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 conflict between God and Satan
62-0531 §19
In Eden, God knew his enemy and all the attacks of his enemy. Now God is the infinite God, and the infinite God is the perfection of the perfections. He knew all things before they ever was. And therefore, if this infinite God could have looked forward, and did, and seen the end from the beginning, and knew that He would have children on this earth, his own blessed children, don't you believe that He would provide for them the best that He could provide? Would not you tonight, to your children that was helpless lit...

And then, God, before there even was a star, knew that this world would be. And He knew that I'd be William Branham preaching the Gospel from the pulpit and you would be John Doe sitting there listening to it, before the world ever began. Hallelujah! Now, that's where people sometimes---the legalists and Calvinists ---get all mixed up, see. They say, "Why was some ordained to be lost?" God's not willing that any should perish. He don't want no one to perish, but yet, being God, He knows there's some that won't acce...
A Greater than Solomon is here

You lady, you believe me to be His servant? If God will reveal to me what you're here for, will you believe with all your heart? You're suffering, one thing, with something that puts around your arm. A doctor's pumping up... It's high blood pressure. That's right. I see you in a doctor's office. He's pumping the blood up, and he says it's high blood, too high for your age. That's right. Kind of heavy man. Correct. Now, you know I wouldn't know that; I wasn't there with you. But I was just a moment ago; God knows ev...
Where I think Pentecost failed

But if we'd only go back to find out when God made His first man, He made man in His own image. And God is a Spirit, so He had to make spirit-man. Now, the word is used here in the fifth verse of "predestination." Predestinated. It's not a very good word for an evangelist or a minister to use, because it kind of confuses people when you say "predestinate." Predestination speaks ... looks back to foreknowledge; foreknowledge looks to destination. Predestination goes back to foreknowledge; foreknowledge goes to desti...

Now, if I let you out on time I wouldn't have time to call a prayer line up here, although I think you got prayer cards. You don't need to be up here. God's just as great out there as He is anywhere. You believe He's omnipresent? Certainly He is. He's omnipresent because He's omniscient. Now He knows [unclear word] at the end, because ... He being omniscient, He knows all things. So therefore, He's everywhere by being omniscient. Just like the word "predestinate." It's a bad word. I used to feel it going, and caugh...
