B. The Omniscience of God.

Omniscience means “.” — He knows everything! “For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and ” ().

1. . God, the Creator, knows everything concerning His creatures.

a. Of His . “He telleth the number of the ; he calleth them ” (); “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is ” ().

b. Of His . “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them without your Father” ().

c. Of His . God has full knowledge of man: “Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father , before ye ask him” (). He knows man’s need; he has knowledge of the need of man. He knows the very thoughts of man: “Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou afar off” (). “The LORD , that they are vanity” (). See also I Chronicles 28:9 and Hebrews 4:13. God knows the of man: “Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose ; (for thou, even thou only, of all the children of men;)” (). See also Psalm 44:21 and Acts 1:24. God knows the we have gone through: “The LORD said, I have surely which are in Egypt, and have by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows” (). How absurd for man to try to deceive God!

2. . “Known unto God are all his works ” (). And this covers the past, the present and the future. The past can God see, for He has given to us those things which have happened millenniums ago (); the Present is an to Him: “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (); and the future is known as the past and present is known. He knows the end from the beginning: “Who verily was foreordained , but was manifest in these for you” (). is also a marvelous illustration of God knowing the future: a baby was named three hundred years before it was born, its name given, from what family it was to come and the things it was to do in later life: “And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD: Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.” See also ; Jeremiah 1:5; . 16; Exodus 3:19; .

With God knowing the future, we must put ourselves in His hands.

3. . Only God knows what if something had happened which . “Thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day” (). See also I Samuel 23:12; Isaiah 48:18.
