Acts 15:18 KJV
Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
John Gill says, "... all the things which God does in the church and in the world, they were all foreknown and predetermined by him: from the beginning of the world; or from eternity; even all his works of creation, providence and grace..."[1]
This in context of the Gentiles coming the Christ and whether they should be required to observe the Jewish ordinances. James, in citing Amos 9:11, concludes that God knew exactly that the Gentiles would come to the Lord.
There is comfort in the truth that God knows all that He is doing, from the beginning. He has a plan that is worked out from beginning to the end and He had it worked out from the beginning. God is in control. He is sovereign. He will see to it that the plan He has set in motion come to full completion.
