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.

We go on over to Esau and Jacob. God said that the foreknowledge, that the predestination of God might ... not that God wanted to condemn Esau, but knowing what he was... If God's God, He knowed everything. He knowed every flea that ever been on the earth. He knowed every gnat would ever be on the earth, before the earth was ever created; knowed how many times it'd bat his eyes, and how much tallow he'd make if he was rendered out. He's infinite. Who can say what infinite is? And if He isn't infinite, then He isn't...
Things that wasn't so from the beginning
61-0120 §1
... of his days, teaching things that wasn't so. I suppose if He'd come today, He'd find the same thing---things that wasn't so from the beginning. If you always want to know what's truth, go back to the beginning. Go back to Genesis, and you can take every cult and every true from today. The plants all began in Genesis, because Genesis is the seed chapter of the Bible. And if we want to know what is right, go back from the beginning. Just like I was trying to say last night, when God once makes a statement, He can...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 7:E-48
Now be careful, and get this. It says in this second verse that I read, "For I have not found thy works perfect before God." Do you know what the meaning of 'not perfect' really is? It is 'unfulfilled.' This age was an unfulfilled age. It was just the start of getting back. That is why I said the Bible called it Reformation--not restoration. It had started out in the doctrine of justification which meant salvation was all of God. Oh, how Luther preached the sovereignty of God and election. He knew it was all of gra...
Be not afraid

I don't know no one. Don't know but about two of these ministers up here on the platform, two or three. At least Brother Copp and them, I know them. But out in the audience, I don't see one person out there that I can recognize, to call their name, at this time. But each one of you, God knows you. He knows right where you're sitting. To my way of seeing God, He knowed before the foundation of the world that you'd be sitting there, if He's infinite. Sure. He's infinite, and He knowed everything. That is the reason H...
God is His own interpreter
64-0205 §8
When God makes a promise and God says... In the beginning, in Genesis, He allotted His Word to each age as it come down from the beginning to the end. And, down through these ages, the church world has got all these things all mixed up by traditions, and so forth, and God always sends on the scene, down through the Old Testament and New, prophets. And the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet. And how does it do it? It manifests the Word of God. God's manifestation; that tells whether it's right or wrong. Nobody ha...
