Did you always know
What you now know?
If every iota of it
Please show!
Do you now know
What you will know?
Well, if you already do,
How is this so?
Foreknowledge is knowing
Past, present and future,
Every iota of it:
The total picture.
Not just a part of it
But the entire volume,
Very unlike any human being
Who must assume.
So, I ask again,
Did you always know
What you now know?
Please show!
Do you now know
All you will ever know?
Well, if you already do
How is this so?
But God does:
Both future and past
And He is the only one
In His unique class.
The unit set
They would say in Math:
The only one to be found
In such a class.
This is not dumb!
Someone has to be
And He has to be omnipotent
To create all we see.
Infinite knowledge
With wisdom to boot
With never ever an occasion
To utter, “Oh, shoot!”
A mild admission
Something is wrong
But with the Almighty God
This does not belong.
Not a single mistake
Has God ever made,
It is beings with choice
That always have failed.
Lucifer in heaven
Adam and Eve on earth,
Both yearning to satisfy
Their lustful thirst.
But God is love
And love permits choice,
That is, to obey or disobey
The lover’s voice.
Love is not withheld
By what can happen
And neither was God’s love
When Satan threatened.
God knows
What He always knew,
Nothing is hidden from Him
All’s within His view.
So, if you know
What you always knew
Then you would have to be God-
That’s a logical view.
But only God knows
What He always knew,
Therefore, let all men be liars
And let God be true.
No knowledge
Outside of God’s knowledge,
Foreknowledge in a narrow sense
Is God-given knowledge.
