The future was calculated
Events can be foretold in the calculational sense. If man can predict the orbit of satellites (an "event") with some degree of accuracy through calculation using Keplerian two-line elements, why not God? Still, I wouldn't argue that God uses the same kind of mathematics because the kind we have today is limited to accounting physical behavior and is not 100% accurate. In contrast, God's superior form of "mathematics" is precise because it accounts for both the material and the immaterial, i.e. can account for the tendencies of our consciousness, as in the cases of Abraham and King David. In addition, God's almighty intelligence should be able to make use of all the millions and millions of available parameters in His "equation", unlike the inferior mind of man that can only identify and use a few. With these superior "tools" at His disposal, I believe God can predict the future with certainty and precision.
