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.

It wasn't so from the beginning
60-0306 §10
Now, God is omnipotent, omnipresent. By being omniscient makes Him omnipresent. He knows all things, but God cannot be just like the air is, because God has a dwelling place. God is not a myth. God is a being. God, Jesus, He, God, pronoun, He is a being, therefore He's omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent and infinite. Now, to be infinite, it comes from the word infinite, which there is no limit, see. It's eternal. Eternal is like a ring that goes around and around and you're trying to find where it began or where i...

Now, I want you to notice a minute. When God made Adam and Eve and made the creation and everything, it was beautiful. Why, Adam had control of the powers of God. He could speak anything; it would obey him just exactly like it would God. He had a perfect fellowship with God, walked with Him, and talked with Him, communed with Him---had a fellowship. Then when Adam and Eve... When Eve sinned and they went out of the garden of Eden, it come on down, on down, and the world begin unfolding. And as it unfolded more and...
Thou knowest all things

I know people that's got DD's, and DD's and everything else, and know no more about God than a rabbit would know how to put on snow shoes. I ain't saying that for a joke either. But that's right. Don't know no more about God, than a Hottentot knowed about Egyptian knight. But they don't know God. The only thing they know, they say [unclear words]. This Greek word means that [unclear words] I will take it for what it says right there. I believe it. That's the way it's written, that's the way it's in my heart, that's...
Preparation
53-1111 §21
Now, God, in the beginning when Adam and Eve... Man has always tried to prepare himself. Oh, yes sir, he tries to prepare himself. When he first sinned in the beginning, the first thing you know, he went out and prepared himself an apron--fig leaves--wrapped it around him. He's making himself... Now, the word religion means "covering." And Adam and Eve made themselves a religion, a covering. But when God called them and they had to stand face to face with God, they realized that their man-made religion wasn't no go...

You might impersonate the Holy Ghost and act like you got the Holy Ghost, but if you've got the Holy Ghost, God knows your beginning from the end. That's right! That's a loose way to run business. God don't run His like... He's infinite. He knowed the end from the beginning and knowed everything that'd ever be here. Every fly, every gnat would ever be on the earth, He knowed all about it before the world ever began. So, see, what would He run His business like that for? He doesn't do that. If you once ... if you've...
