Bible Note: Greetings Free Thinker! Allow me to tackle your two questions! 1) Noah not a Jew? The Jewish nation officially began with the covenant God made with Abraham. Prior to that covenant, there was no Jewish nation. So, Noah would not have been a Jew since he lived prior to the time of Abraham, even though some of his descendants obviously were Jews. 2) Does God know everything ahead of time? Is. 46:9-10 addresses this question. God says of Himself there: "Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please." So, it is clear that God knows everything ahead of time. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
