do you think God knows the future,as in makes the future or can get to the future and see.?

Not only does God know the future, but He's there right now. He's also in the past and in the present at the same time. God is infinite, meaning He's outside the boundaries of time. To us humans, time is very useful, but to God, it is meaningless. He is in every location at every time...all the time.

He can see, in His infinite wisdom, EXACTLY how our lives will play out, and how events today will bring about His glory in the future. It gives me great encouragement when I see terrible things happen and ask, "Why did God allow that?" to know He can see the end result as clearly as we can see our hands.

I've got a headache.....

Time is also a creation of Gods.
It can be difficult for some to get a grasp on that, but time and matter are connected.

If something "is" (matter) then it must have had a beginning and will have an end. Therefore "Time" becomes necessary.

God is beyond the physical universe, God is beyond time.

Good answers one in all!

If god knows the future he must be outside of time. I think he mostly looks back into time to our day. He's waiting and working toward the end of time here on earth. The Eschaton - if you will.

Time is a function of matter - so if you don't have physical matter - you don't have time. There is no such thing as time in the spiritual realm because there is no change in this realm. Physical time exists only because matter is constantly changing. For example - we grow older because of the change of matter in our bodies.

Stephen Hawking says the the only place where matter exists without time is in a black hole. Matter is so super dense and stable there that it is unchanging and therefore time does not exist.

In heaven there is no day or night - why would anyone keep track of time because there is no reason to.

Romans 8:38-39 --- NIV

38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ecclesiastes 7:14
When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.

Ecclesiastes 8:7
Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come?
