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.

After a while, they was... You don't believe in getting angry, then let the righteous indignation rise. He begin to feel it coming up on him. He said, "Here, I'm a Jew. I'm circumcised. I've got a right, for this land belongs to us." And I tell you, he wasn't a warrior; he couldn't wait till he learned how to fight. He was a farmer, he wasn't a fighter. But he knowed that he had ... the promise of God was with him. And he was circumcised. And if every man here tonight would realize that the things that you got, div...

Now let's get right into the service now, quickly. Turning now with me, if you will, to the book of Hebrews, and another revelation on the message. We'll speak for just a few moments tonight, the Lord willing. And then while reading the first three verses of Hebrews 7:1 to 3, and then commenting on this. And we don't know what the Lord will do; we do not know. The only thing we do is just believe, watch, pray. Is that right? And believe that "He'll make everything work together for good to them that loves Him," bec...
It wasn't so from the beginning
60-1127M §16
Therefore when God once does anything or makes a decision, as I've often quoted, that He always has to stay with His decision. How that ought to enlighten our faith, see. When God says something, all heavens and earth will pass away, but that cannot pass away. Therefore it should give us character. It should give us faith to take that Word which He has said and with all of our life hold on to it because He cannot change it. It's true. Now, God in the beginning He made all things. He made it in form of seed first. I...
Does God ever change His mind about His Word?
65-0418E §49
Therefore, all these things that had a beginning has to have an end. All sin has to come to annihilation. All sin has to be done away with. Therefore, in the great millennium when the resurrection comes, we will not have to be reborn again by our fathers and mothers, but God, like He did in the beginning, will call man from the dust of the earth and his helpmate with him. That's right. That's the way He did it at the beginning. So therefore God never changes his mind about anything, but He will permit you to go on....

God has His church called, named, set aside. And in the age that she lives in, He'll reveal Himself to her, each and every time. Just as He said in Romans the eighth chapter, that the foreknowledge, or predestination, of God might stand sure, Cain (or I mean Esau and Jacob), before either boy was born, before they even had a chance to make a choice, God said, "I hate Esau, and love Jacob." For He knew what was in them from the beginning. And we know (keep that in mind), He knows what's in your heart. He knows what...
