How do we know God's foreknowledge supports His sovereignty?

The misconception that God's foreknowledge is merely an anticipation of future events undermines the fullness of His sovereignty. In truth, God’s foreknowledge is not passive observation; it represents His active involvement in the unfolding of history. As stated, God does not merely know what will happen; instead, He has ordained all events to occur according to His pleasure and purpose. Isaiah 45:7 states, 'I form the light and create darkness; I make peace and create evil. I, the Lord, do all these things,' illustrating His control over all aspects of creation. Through this view, we see that His foreknowledge is a manifestation of His love toward His elect, who were known by Him in an intimate way, as reflected in scriptures like John 10:14, where He claims to know His sheep. Therefore, His sovereignty and foreknowledge work hand in hand to accomplish His redemptive plan.
