God's Sovereignty and Foreknowledge
Isaiah: A Topical Look At IsaiahSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses God's sovereignty and foreknowledge in the book of Isaiah, with a focus on the last 27 chapters which emphasize God's power and sovereignty in various contexts. Gregg clarifies that God's sovereignty does not necessarily mean that He interferes with man's free will, but rather He rules over certain elements and delivers people to rulers to judge them. In chapter 48, verse 12-15, God's ability to advance His plans independent of human action is highlighted, emphasizing His sovereignty over creation. Ultimately, Gregg concludes that God is sovereign over all things, including the deity of Christ.
