Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
English “he did foreknow” was mistranslated some 410 years ago by a flesh translator from Greek verb 4267 proginosko meaning to cause to know before others in the case of the grammatical subject, in this context being God. In the grammatical object’s case Greek verb 4267 proginosko means to be caused to know before others.
English “did predestinate” in Romans 8:29 above and 8:30, were mistranslated from Greek verb 4309 proorizo which was better translated into “ordained” in “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory”. God ordained before the world began the criteria by which his “election” a.k.a. “saints” would be “chosen” but the “election” were not “chosen” until this earth age pursuant to God’s will. Greek verb 4309 proorizo is from a compound of Greek preposition 4253 pro meaning fore in the sense of coming before or prior to someone or something else and Greek verb 3724 horizo which was translated into English “hath determined” and “he hath ordained” in Acts 17:26-31 “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us” “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring” “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device” “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent” “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead”. English “us” and “we are” emboldened in Acts 17:26-31 above were correctly translated from Greek pronoun 2257 hemon and Greek verb 2070 esmen respectively, reconfirming that Paul and other bible writers are among God’s “seven thousand” “election” and “he hath appointed a day” in Acts 17:31 above is the “Lord’s day” which is the “thousand years” in which God’s “election” will cause “the rest” “to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
The “many brethren”of Romans 8:29 above are God’s “election” “saints” whom God has “chosen” to be “the sons of God” in Romans 8:14 pursuant to Romans 8:21 “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”.
