Omnipresence And Onmiscience Of God
Bible Questions Answered:
“...robert is helping me write this
to you about how can god hear a thousand praying at once?”
Tod/ Rosenberg, Texas U.S.A.
Bible Answer:
Genesis 1:26 KJV
“And God said, Let us make
man in our image, after our likeness:...”
Notice the plural “us,” in
that verse! From the very beginning the trinity is spoken of. But
that is not our subject here.
The point of this scripture is to show
that, we are made in the image of God, and “not,” vice versa!
God is greater than us! True we are in
the similitude of God, but He will forever remain greater than what
we will “ever,” be able to fathom.
Although we cannot hear more than one
person at a time, not so with Almighty God, our Creator, He can, and
does! No matter the language, no matter the distance, all are known
to Him, with whom we have to do.
Jeremiah 23:23-25 NLT
23 Am I a God who is only close at
hand?” says the Lord. “No, I am far away at the same time.
24 Can anyone hide from Me in a
secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?”
says the Lord.
25 “I have heard..."
God, can and does hear what we say, or
pray, because He, is everywhere, both seeing and knowing all things.
God's Omniscience (All Knowing.)
and His Omnipresence (Everywhere existence.)

beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,
saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure:
Isaiah 66:1 KJV (Omnipresence.)
Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is
My throne, and the earth is My footstool: where is the house that ye
build unto Me? and where is the place of My rest?

saith unto him, Feed My sheep.

is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened
unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

be “one,” with Him, but this cannot happen unless we have been
cleansed of our sins, through the precious blood of His Son, the Lord
Jesus Christ.

5:20,21 KJV
20 ...we pray you in Christ's stead,
be ye reconciled to God.

sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

15 ...whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son of God.
Psalm 139:1-24
KJV (Omnipresence/
Omniscience.)
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and
known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and
mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my
lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my
tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and
before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful
for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy
Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou
art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the
morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead
me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness
shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from
thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light
are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my
soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from
thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest
parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance,
yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of
them.
17 How precious also are thy
thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are
more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked,
O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee
wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that
hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred:
I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my
heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked
way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
