“Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” Acts 15:18
This is a bottom-line fact that many people forget and that is God is Omniscient which is defined as all-knowledge. There is nothing He does not know and nothing He has not ordained to happen. If God is God then He is everything or He is not God. God knew the fall of man would happen and He knew every detail of it, He could have prevented it had He chosen but rather He chose not too. God knows the history of the world and every detail of it; in fact He controlled it, even the ultimate sacrifice of so many believers. God know every detail of everything that happens today and nothing happens without it obeying His blessed will. And nothing will happen that God has not already marked out to come to pass. The problem for a lot of people is not God it is man, they simply do not know God as well as they need too. In fact God is to wonderful for our feeble minds to comprehend, so much so that we can only understand as much as God reveals to us through manifestation. People in general know nothing about God because God has not revealed Himself to them; they simply think they know Him. God to them is what they have made Him out to be but that is not the true God. Wisdom of God does not come natural and can not. Man does not even have the ability to know his own frame much less God. Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” So while people think they know who God is, how could they. People can’t even understand that God is sovereign or what His sovereignty is. God needs nothing or no one; He has total ability to all He wills, alone and sovereign. God told Moses in Exodus 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.” When God called Himself “I Am” He means that He is everything and totally sovereign. The words express absolute, and therefore unchanging and eternal Being, As one writer put it. God said in John 8:58 “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” Signifying His eternal existence. We see Him in the fiery furnace in Daniel 3:25 “He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” There is never a tomorrow with God the words “I Am” signifies He never has another second before or after the present. God has never not known His works or His will. People signify that God is not in control or that He has not the power to control something but He is just the opposite of that, nothing happens outside of His will. The problem is us and our ability to understand God, although He understands everything about us. Matthew 6:8 “Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” How could this be possible except God knows everything God does not wait for tomorrow because He is already in tomorrow. Some will say that God looked into the future but how can He look into a future where He already is. This is how He already knows what we have need of before we ask. This is the sovereign God that so few know, who knows the end from the beginning.
