Acts 4:25-28
25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: ‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things? 26 The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against His Christ.’ 27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
God is in absolute control of history. He allowed plots to kill His Son because He planned it ahead of time. God did not just know how it would happen and then write it down ahead of time, He determined it to be so and then wrote it down. So it seemed the world had the upper hand against Christ, but God's mighty hand created all who oppose Him, and His will was done on the cross and up from the grave. This should quiet us in awe and wonder.
