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.

The book of Exodus, part 2
55-1006E §19
The word predestinate, that's not a good word to use. The word foreknowledge is better. Predestination looks back to foreknowledge and foreknowledge looks to destination. But God not making, set it in order, a little hole that you have to go through and can't go no other way; but God in order to be God, He knowed the end from the beginning, so He could predict it, and set things in order to happen. Now, notice. By God's wise providence, He had revealed by spiritual revelation that this was going to be His chosen ve...
Who is this Melchisedec?
65-0221E §25
Notice. Those who have, tonight, eternal life, was with Him and in Him, in His thinking, before there ever was an angel, star, cherubim, or anything else. That's eternal. And if you have eternal life, you always was. Not your being here, but the shape and form that the infinite God... And if He isn't infinite, He isn't God. God has to be infinite. We are finite; He is infinite. And He was omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. If He isn't, then He can't be God. Knows all things, all places, because of His omnipre...
The Unchangeable God
60-0326 §5
There are many things, and practically all things change. Time changes, people changes, weather changes, nations changes; but God is unchangeable. He does not change. He is the same all times. God is an infinite God. I do not believe that there would be any word could explain the word, or any way to explain the word infinite because it's the infinity. He has never had a beginning, or He'll never have an end. Therefore when God is called on the scene to act, or to make a decision, the way that He acts or the decisio...
Modern events are made clear by prophecy
65-1206 §99
Am not I, tonight, trying to tell you, word by word even to the position, the place, the names, the numbers, everything else, and all the signs, times, and everything, that we're right at the end time? Surely you can see what I'm talking about, see. Look! That's so plain it should need no more identification. He said, when He was here on earth, "Search the Scriptures, in them you think you have eternal life, they testify what I am (see), who I am." Notice, He begin with Moses the prophet, a prophet, Deuteronomy 18:...
Trying to do God a service without it being God's will
65-1127B §60
Now, but God has His Word set, and has in all ages. His foreknowledge has caused Him to set in the church, and in the people, certain things that He did from the beginning. And then the gospel that's being preached to that age is only revealed to that certain people. The rest of them don't see it. See? "Thank thee, Father, thou has hid these things from the eyes of the wise and prudent, and reveal it to babes such as would learn." That's predestination. Not that He did it by, you say, "I'll choose you, and don't ch...
