Perfect foreknowledge is not the same as predestination nor is it, God foreordained to happen. Lots of human future events are predestined and foreordained to happen, since humans are given just the little free will ability needed to fulfill their earthly objective.
Just to let everyone understand here, whenever Scripture uses the word 'foreknowledge' or 'foreknew' it always refers to an individual, not their actions. When God said that he foreknew us, it means that he has known us intimately before we were born. In one of the epistles of John, the apostle says it in another way, "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19). This is what 'foreknowledge' means, a personal knowledge of his people beforehand.
I think people are equating 'foreknowledge' with 'foresight.' These are not the same thing.
Where in scripture do you find: only specific individuals can be predestined and we cannot have general events predestined without specific times and individuals?
I didn't understand your question, could you rephrase it?
