---God Sees Both the End and the Beginning ~~“For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.” ----(Romans 8:29) --God’s wisdom is supreme. Now, we know after the fact, but God knows before the fact. The word “foreknow” is from the Greek word 'proginosko'. God’s foreknowledge can best be illustrated like the viewing of a parade. If you watch a parade from the ground level, you will see the floats as they come past one at a time. But suppose you could go up in a 30-story building and look down upon the parade? Then, you would not only see the float directly in front, but quite possibly the first and last float. You now have a different vantage point. We live in history. We see events as they come by one at a time. But God dwells in eternity. And He sees the beginning, the end, and everything in between. And God knows everything. For more insight regarding "The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History", please read Psalm 33.--Adrian Rogers ~~ --Our God, Jehovah YHWH / YAHWEH / ADONAI = (attributes below). We don't know this by man's intellect, but by the Holy Spirit who indwells all believers in Jesus Christ. Jesus is our Savior and Lord. It takes 'FAITH' which comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6) ~~--OMNIPOTENT == / All Powerful --OMNISCIENT== / All knowing --OMNIPRESENT==/ In all places at the same time --IMMUTABLE ==/ Unchangeable --VERACITY ==/ Complete honesty, and truth ~~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
