Before!
Before I was born, before I was formed in my mother's belly; GOD knew me and already had an appointed time, purpose, and place for me. Before sin there was grace, love, and mercy. Before Adam sinned, GOD already had a plan for man's redemption! Before we have problems, GOD already got answers and a way out so we can be victorious because remember Jesus is the WAY! The bible says this. "Blessed be the GOD and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love." (Ephesians 1:3, 4.) Did you catch the revelation in those verses and the divine insight into the way which GOD does and sees things? Before the foundation of the world, GOD already saw the final outcome of you and me; isn't that something? This means that before the world even existed GOD saw and knew us beforehand, saw everything that we would ever deal with fixed it and solved all the problems that we would ever face and purposefully led us down a path of victory even before the world even began. GOD also saw beforehand the future outcome of us coming right back to the starting point of being in Christ! WOW!
In Jeremiah 1:5 the bible says this. "BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and BEFORE thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." See what we have to understand about this verse is that when GOD said He knew thee, it means that GOD knew us when we were a part of Himself, the part that BECAME flesh, just like Jesus we had to become flesh because we existed in GOD before we BECAME flesh. Before the part of us that now is became flesh, it came from the essence of GOD and this is what GOD is meaning when He said He knew us beforehand. This is why GOD can have confidence, hope, and faith in us because GOD really knows what we are made of! GOD is the only one in the universe that really knows what man is made of, because before we ever were, we were a part of Him. See science can only explain the physical part of us, but there is a part of man that is invisible, a part of us that is like GOD and super powerful and exponentially beyond our understanding and comprehension because it is the very essence of GOD! Why do you think the devil hates us so much? Because we are so much like GOD, and don't even understand or even vaguely know
