It can not be disputed, God is the Almighty, He knows the beginning and the end, even those who say their is no God unconsciously call out to him when in crisis.
I believe God knows the beginning and the end, but I don't believe God knows where each of us will ultimately end up after our sojourn here on earth.
I will digress a little just to share my opinion about life after death, because a lot of people are of the opinion that once a man dies that is the end of him.
I don't believe so, because I liken death to sleep, difference being that, with sleep you can be roused to consciousness of your physical surrounding whereas with death not so.
When you sleep you become completely oblivious to everything physical around you but your spirit remains active and takes you to all sort of places while your soul keeps your body alive and after a while you rouse to consciousness of your physical surrounding, but with death your spirit can not return to your body because the soul which keeps the body alive gets separated from the body.
This is to say the spirit lives on just that it can not return to the body at will because the soul is no longer there, and when the soul gets separated from the body comes judgement regarding where your spirit will spend eternity.
Anyway back to the original topic, I don't, believe God knows exactly where everyone of us will end up because that would mean sending Jesus Christ to earth to die was a total waste of time.
I mean what is the need of sending his only begotten to die if he already knew all those going to heaven and those going to hell.
In my own opinion God knows the big picture for all of mankind regarding where each chosen path will lead us to but doesn't know which path each and every one of us will take.
Just to be clear, God doesn't know the path every individual will take, not because he can not know, but simply because he chose to put a BLIND over it.
This BLIND is called FREEWILL, every individual has the freedom to chose for themselves which path to follow( narrow or the broad way).
Where you end up after death is your responsibility, God doesn't chose where you will end up the moment you are born, come to think of it wouldn't that make him a wicked God, sending some straight to hell even before they get a chance to become aware of the world they are in, however, God can do his best to give you pointers to the right direction without interfering with your right to freedom of choice.
That was why He sent Jesus to remind us that this world and all we presently enjoy is temporary and how we live is our responsibility and, to use our freedom to chose wisely.
Choose you this day whom ye will serve; but as for me and my house,
we will serve the LORD.
Whom you choose to serve while living is what determines where you end up after all said and done.
