πρόγνωσις. A knowledge of persons and events before they exist. It is one of the divine attributes of God, by which persons were foreknown of Him and events determined. It is a capacity altogether beyond the mind of man to grasp. Acts 2: 23; Rom. 8: 29; Rom. 11:
2; 1 Peter 1: 2. The verb is also translated 'know before,' 2 Peter 3:
17; and 'foreordain.' 1 Peter 1: 20.
