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.

Did you know Jesus read people's mind? He perceived their thoughts. Is that right? Then He knew what they were thinking about. He knows tonight what you're thinking about. And He's here now, and knows what you're thinking about, and can reveal through His channels what you're thinking about. 'Course we know the devil has patterns and types of everything that God has. Everything that Satan has is secondarily that he patterned off of God. Every bogus thing has a--has something original to be made off of. If there was...

He knowed every breath that you'd breathe and how deep it would go in your lungs. That's infinite. Now, if He's infinite, that makes Him omniscient. Is that right? And if He's omniscient, that makes Him omnipresent because He knows just exactly the minute, hour, time to the split instant of 55,000th of a second to when it's going to happen. See? Get the idea now? Then He knows all things. And that's the reason he has all power, knows all things, and can do all things. Now, let's see. Now, and all the children that...

QUESTION: Now, let's see. Now the next one here says: What is meant by predestination before the world began; where is it in the Bible? Predestination before the world begin? All right, my precious friend, let us turn to Ephesians the 1st chapter just for one place. We won't take too long on this one I don't think, unless it doesn't answer right. And let's just start reading here at Ephesians the 1st chapter. Now, the first thing, I want to say this, that predestination is a bad word for a minister to use before an...

And predestination is a hard word among a congregation of people, because predestination... Really, foreknowledge is a better word. And predestination looks back to foreknowledge, and foreknowledge looks on to destiny. That God, being infinite, in the beginning ... knew the end from the beginning, therefore He knew what people would do, so He could foretell what would take place, for He knew what would be. Therefore before Esau or Jacob, either one, was born, God could say, "Esau I've hated, and Jacob I've loved,"...

He wasn't willing that you should be perished ... would perish. But Him being infinite, He had to know the end from the beginning or He isn't God. So Jesus never come to earth just to say, "Well, I will see if somebody be mercy... If I act and die in a hard way, they'll probably think, 'Well, it'll persuade their hearts, and they'll..." God don't run His business like that. Jesus came for one specific purpose: that's to save those who God before the foundation of the world knew would be saved. He said so! That's ri...
