This is an attribute of deity which refers to God’s ability to know all things before they happen (Isa. 41:2-4; Acts 2:23; 15:18; Rom. 8:29; 11:2; 1 Peter 1:2). It is different from divine providence, which is God’s power to guide and direct all things on earth according to His will (Eph. 1:11; Prov. 21:1). With foreknowledge and providence, God is well able to predict the future, for He controls world history.
