[American Constitutionalist]

" Yeshua made it plain what would happen to those he never knew. "

Those in whom he knew... i.e. who got saved, born again, those who were chosen IN CHRIST before the foundations of the world.

i.e. predestination.

[TheZMan]

Predestination is where we naturally land when trying to understand the verses you’ve mentioned because we can’t fathom that concept any other way - but predestination cannot be the case. Perhaps being not limited by time it was known whether we would make the choice or not before we made it. It was still our choice to make, however.
