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.

I know
60-0417S §39
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...
Does God change His mind?
65-0427 §66
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...
The End-time Sign Seed
62-0319 §19
A very odd little scripture reading... When you go home, I'd like for you to read the chapter. Amos, the 3rd chapter, and the 7th verse---odd, strange setting for the text. But you know, God does things kind of strange and odd; works in peculiar ways, mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Now, the text that I would like to use is this: The "End-Time Sign Seed." And as I've just told you yesterday, preaching...
Sirs, we would see Jesus
64-0318 §11
Now, if I would go to different ideas that we've had... And, remember that God never does anything outside of what He's promised to do, see. He always makes a promise; then He comes to fulfill it. God at the beginning, knowing the end from the beginning 'cause He was infinite... We all know that. He's omnipresent, omnipotent, and infinite. Now, if He's infinite, then He knowed all things. And now ... and omniscient. So notice, then He 'lotted his scriptures down through the ages to come. And then, when this age rol...
And knoweth it not
65-0815 §45
There's nothing can make it run but Him. Whether it's God the Father, God the Holy Ghost; whether it's angels, principalities, powers, dominions, whatever it is---all things run by Him. All things consist by Him. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, [Who is the beginning!] the first-born from the dead; [that is raised up when He came to redeem] that in all things he might have the preeminence. By preeminence---you know what it means? That's over all. He's over all things that was ever c...
