Scripture affirms that God has predetermined all events, including both good and evil actions (Isaiah 46:10).
The understanding of God's predestining power comes from an examination of various biblical texts. Isaiah 46:10 states, 'I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done.' This indicates God's control over every event in history, including the actions of men. Romans 9:21-23 further illustrates this reality, where God’s sovereign right as the potter over clay is demonstrated, forming vessels for honor and dishonor to display His glory and wrath. The notion of limited predestination contradicts the biblical portrayal of God's complete governance over all creation and events, whether good or evil.
