Isaiah 46:10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to hear an OV interpretation of the following verse:
God speaking: "Declaring the end from the begining, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying 'My counsel shall stand, And I will do My pleasure'" Is. 46:10
This verse poses little to no difficulty to a classical Arminian, seeing this verse as discussing foreknowledge solely. But the verse does imply significantly meticulous foreknowledge. How does the OV handle this?

Here's what doc writes about that verse on the Christus Victor site (http://www.gregboyd.org/gbfront/index.asp?PageID=460):
To distinguish himself from the dead idols Israel was devoted to, the Lord displayed his ability to do what dead idols cannot do: namely, control the flow of history. Hence the Lord says, “My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill my intention,” which is why he can declare “from ancient times things not yet done.” For God to have this foreknowledge he need only know his own purposes and intentions. Unless one is willing to believe that everything throughout world history (including all evil) reflects God’s purposes and intentions, this verse can’t be used to defend the notion that everything throughout world history is foreknown.
