"Only I can tell you the future before it even happens.
(i.e. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come)
Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.
(i.e. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please)"
- Isaiah 46:10

Omniscience is not beans. Isaiah 46:10 above is straight from the Horse mouth. Just knowing an iceberg tip of God, makes you want to think that, God is a God of dread

Maximus69:

Of course nothing can stop his good plans so we can say he knows what he has in stock for obedient mankind {Jeremiah 29:11} that's the future!

Blabbermouth:

Wow! Nice scripture.
So, Does God know if I will end up in heaven or Hell ?

DappaD:
Well, as Jehovah's Witnesses we see ourselves as the only worshipers of our God Jehovah.

That said...

Your question ‘Does God know the future?’ is very broad. It would be better if you could narrow it down a bit.

On the words you bolded yourself, let me get some things straight.

1. Do you mean if He can foretell the future to give his servants a glimpse/hope of the future?

OR

2. Do you mean if He uses foreordination/foreknowledge all the time? Even regards details of the birth and death of all intelligent creatures(humans) from Adam until now?

Blabbermouth:
Yes, that's part of my question. Also...
2. Does God where I will spend my eternity? Eternal life in earth/heaven or Eternal death.

DappaD:


You quite know my stand on those two subjects up there. Let me rephrase the question for you.

Blabbermouth : Does God know whether I will gain everlasting life or remain inexistent forever?

I presume this should be what you mean?

Blabbermouth:

So, I believe you are implying that God knows the future.
My eternal destination is something that is part of what we call "the future"... So, I should ask you;
Does God know if I will go to hell (in this case, I mean eternal death) or Spend my eternity in the new earth?

MuttleyLaff:
¹⁷The LORD answered Moses, "I will do what you have asked, because I am pleased with you, and I know you by name."
¹⁸Then Moses said, "Please let me see your glory."
¹⁹The LORD said, "I will let all my goodness pass in front of you, and there I will call out my name 'the LORD.' I will be kind to anyone I want to. I will be merciful to anyone I want to.
²⁰But you can't see my face, because no one may see me and live."
²¹Then the LORD said, "Look, there's a place near me. Stand by this rocky cliff.
²²When my glory passes by, I will put you in a crevice in the cliff and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
²³Then I will take my hand away, and you'll see my back, but my face must not be seen."

Two things, God never absolutely reveals to men on this short side of eternity, they namely are: His name and the future or metaphorically referred to as His Face or His Glory.

Of course, God reveals the future, just as He told Abram/Abraham that through his seed, the whole wide world hood will be blessed, that his descendants will inherit the land of Canaan aka the Proimised land and that they will be as strangers be enslaved for 400 years et cetera


Affirmative. Of course, God know where you''ll be spending your eternity, but it does stop any of the plan and work of God. Wherever you end up, it is a right you have that you should be allowed to exist, whether for a short while on earth or for a long time

There are more than just eternity/eternal existence but the explaining the details are out of scope of the thread's limit and would end up being info overload

Maximus69:


That largely depends on what you choose to become now!

He has set before you his program, it's left for you to choose whether you will be part of the blessed or damned! Deuteronomy 30:19 compare to Zephaniah 2:2-3

According to Jesus, God will become your father if you choose to do his will (work your goals in line with his plans) and all the blessings he kept in stock for his blessed ones will be your lot in the future! Matthew 7:21

Blabbermouth:

Sir, it's either He knows or He does not know, which one is it? If where I will end up largely depends on me, that technically implies that He does not know where I will end up.
What's your take?

DappaD:
I don't think I'm the ones asking the questions here.

DappaD:
On the bolded, I disagree with you a 100%.
But in time we will get to discussing that.

DappaD:
For now though, I intend to understand OP's question the simplest way I can.

MuttleyLaff:

- Exodus 33:17-23

Two things, God never absolutely reveals to men on this short side of eternity, they namely are: His name and the future or metaphorically, future referred to as His Face or His Glory. As we can see from Exodus 33:17-23 above, how Moses tried to see the future, but was compensated with seeing the past and history. It was the same Moses and Jacob earlier who asked what God's name is but were denied with a question, asking why they wanted to know (i.e. Genesis 32:27 and Exodus 3:14)

Of course, God reveals the future, just as He told Abram/Abraham that through his seed, the whole wide world hood will be blessed, that his descendants will inherit the land of Canaan aka the Proimised land and that they will be as strangers be enslaved for 400 years et cetera

Maximus69:


He will never decide that, he has informed us on his own part, it's left for each of us to play our own part! Galatians 6:5

Blabbermouth:

Yes, you are right.

