Acts 3:18

But the things which God foreshowed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.

'THAT HIS CHRIST SHOULD SUFFER'-(Luke 24:46). Thus anyone who reads or studies the O.T. and interprets the messages of the prophets that the Messiah would rule over an earthly kingdom, has clearly mis-interpreted the O.T.

'HE THUS FULFILLED'-

Point to Note:

Notice how God is even able to use human rebellion in achieving His purposes. And carefully note that God can use the unreasonableness, stubbornness and selfishness of people to fulfill His purposes. We need to tell those individuals who are defiantly setting themselves up against God in our own time--that their efforts are going to be futile. They can't cause God to vanish, they can't change reality, and even in their stubbornness, God can still use them--if for nothing else as. prime example of how mixed up and foolish. person can become when they try to live without God (Romans 9:17).

And also note how Peter completely sees no contradiction between God's ability to know the future and human accountability and free will.
