He knoweth what is future, as well as what is past and present: Thou knowest my Thoughts afar off, Psal. 139.2. Long before I think them: They? are in thy Thoughts, before they are in my Heart. Man knoweth not what a day is big with, or may bring forth, Prov. 27.1. nor Angels neither; but God knoweth what is in the Womb of eternity, what all Ages and Generations shall produce: He declares the end from the beginning, and from ancient time the things that are not yet done, Isa. 46.10. And tells us this is proper to himself, Let them declare the things that shall come to pass, that we may know that they are gods, Isa. 41.23. Let them fore-tell what is future, and we will believe their Deity. Predictions are Arcana Imperii, those secret things that belong only to God, Deut. 29.29. Isa. 41.22, 23, 26.
