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.

Faith cometh by hearing
54-0320 §22
Brother, sister, I'd lay my life, just at any moment, on it. I know it's the truth. For since a little, bitty, baby boy, the first thing I can almost remember was a vision. And, see, "Gifts and callings are without repentance." We realize that. God sets in these things. How many believes that? Just say, "Amen." I won't ask you to raise your hand. Well, that's good. I'm in a Calvinistic group here tonight, I believe. So anyhow, this, you see, that God by sovereign grace and election and foreknowledge knew before the...
The Super Sign
63-1129 §5
God knowed the end from the beginning, therefore He could plan everything that it would work out just to His glory. And that gives us courage, to know that no matter what comes or goes, God is making everything... The clock is ticking just exactly on time. Sometimes we get weary, upset. We get hastily. We think, "Oh, we must do this, or do that." But, remember, God's clock will be just exactly on time. All these things has to be this way. It has to all be done according to His great knowledge, His foreknowledge, fo...
At Thy Word

Now, this woman here, God in Heaven knows, I never seen her as far as I know. Are we strangers, lady? We don't know each other. We're strangers. We're perfect strangers. All right. Probably borned miles apart and here we're standing here. Only think I know that somewhere she picked up a prayer card from somebody and her number was called, and here she is on the platform. That's all I know about her, but God knows her. Don't you believe that? He ... every bite of food she ever eat God gave it to her. He knows me, an...
The Lamb's book of life
56-0603 §48
What we scared about? Listen to me, my weary brother, the Bible said that Jesus was the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world. Notice, oh my, how this burns your heart, how this gives you the hope. Way back before the foundation of the world, when Satan perverted the evil. God being infinite, looked down through the stream of time and saw the end. Foreknowledge. If He don't know all things, you have limited God. You've made Him finite, like you and I. But God is unlimited. God's power, God's knowledge...
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever

But God by foreordination... We don't want to call the word "predestination." It's a bad word to use before the people. But God, by foreknowledge can predestinate: God is infinite. Do you believe that? And He knowed everything that would be on the earth before He created it. You believe that? If He didn't, He couldn't tell the end from the beginning. He knows all things. Therefore He could love Jacob and hate Esau before either one was born. He's not willing that any should perish. No, sir. But His foreknowledge le...
