How do we know God's foreknowledge is true?

Answered in 8 sources

God's foreknowledge is evidenced by His prophecies, such as those regarding the destruction of Jerusalem, which fulfill His sovereign will.

God's foreknowledge is a foundational doctrine in Reformed theology, substantiated by passages like Isaiah 46:10, where God declares He knows the end from the beginning. The specificity with which Jesus foretold the destruction of Jerusalem in Luke 21:20-24 illustrates this divine attribute. The ability of Christ to predict future events with such detail points to His divine nature, affirming both His omniscience and the certainty of Scripture. The prophecies serve to strengthen our faith in God's ultimate control and plan for history, providing comfort and assurance to believers.