Blabbermouth:
Sir, it's either He knows or He does not know, which one is it? If where I will end up largely depends on me, that technically implies that He does not know where I will end up.
What's your take?

Blabbermouth:

That means you believe God does not know where I will end up.

Maximus69:


Your future is in your own hands not God's hands because his own plan is certain {Isaiah 55:10-11} it's your right now to predict your own future!

DappaD:


Okay. Understood now.

I'll posit my question first, before answering yours.

All I need is a Yes/No answer before I proceed.

MuttleyLaff:
[size=12pt]Did you understand what "know the end from the beginning" means and implies, hmm?

What is bugging you?

Blabbermouth:
In the preceeding paragraph you said God will never show you the future. In the succeeding paragraph you said God told Abraham his future. Aren't you contradicting yourself?

Blabbermouth:
Wow! Let me use myself as a case study;
If God knows I will end up in Hell, who predestined that I will end up in Hell?
Was it God or is it the innocent ME?

Blabbermouth:
I want to know the answer to this question; Does God know if I will end up in Heaven or Hell?
If he knows, I want to know who predetermined "Hell" or "Heaven" for me.
Sir MuttleyLaff, Who predetermined that I will end up in "hell"?

MuttleyLaff:

Smh. Before you were conceived and even born from your mother womb, God had already before you being on the board, and experienced every move on the board until the end that you've made. He has seen all your blunders, your silly moves, your suicidal move, your check mate yourself moves, but still allows you to comes into existence because creativity should never be aborted, killed off, truncated, stifled et cetera. You are part of the Godhead's creative energy, and no matter where you are going to end up, you have creative rights to exist so to express yourself, equipped with freewill. I won't go further on than here, bar you lead to shed more light

MuttleyLaff:
[size=12pt]Sir Blabbermouth, if before you I had watched a behind closed full time football match between Man United and Arsenal football club and knew the final score, but you, say, two hours later, came to watch a recorded version of the same match. Would you say that since I had earlier watched the match live, that, as far as you are concerned, then the score line or the final result of the game was predetermined, hmm?

Blabbermouth:
From your response, I deduced that you believe that it is God himself that predestined where I will end up and he allowed me to exist for a while in order to showcase his creativity, that's a very bitter sweet.

Blabbermouth:
Let's see this together, shall we?
2Peter 3:9 - "... But is (The Lord is) patient towards us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance
How can this Loving God that doesn't want me to perish also decided to predestine innocent Blabbermouth for hell? Paul was clear, God does not want me to perish!!!

Blabbermouth:
Fortunately and unfortunately, it's either you are wrong or Apostle Paul is wrong.
Perhaps I was a bit forward. Will you do justice to bridge the notion that God predestined hell for me with the fact that God doesn't want me to perish?

haddeylium:
I feel attracted to the question...
I don't know if I'm allowed to jump on it?
I'm doing that anyway....loll

Answers to God know knowing the future is broad but with the OP replies to others that commented....I think he's interested in if God foreknowedd or predestined humans acts..

Since God granted us freewill, it wouldn't have been genuine if he knows the outcome of our life course

Someone quoted (Is-46:10)- Truly God has the power to foreknow an even and it course as with regards to the prophesy he gave. But, the Bible teaches that God is selective when it comes to foreknowing things

MuttleyLaff:
Did you read the Man United and Arsenal illustration above, and understood it, because you've now switched from "predetermined" to "predestination", hmm?

MuttleyLaff:

Do you think God isn't patient? That God isn't long-suffering in silence? How you really doubt the love of God, hmm? Do you see God as an ogre, sadist or psychopath hmm?

Are you aware of what God Himself did so that you would be reconciled, redeemed and saved back to Him., hmm?. Do you know what God has made available to assist you to every moment become a better person huh? Please dont let ignorance, bereft of good, correct and full knowledge get the better of you

MuttleyLaff:

I will refer you again to go review the above earlier Man United and Arsenal football match illustration

Blabbermouth:

Sir, just take it as I don't know much.
Please do justice to my question.

Blabbermouth:
Using this scenario, the final result of the game has already been determined by the match itself!
In my case, I haven't played any match (I'm yet to exist), so if there was a casette/movie of me pre-doing all the things I'm doing right now and all the things I'm yet to do, the big question is; Who directed the Movie?
Is it God or the yet-to-exist ME?

DappaD:
Okay. Understood now.

I'll posit my question first, before answering yours.

All I need is a Yes/No answer before I proceed.
Are you among those who believe in DESTINY? i.e. the so-called divine set-out plan for a person by God?

I'm asking because so-called Christians and most of the world populace believe in this concept of destiny

Blabbermouth:
Sir, just take it as I don't know much.
Please do justice to my question.
