In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of God's omniscience and His divine plan, indicating His knowledge of events or individuals before they come into existence or before they occur.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, knowledge and foreknowledge were often associated with divine attributes. The concept of foreknowledge in the biblical context is closely tied to God's sovereignty and His eternal nature. Unlike human foreknowledge, which is speculative and uncertain, God's foreknowledge is perfect and certain, rooted in His eternal purpose and will.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4267</b> <i>proginṓskō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">4253</a> <i>/pró</i>, "before" and <a href="/greek/1097.htm">1097</a> <i>/ginṓskō</i>, "to know") – properly, <i>foreknow</i>; used in the NT of "God pre-<i>knowing</i> all choices – <i>and</i> doing so without pre-<i>determining</i> (requiring) them" (G.
