Jesus died for one purpose, and that was to save those who God foreknew would be saved. That's right. God knew there was going to be somebody saved, and there had to be a preparation, or a way made for them to be saved. If there wasn't, salvation wasn't possible.
So, God, foreknowing that people would be saved, knowing who they were, He had to lay a plan down. Now you'd say to me, "Brother Branham, then God knows exactly who will be saved?" Correctly. "Well, why does It say, 'He's not willing that any should perish'?" He isn't. He isn't willing that any should perish, but that all might come to repentance.
But, order to be God, He has to know who will do that, or He wasn't God. Cause, He is—He is omnipotent. He is omnipresent. He is omniscient. He knows everything. He is at every place, and all-powerful.
