21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

Exactly. So those HE foreknew, HE predestined to conform to the image of the Son of GOD.
However, there is a passage where HE says HE didn't know a people.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

What I have always learned is that "image" and "likeness" meant God created man (Adam) to be His Godly representative on earth. God gave Adam authority over other living things on earth and was expected to carry out God's will on earth. I remember one of my Sunday school teachers saying it was like God made Adam a "manager" on earth but Adam still reports to God obviously. And of course Eve was created of Adam later, etc. So when the Fall happened, I don't think it meant that God made a mistake. "Image" and "likeness" didn't mean Adam was like God in every way because there was always only one God. Adam and Eve just made human mistakes like we all do.
