Dear Glenn,
I think one ought to distinguish between knowing the future and telling the
people involved in the predications about the future. A person living in
our spacetime and knowing the future can make predications that we can know
and verify. But God, although He knows the future, does not make
predications because He is not in our spacetime to tell us of His
predications. The interactions between God and the universe and its people
is a difficult one. I am just stating my own guesses. But Scripture is
always correct and our understanding of our experiences has to fit with that
fact.
Take care,
Moorad
