His [[knowledge]] of [[events]] is [[universal]] and [[Perfection|perfect]]. The divine [[entities]] going out from him are a part of him; he who "balances the clouds"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Job#Chapter_.37] is also "perfect in knowledge."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Job#Chapter_.36] "The eyes of the Lord are in every place."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Proverbs#Proverb_.15] Said your [[Jesus|great teacher]] of the insignificant sparrow, "One of them shall not fall to the ground without my Father's knowledge,"[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_10] and also, "The very hairs of your head are numbered."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_10] "He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_147] 3:3.2 The [[Universal Father]] is the only [[personality]] in all the [[universe]] who does actually know the [[number]] of the stars and [[planets]] of space. All the worlds of every universe are constantly within the [[consciousness]] of God. He also says: "I have surely seen the [[Pain|affliction]] of my people, I have heard their cry, and I know their [[Grief|sorrows]]."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.3] For "the Lord looks from [[heaven]]; he beholds all the sons of men; from the place of his habitation he looks upon all the inhabitants of the [[earth]]."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_33] Every creature child may truly say: "He knows the way I take, and when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold." "God knows our downsittings and our uprisings; he [[understands]] our [[thoughts]] afar off and is acquainted with all our ways."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_139] "All [[things]] are [[Transparent|naked]] and open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_IV] And it should be a real comfort to every human being to understand that "he knows your frame; he remembers that you are dust."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Psalms#Psalm_103] [[Jesus]], speaking of the living God, said, "Your Father knows what you have need of even before you ask him."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_6] 3:3.3 God is possessed of [[Infinite|unlimited]] [[power]] to know all things; his [[consciousness]] is [[universal]]. His personal [[circuit]] [[encompasses]] all personalities, and his knowledge of even the lowly creatures is supplemented indirectly through the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:1._THE_DESCENDING_SONS_OF_GOD descending series of divine Sons] and directly through the indwelling [[Thought Adjuster]]s. And furthermore, the [[Infinite Spirit]] is all the [[time]] [[Omnipresence|everywhere present]]. 3:3.4 We are not wholly certain as to whether or not God chooses to foreknow [[events]] of [[sin]]. But even if God should foreknow the [[freewill]] [[acts]] of his [[children]], such foreknowledge does not in the least abrogate their [[freedom]]. One thing is certain: God is never subjected to surprise. 3:3.5 [[Omnipotence]] does not imply the power to do the nondoable, the ungodlike act. Neither does [[omniscience]] imply the knowing of the unknowable. But such [[statements]] can hardly be made comprehensible to the [[finite]] [[mind]]. The creature can hardly understand the range and limitations of the will of the Creator. <center>[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_3 Go to Paper 3]</center> <center>[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents Go to Table of Contents]</center> [[Category:Paper 3 - The Attributes of God]] [[Category: God]] [[Category: Omniscience]]
