They were all predestinated to do what they did even though God reproved them for it." Acts 2 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

Now, what does that have to do with Numbers?

I also see the word foreknowledge of God, gee, do you think God foreknew what their free will decisions would be in rejecting their Messiah?

Your ignorance is absolutely ASTOUNDING

Yours, sad to say, isn't.

No, the text does not say anything about "free will decisions". You're, once again, adding that into the text because you don't like what it says.

1 Peter 1
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

The Scriptures are CLEAR that Jesus Christ's work was pre-determined by the will of God and the hands that carried out the murder of the Christ were "wicked".

(aside to ponnyespresso: The Greek word for "foreknow" is proginosko. It is precisely the same word the KJV translates "foreordained" in 1 Peter 1)

"Yours, sad to say, isn't."

Oooooooooh! Goooooood come back! LOL!
