Knowing what has happened is entirely different from knowing future events.
It is difficult to reason that God knows the future and He chooses to stay
uninvolved in it. But how can He know it if He doesn't control it?
But if God can be "surprised" by future events, then "those He foreknew
were predestined" is a hard verse to reconcile with that point of view.
