Predestination comes from the Greek word "proorizō" or Strong's 4309.
In every single case this word is used it applies ONLY to the Planned Parenting on the Part of God.
In other words, the word is only used in the context of when God speaks about how He planned to have children, from way back. Is that not the point of our existence, to become God's children?
Underlined are the references to children of God, in every use of this word "predestined".
Rom 8:29
For whom he did foreknow, he G4309 ➔ also did predestinate G4309 to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Rom 8:30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, G4309 them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
1Co 2:7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained G4309 before the world unto our glory:
Eph 1:5
Having predestinated G4309 us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:11
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated G4309 according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
In every scripture, God has predestined that He will have children.
In a nutshell then, predestination always refers to PLANNED PARENTING on the part of God.
