God Sees from All Perspectives

Epistemology, or the study of knowledge, is an issue that all philosophers tackle at one time or another. How do we know things? Opinions range widely, and rightly so, for each person has his or her own perspective on things. But of course I am getting ahead of myself, applying my own epistemology. Nevertheless, one must admit that if there is a God, he is the only being with complete perspective, the only being with complete knowledge. Or, John Frame:

God knows absolutely everything, because he planned everything, made everything, and determines what happens in the world he made. So we describe him as omniscient. One interesting implication of God’s omniscience is that he not only knows all the facts about himself and the world; he also knows how everything appears from every possible perspective. If there were a fly on my office wall, my typing would look very different to him from the way it looks to me. But God knows, not only everything about my typing, but also how that typing appears to the fly on the wall. Indeed, because God knows hypothetical situations as well as actualities, God knows exhaustively what a fly in that position would experience—if such a fly were present—even if it is not. God’s knowledge, then, is not only omniscient, but omniperspectival. He knows from his own infinite perspective; but that infinite perspective includes a knowledge of all created perspectives, possible and actual.
