What a wondrous Being is the God of Scripture!
圣经中的上帝是何等奇妙的存在！
“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.
“在所有的创造中，没有什么能隐藏在上帝的视线之外。
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13
一切都显露无遗，铺开在那位我们必须向他交账的上帝眼前。” 希伯来书 4:13
God is omniscient. He knows everything:
上帝是全知的。他知道一切：
everything possible,
所有可能的事情，
everything actual,
所有实际的事情，
all events,
所有事件，
all creatures,
所有生物，
of the past, the present, and the future.
包括过去、现在和未来的一切。
He is perfectly acquainted with every detail in the life of every being in Heaven, in earth, and in Hell.
他对天上、地下和地狱中每一个生物的生活细节了如指掌。
Nothing escapes His notice, nothing can be hidden from Him, nothing is forgotten by Him.
没有什么能逃脱他的注意，没有什么能对他隐藏，没有什么会被他遗忘。
His knowledge is perfect.
他的知识是完美的。
He never errs.
他从不犯错。
He never changes.
他从不改变。
He never overlooks anything.
他从不忽视任何事情。
God not only knows whatever has happened in the past in every part of His vast domains;
上帝不仅知道在他广阔领域的每个地方过去发生的一切；
and He is not only thoroughly acquainted with everything that is now transpiring throughout the entire universe—
他不仅对现在宇宙中发生的每一件事有深刻的了解——
but He is also perfectly cognizant of every event, from the least to the greatest,
而且他也完全知晓从最小到最大的每一个事件，
that will ever happen in the ages to come!
在未来的岁月中将要发生的一切！
God’s knowledge of the future is as complete as is His knowledge of the past and the present;
上帝对未来的知识和他对过去和现在的知识是一样完整的；
and that, because the future depends entirely upon Himself.
而且这正是因为未来完全取决于他自己。
God has Himself designed whatever shall yet be—
上帝亲自设定了一切即将发生的事情——
and what He has designed, must be effectuated.
他所设定的必定会实现。
God’s knowledge does not arise from things because they are or will be—but because He has ordained them to be!
上帝的知识不是因为事物的存在或将来的存在而产生的——而是因为他已经命定它们会存在！
Yes, such is the God with whom we have to do!
是的，这就是我们所接触的上帝！
“You know when I sit and when I rise;
“你知道我坐下和站起；
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
你从远处察觉我的思想。
You discern my going out and my lying down;
你了解我的外出和我的躺下；
You are familiar with all my ways.
你熟悉我所有的作为。
Before a word is on my tongue—You know it completely, O Lord!” Psalm 139:2-4
在我舌头未说出话之前——你完全知道，耶和华！” 诗篇 139:2-4
How solemn is this fact: Nothing can be concealed from God!
这个事实是多么庄严：没有什么能从上帝面前隐藏！
“For I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them” (Ezekiel 11:5).
“因为我知道你心中所想的事，每一件。”（以西结书 11:5）。
Though He is invisible to us—we are not so to Him.
尽管他对我们是不可见的——但我们对他并非如此。
Neither the darkness of night, the closest curtains, nor the deepest dungeon—can hide any sinner from the eyes of Omniscience!
无论是黑夜的黑暗、最紧密的帷幕，还是最深处的监狱——都无法将任何罪人隐藏在全知者的眼前！
Men would strip Deity of His omniscience if they could.
如果能够，人们会剥夺神的全知性。
They wish there might be . . .
他们希望……
no Witness of their sins,
没有对他们罪行的见证者，
no Searcher of their hearts,
没有搜索他们内心的探究者，
no Judge of their deeds!
没有对他们行为的审判者！
