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.

An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 9:E-43
"The Beginning Of The Creation Of God." That is Who the Lord Jesus says He is. But those words don't mean exactly as they sound to us. Just taking them the way they sound has made some people (in fact multitudes of people) get the idea that Jesus was the first creation of God, making Him lower than Godhead. Then this first creation created all the rest of the universe and whatsoever it contains. But that is not right. You know that doesn't line up with the rest of the Bible. The words are, "He is the BEGINNER or AU...

60-1113 §21
Let us bow our heads now for a word of prayer. Our gracious Lord, as in one way I feel shaky to know that this world is at the end time. I would not know what nation to flee to. There is no more refuge, only looking up. For it is told us, when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, for our redemption is drawing near. O God, I pray for the sinful world today, in its condition, to see how everything is going on. I pray that somehow, Lord, that You'll speak to every heart, every minister, that he might be a...

Now, notice as we're closing. The winds began to blow---poison winds. There's been a whole lot of winds been blowing today, saying, "The days of miracles has past. There's no such a thing as divine healing. The Holy Spirit was for another age, two thousand years ago." Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "It's for you and to your children, and them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." That's how far it goes. That's just as many as it could go. But you see, they've got something they want to...

As well stated, predestination looks back to foreknowledge, and foreknowledge looks on to destiny, see. And God in the beginning could see all things the way it would happen. Therefore, He could tell, this will be this way, and that'll be that way, and this will be this way, and that that way, because by foreknowledge, He wasn't willing that the left side would be wrong, that this would be... He didn't want that to happen. But, being God He knew it would happen that way. So therefore, He could foretell what would b...

Do you believe with all your heart? All right. Here's a lady. Look here, sister. No, I don't know the woman. I suppose we don't know one another, but God does know us. Is that right? We were born years apart, but this is our first time meeting, as I know of, or you know of. This is our first...? You can see her shaking her head. That's right. This is first time I ever seen the woman in my life. But God knows us both. He knowed us since we were children. He knowed us ... He knowed us before the world was ever formed...
