omniscient through existing outside of time, and thus able to see all of it
God has plans for the future that shall be implemented no matter what, as to God being omniscient, i.e. seeing all future, that is just not true. The future is not set in diamond cement. If God wants anything to happen, it must be done by planning and power. This is possible to demonstrate by scripture.
Abraham's covenant:
Genesis 13: 14 And Jehovah said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward and southward and eastward and westward: 15 for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may thy seed also be numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it.
Genesis 22:18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
The hard explanation, but the inspired one
Galatians 4:
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? 22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. 23 Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise. 24 Which things contain an allegory: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. 25 Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. 27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: For more are the children of the desolate than of her that hath the husband. 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, so also it is now. 30 Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman. 31 Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.
In this explanation by Paul, those of fleshly Israel are not Israel, and a fleshly Jew is not a Jew, but those born of spirit are Israel and Jew though they might be born in the flesh as Gentile.
Romans 9: 6 But it is not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel: 7 neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
Romans 2:
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
While all scripture was inspired and only fleshly Jews were used for this, we are here told that those who are of Israel, and Jews, are the ones who are so after spirit, be they Gentile or Jew -- these are the children of Abraham, the ones of promise.
The subject is obviously difficult. However, when you read the prophecies of the OT, not the historical accounts, you have to remember that these now apply to spiritual Israel, not to fleshly Israel.
