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.

Door to the heart
58-0316E §83
God sent Jesus here to call those who by foreknowledge He knew would come. Certainly He did. If He wasn't infinite, He didn't know. But if He was infinite, He knowed every fly, every flea, everything else that'd ever be on the earth, if He's infinite God... How many believes He's infinite? Tell me what infinite means. There wasn't one thing that ever was on the earth, but what He knowed it before the world was created. He said so. Then He knows... He's not willing that any should perish, but His foreknowledge let H...

Because, in the beginning there was nothing but God. And in God was attributes, His attribute to be a Saviour. We know it's so. He is a Saviour, and that was in Him. And there was nothing lost, to be saved. In Him was attributes to be Father, and there was nothing He could father. In Him was attributes to be a healer. There was nothing lost, nothing sick. So the only thing He could do was make man on the basis of free moral agency, knowing that he would do it. God didn't do it, Himself. Man done it, himself. And yo...

God made the world. He might have been a hundred trillion years making it; I don't know how long He was, but He made it. And He didn't say how long He was, and it's none of our business how long it was. He just said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth." Period! That settles it. That's all of it. How long He was doing it, that's up to... Then the creation begin to spring up now in the other time, when He begin. And I believe, that in there, that everything on earth reflects heaven. I believe that. B...
Why?
63-0626 §24
I want to speak, if we'd call it, on the subject "Why?" It's a question. And God's asking this question. And God is eternal. We know He is. He's everlasting. He never had a beginning, or He could never have an end. Eternity never started; it never ends 'cause it's eternal. And God cannot change his mind, nor his way. That's why that we, as people who ... will not accept creeds if it's contrary to the Word, because we believe that God and his Word is the same. We believe that. The Bible says, in St. John the 1st cha...

And now, He said, "In the beginning was the Word." And before it could be a word, it had... What is a word? A "word" is a "thought expressed." And God, in His mind He was thinking just what would take place, and then after He received it into His mind, and all was yet not official yet, because it was in His mind. But when He once speaks it, He can never take it back. It's forever. It's part of Him. And there's our confidence we have in Him, because that He cannot take His Word back. We have to take ours back, becau...
