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.

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...

By being infinite, then He knows all things: knowing every time a gnat bats its eye; know every bumblebee, where he goes into the comb to get his honey; He knows every sparrow that sits in the tree; He knows every thought that's in your mind, because He is infinite and omniscient. That is, He ... not only is He infinite, He's omniscient, He knows everything. But He is a being. God is a being, and out of this being begin to bring forth these.

And here's a little thought for you: everything that had a beginning has an ending; but it's the things that did not have a beginning that doesn't end, the only things that's eternal. Therefore, I'd like to ask the question: How could we ever make sense out of the word of the eternal sonship of God? If He was a son He had a beginning. If He was eternal son, how could He be a son and be eternal? for son is a product of something. But if He was ... could not be an eternal son. There's no such a thing: eternal son of...
