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.

Did you ever read over there in Romans 9, how He said before either boy was born, Esau and Jacob, said, "I hate one and love the other one." How could He be just in doing that? By foreknowledge He knew what a rascal Esau was, see, and He could predestinate. Now just say ... set up a word "predestinate" is not a good word to use; it's "foreknowledge." Because He wouldn't just deliberately turn you because that He wanted you to go away. He's not willing that any of you should perish, but by foreknowledge He knows wha...

I'll make my last visit to Phoenix some day. This may be it, all I know. And the last time the gospel will be preached over this pulpit, this may be it, I don't know. We're looking awful close to the end time. Israel has come back to her homeland, the last sign that was given. I was looking at a picture the other night, where they're packing their old, crippled, off the ships and things, coming in. They said, "Have you come back to the homeland to die?" Said, "No, we come back to see the Messiah." Don't worry, the...

If we had time to turn over here in Romans, the 8th chapter, and you could read it. Romans, the 9th chapter, many other places in the Bible. Ephesians, the 1st chapter, And you can see that the election of God, that it might stand sure, God gave the covenant unconditionally. He sent Jesus to die for those who He foreknew, see. Not just to say, "Well, you say God don't know whether she will be saved or not." God knowed that you'd be saved, or whether you would or not, before the world ever begin, or He wasn't God. D...

It taken those people who had seen Him open the eyes of the blind, seen Him stand there and perceive the very thoughts that was in the people's hearts. "How didn't He know," they'd say, "that them were coming after Him? How did He know... ? Why didn't He know Judas would betray Him? Why did He know the soldiers were coming up the mountain there with staves and swords and everything to get Him, if He could perceive their thoughts?" See, the devil was working on them, putting them on an ash heap, for they wanted to g...

Now for the audience: I do this not for a show, friends. Now, stop thinking that. Remember, I get your thoughts. How many knows that's true, and sees it? Here is a woman that I've never seen. I don't know one thing about the woman. We're probably born miles apart, and years apart. And here, we stand here tonight. We're strangers to each other. I don't know... Now I have no idea. Here, here is, here is St. John 4 again. A man meets a woman. Now, I'm not Jesus, and she's not that woman. But here is just similar. And...
