Let me give you a commentary from John Wesley on this : Eph 1:4 - As he hath chosen us - Both Jews and gentiles, whom he foreknew as believing in Christ, Eph 1:5 - Having predestinated us to the adoption of sons - Having foreordained that all who afterwards believed should enjoy the dignity of being sons of God, and joint - heirs with Christ. According to the good pleasure of his will - According to his free, fixed, unalterable purpose to confer this blessing on all those who should believe in Christ, and those only.

Wesley is wrong on foreknowledge. Can you show me any indication in the text itself (and you can use ALL of Ephesians 1 in this) where the word "foreknowledge" is used in any form or even hinted at?

However, even in what Wesley said, election came prior to the foundation of the world. He just got the basis of that election wronger than 2+2=5.
