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.

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...

Now, phileo love, like you have for your wife, is a perverted love. Then from that kind of love, it perverts again to lust and on down. And all those kind of things must have an end, to come back to that which had no beginning or end. Now then, agape came all the way down from the highest to the lowest to redeem His creature and bring him back to Himself. Oh, no wonder that people can't even express it. One said: If we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made; And was every stalk on earth a qui...
The Unchangeable God working in an unexpectable way

And then, let us study this just for a moment before approaching on into the Scripture. Infinite is infinity. There's no beginning or no end. He is almighty, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient; knows all things, all places, all times, all powerful. He's God, and He cannot change. Now, I can make a decision, and say it's going to be this way. And I'm finite. I'll have to change, because things come up that I'll have to say, "Well, I was wrong." But God can't do that, because His one decision is that forever. He can...
Abraham and his Seed after him
61-0416 §27
He didn't say, "Now, I'm going to choose you; and I'm going to send you to hell. And I'm going to choose you; and send you to hell." That wasn't God's idea. He wanted all of us to come to heaven, but being God He foreknew who would come and who would not come. Now that clears up Romans 9, 8 and 9 there, where it said that the election of God might stand sure, that before either boy was born (talking of Esau and Jacob), God said, "I love Jacob and hate Esau." See, his foreknowledge let Him know that Esau was nothing...
