1 Corinthians 2:7

who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in this last age for your sake,

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.

God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”

Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”

This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”

“At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.

Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
