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.

The World is falling apart
63-0412M §27
God has an expectation. God knows what's going to happen because He's infinite. So there's nothing going wrong. It's all going just exactly right, because He's infinite. And He can foretell the end from the beginning because He's God. Don't think Satan's putting anything over on Him. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's just all working out to display his attributes, is all. How could the great infinite God who knowed everything, and let everything... It's just the attributes of God being displayed. And you're displaying your life...
It wasn't so from the beginning
60-0306 §11
God being infinite, He knew all things. Before the world was ever created, He knowed every fly, every gnat, every time he'd ever bat his eye, and how much tallow he had, before the world ever started. That's infinite. He knowed the end from the beginning, so that makes Him infinite. He knows. So then He's omnipresent by knowing all things what's going on. Now, whatever He says, it is forever the truth. If God is ever called on the scene to make a decision, and He makes that decision, it has to be forever the same w...
Hebrews, Chapters 5 and 6, part 1

Now, Jesus in His coming, of His priesthood, did not come just for a sympathy's sake. Many people teach it like that, that He come saying, "Well, maybe if I suffer, I will be a pitiful sight and people will surely come to Me." That's an error, there's no scripture for that. For every person that ever will be saved, God knew them before the world was ever formed. The Bible said so. God's not willing now that anybody should perish; He wants them all to come to repentance. But, being God, by foreknowledge He knew it....
Christ is the mystery of God revealed
63-0728 §161
God never just said, "I'll choose this one, choose that one," but He knew by His ... reason He could predestinate because He's infinite, and He knows... He's infinite, so therefore He knowed everything. He knowed that end; He could tell the end from the beginning. He's God. If He can't do that, He's not God. Yes, sir. He's infinite. All right.
Faith

Now, I want you to notice (This might take just a short time; I've got my watch before me so I won't go too long.), God, the infinite, eternal, immortal God knowed everything from the beginning, He knowed the end. There was a cycle like a panoramic, going around. And it's a perfect circle. That's eternity. There's no end to a perfect circle. If you start on top of the platform tonight, you could bore right through to the ground, all the way through the ground, right into the earth and through the earth and out into...
