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.

Expressions

He saw that final expression many hundreds of years ahead. But being a prophet, in the vision he saw the coming of God's great expression. He could look down and see the resurrection of the seeds, he could see the resurrection of the trees, and the resurrection of the sun after it had served its time and raised again---served for a day, raised for another day. Flowers for one funeral service die and resurrect for another's funeral service, everything serving its purpose. Then he saw in the distance the coming of th...
And then Jesus came
57-1213 §37
When He was here on earth, He didn't claim to be a healer. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works, it's My Father that dwelleth in Me." The same Father that was in Him, is in you. "I will give unto them eternal life." And anyone knows that that word "eternal" come from the Greek word "zoe," and zoe is "part of God's own life that's in you." Everything that has a beginning, has an end. Your mortal life had a beginning; it has an end. The earth had a beginning; it has an end. But it's the things that had no begin...
How the Angel came to me, and His commission
55-0117 §6
All these things is God's foreknowledge. When He spoke of them what would be, He foreknew it. Now, God, in order to be God, at the beginning He had to know the end or He wasn't the infinite God. God's not willing that any should perish. Certainly not! He doesn't want anyone to perish. But at the beginning of the beginning of the days, the world, God knew just exactly who would be saved and who would not be saved. He didn't want the people to be lost. It's not His will that any should be lost, but it's His will to s...
The Angel and the commission

Say there. [Gap in the audio] Say this before you, but I get too weak before I started the prayer line. All right. Do you believe God knows everything that's in your heart? He knows all about you. I want the ministers to stand here at the end of the line. And as the people come off of the platform right here, I want you to stand here and get... tell them to praise the Lord as they leave the platform. How many Christians is going to join with us in prayer now? Now, all you people standing here with prayer cards, eve...
Speak to this mountain
57-1215 §15
Someone said not long ago, when I was speaking at a meeting, said, "Do you mean to believe ... or, to say that you believe, that this world will be destroyed?" I said, "Yes!" Said, "How do you figure that? How could it be destroyed?" I said, "By the Word of God!" "Will the atomic destroy it? I said, "It will be destroyed by the Word. For the Word created it, and the same Word that created it, said it will be destroyed." God said so. How it will happen, I don't know. But it will happen. The Word that created it, the...
