“Does He not see my ways, and count my every step?” Job 31:4
“他难道不查看我的道路,数算我的每一步吗?”(约伯记 31:4)
“His understanding is infinite!” Psalm 147:5
“他的聪明是无限的!”(诗篇 147:5)
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所有事情,
and He is not only thoroughly acquainted with everything that is now transpiring throughout the entire universe—
而且他也对现在宇宙中发生的一切有深刻的了解——
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 ever will 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对过去与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 foreknows what will be, because He has decreed what shall be.
上帝预知将会发生的事情,因为他已经命定了将发生的事情。
Were it in any ways possible for something to occur apart from either the direct agency or permission of God—
如果有任何事情有可能在不经过上帝的直接作为或允许的情况下发生——
then that something would be independent of Him, and He would at once cease to be Supreme.
那么那事情就会独立于他,且他立刻就不再是至高者。
“There is no creature hidden from God’s sight,
“没有被造物能隐瞒在上帝的视线之外,

一切都显露无遗,铺展在那位我们必须向他交账的眼前!”(希伯来书 4:13)
“You have set our iniquities before You-
“你将我们的罪孽放在你面前——
our secret sins in the light of Your presence!” Psalm 90:8

Men would strip Deity of His omniscience if they could!
如果可以的话,人们会剥夺神的全知性!
What a proof that “the carnal mind is enmity against God!” Romans 8:7
这充分证明了“肉体的心思是与上帝为敌的!”(罗马书 8:7)
The wicked wish there might be . . .
恶人希望可能……
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。
They seek to banish such a God from their thoughts!
他们试图将这样的神从他们的思想中驱逐出去!
“They say to God: Leave us alone!
“他们对上帝说:让我们独处!
We have no desire to know Your ways!” Job 21:14
我们不想知道你的道路!”(约伯记 21:14)
An omniscient and ineffably holy God,
一个全知且不可言喻的圣洁神,
who has the utmost abhorrence of sin,
他对罪有着极度的厌恶,
was never invented by any of Adam’s descendants!
从未被亚当的后裔所创造!
