology of the word from Strong's, the Greek is progenosko, from pro G four, two, five, three, before, and genosko G one oh nine seven, to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of perceive, feel, for know. And this Greek word is normally translated for know, and one time foreordained. 1 Peter 1 20. Where God knew his son would drink the cup of suffering by surrendering his will to the Father. Not my will, but thine, be done. Luke 22, 42. Christ was not forced to come to earth and die for us, but willingly consented to this. And the saved, elect, are elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate. Romans 8 29.
