    It keeps coming back to the same invention. Did John write about what God foresaw had happened in the future, or did John write about what God would bring about in the future? The Bible clearly teaches God causes His prophecies to come about. He fulfills them. This whole idea of Him looking into the future, like a crystal ball sideshow artist, is fiction, unbiblical and simply wrong.

    Why make plans for the future, if what will happen in the future is known?

    Foreknowledge does not refer to looking into the future, but in using information obtained or established in the past, i.e a predetermined plan, in the present. Thus Jesus died according to God's foreknown plan.
