I say it is God who knew at the moment of creation all those who would call on his name, and that there would be few.
Which intrepretation is more accurate, only He knows. I don't think it really matters either way, it comes to the same thing in the end. When one passes from this earth, either the Father knows ones name, or he does not.

The Scripture is explicit when it says we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, not at its foundation.
