Why did Jesus know & tell Peter the way he would Die & bring him glory?Was his Crucifixion prearranged by God?

Question

I do understand that our Lord can see our hearts and so he's able to know what decision we will make like for instance, Judas Iscariot!! He was able to see his Heart & know his plans of betrayal! I also understand how he knew that most of his Disciples would be killed for believing & spreading the gospel!!!! What I don't understand is how he knew specifics of  how Peter would die!!!! How Peter would stretch out his hands and be taken to a place where he doesn't want to go etc.....
 In Peter's case, we are talking about years later So, how could Jesus know, without seeing Peter's heart years later, how he would die?? How was he able to describe his death and give him details in how he was going to die and bring him glory???????? Now, I do know that the scripture was fulfilled through Jesus Christ but Peter's death was not scriptural!! 
Please some good answers from my Christian brothers and Sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks

Not prearranged - just foreknown

Isa 46:9   Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,  


 Isa 46:10   Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

I believe that Jesus was fully God as well as fully human
and God knows everything 

(Jesus knew about His own death- why not Peter's?
He also knew the details of Peter's denial and Judas' betrayal)

nothing is impossible with God:)

That's easy.  If you know that shooting at cops will result in you being shot at and you want to commit suicide by cop, you'll go out and shoot at cops.  There is nothing mystical or magical about the method Jesus used to commit suicide.
