Since God knows EVERYTHING knowable He can have an amazing amount of foreknowledge.
For instance....
God not only knows what we are doing currently He also knows are intentions as well. And since He knows our intentions and our hearts and our personalities and our mental states and our physical limitations etc etc etc.... He can have incredible accuracy in knowing our futures ESPECIALLY our near futures.
With this knowledge it was easy for God to predict the near future actions of Peter and Judas etc.
But God sovereignly chose not to know perfectly and exhaustively our futures and therefore give us a true functioning freewill of our own. Which explains why God didn't "expect" Israel to reject Him.
It isn't that God couldn't have created us with our futures set, because He absolutely could have done that. Yet it is that He didn't want to create us with our futures closed.
He chose to bless us with a will of our own and not a will of His ordaining through perfect foreknowledge.
In other words...
It isn't that God is too weak to know the future.... instead.... God is so strong He was able to leave the future open, and still be in control.
