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 Law having a shadow
56-0621 §28
If He was infinite at the beginning, there never was a flea, frog, fly, or anything else ever come on the earth but what He knowed it before the world was ever formed. Amen. Think of it. He knew you; He knew me. In order... Knowing that our hearts would hunger and thirst after Him, He had to make a remedy. His great love, and His great power, and His great law constrained Him to do so. He couldn't do nothing else in order to be God, but to make a way. So when He looked down through the stream of time, from this end...
God's Provided Way for this day
64-0206E §5
I want to speak just for the next few minutes now on "God's Provided Way for This Day." God always has had a way. There's two ways---that's our ways, or his way. God has a way for today, for He's always made a way for everything. God at the beginning knowed the end. So He laid out his scripture for each age. And that age, when it comes along (now don't fail to see this), that age when it comes along... Usually the ministry is so mixed up in isms and so forth, and traditions, till it's a million miles away from the...

Now, here stands... The woman's a stranger to me. I do not know her; I never seen her in my life. God knows her; I don't. If there's anything wrong with the woman, God knows it; but I do not know it. Are we strangers, lady? We are strangers. Now, if Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (I'm talking to the newcomers now; the old ones understand it.) then, if He is the same... He said, "A little while and the world seeth Me no more; yet you'll see Me; for I'll be with you, even in you to the end of...
Hebrews, Chapter 7, part 1
57-0915E §66
If you'd take it over to like in Jeremiah 1:4, God said, "I knew you before you was even formed in your mother's womb. And I sanctified you and ordained you a prophet to the nations." Then what can you say that you did? What can I say that I did? It's God that showeth mercy. God knew us before the foundation of the world. He's not willing that any should perish. Certainly not. But if He's God, He knowed who would be saved and who wouldn't be saved, or He didn't know anything. If He didn't know... If he didn't know...

You believe, sister? Our heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, your Son, I lay my hands on this woman while we're in the presence of this ... shrouded presence of Jesus Christ. May she be healed. Go. Bless you, sister. Go just rejoicing happy and believing. Come, sister, you and brother. Let's have your hands. Heavenly Father, I bless them. In the name of Jesus Christ may they get their desires tonight, be made perfectly whole, and live for the kingdom of God, in Jesus' name. Go believing, now. Don't doubt. Just b...
