This is a very easy question to answer. Yes! Not only does God know the future, but he knows the future, past and present all at the same time. How this is possible, I do not know. But it is quite clear form biblical texts and Jewish-Christian mystical experiences that his knowledge of future events is staggering.

In the 45th chapter of the book of Isaiah, God directly and emphatically tells us to ask him about future events. Actually he explains that his ability to show us future events, with total and complete accuracy is proof that he is God. And not only does he know the future, but he shares this ability with his servants.

The prophets Daniel, Amos, Elijah, Elisha, Samuel, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and many others all had the ability to predict future events. If you read the entire second chapter of the Book of Daniel, you will discover that God showed Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar the entire future of world history; right from the time of Daniel-until the second coming of Jesus.

Nearly three thousand years ago, God revealed to the Prophet Ezekiel what would come to pass in the latter times. You can find this in the thirty eighth chapter of Ezekiel. He explained to Ezekiel that Israel would be attacked by an Arab-African nation coalition that would be led by Russia. Part one of this attack came during the six day war and part two will happen very soon.

Jesus was also very clear concerning our right to this amazing and mind-boggling grace from God. This charisma is provided to us by the Holy Spirit. Christ told us that part of the Holy Spirits work is to "show us things to come." Did Jesus lie? Highly unlikely since he is incapable of lying.

The book of Revelation was given to the Apostle John to "show God's people what will befall us in the later days." This is very consistent with God's nature. He explained to the Prophet Amos that "he would do nothing without first revealing it to his servants." I would say this is pretty clear, and I have found this promise to be most consistent and very reliable.

In the 12th chapter of 1st Corinthians Jesus provides Christians with nine supernatural powers. These are called the gifts of the Spirit. Every member of the Corinthian Church had a least one of these gift. One of them is the ability to see into the future.

The amazing and very holy priest of modern times (Padre Pio), astounded people from all over the world with his uncanny ability to see into eternity.

This gift has operated very, very strong in my life and work
