There are 5 instances of verses containing Strong's number 4267. Here they are!
Act 26:5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Same word...foreordained..why predestinate one that is already elected??
It reminds me of the Reagan campaign when he kept talking about "state's rights." The liberals blasted him for using "code words." They said "state's rights is a code word for anti-black." Reagan, in his typical humorous fashion said something like, "Well, please tell me what the code word is for 'state's rights' and I'll use that."
When, in your study, does the word "foreknow" get to mean FOREKNOW. That is a word, you know, that the Greeks USED. You tell me the code word for "foreknow" and I'll pass it on to God so he can put it in the next edition of the greek text.
