Does God Know Everything? Does He Know the End of a Thing from the Beginning?
1) Direct Answer
Yes. God knows everything, and He knows the end from the beginning.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says, “I am God… declaring the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:9-10).
- “Known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world” (Acts 15:18).
- “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him” (Hebrews 4:13).
- “God is greater… and knoweth all things” (1 John 3:20).
- “Thine eyes did see my substance… in Thy book all my members were written” (Psalm 139:16).
- “Whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate” (Romans 8:29), and He “works all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:11).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
Now notice, prophecy proves it. God doesn’t guess—He declares. He is the Alpha and Omega, not learning as He goes. You see, He foreknew and therefore could predestinate, choose, and guide history without being the author of sin. He can set life and death before man, let man make a choice, and still know exactly how it will turn out because He saw it before the world began.
4) Reinforcing Statement
It’s not uncertainty with God. He’s the one true God, all-knowing, and He has already seen the finish before the first step was taken.

God keeps His Word
57-0407M §79
Now, Jesus never come to earth just to say, "I will have preachers go out and preach some, tell them about what I done, and maybe somebody will feel sorry for Me and get saved." God don't run His office like that. There God at the beginning knowed exactly who would be saved. Jesus come to save those that God knew would be saved. He wasn't willing that they'd be lost. But to be God, He knowed who would be lost and who would be saved. Therefore He could predestinate ... not predestinate... By foreknowledge He could s...

Now, visions is something beyond anything that anyone can explain. It's the infinite God who knows the end from the beginning, and predict the end; and tell what the end will be because He knowed every thing, and still knows everything. There is nothing that He doesn't know. And He doesn't know any more now than He did at the beginning, because He's infinite. Do you believe God is infinite? If He isn't, He isn't God. So then, just think. Here's just... You can't break down infinity. It's just like... To be infinite...

We are living in the days that God spoke would come. And we're living in the last days. And we're living in a time, and men... Regardless of what we try to think about it, God's Word says that we are predestinated. That's right. And what God has called, will come to God; and what God doesn't call, will not come to God. God calls, and they refuse. He calls; they refuse... Now, I don't say God condemns anybody, He's just not willing that all ... any should perish, but all might come to repentance. But in order to be...

Making a Way
56-0304 §24
God didn't do that. Jesus died for one purpose: and that was to save those who God foreknew would be saved. That's right. God knew there was going to be somebody saved, and there had to be a preparation, or a way made for them to be saved. If there wasn't, salvation wasn't possible. So, God foreknowing that people would be saved, knowing who they were, He had to lay a plan down. Now, you'd say to me, "Brother Branham, then God knows exactly who will be saved?" Correctly. "Well, why does He say, He's not willing tha...
