He can therefore declare "the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Is. 46:10). Because of this, God can speak of the dead as if they are alive, and can speak of men as if they were alive before birth.
Kwa sababu hiyo anaweza kueleza"Mwisho tangu mwanzo, na tangu zamani za kale mambo yasiyotendeka bado; nikisema, shauri langu litasimama, nami nitatenda mapenzi yangu yote"(Isa. 46: 10).Kwa sababu hii, Mungu anaweza kutangaza wafu kama kwamba wapo hai, na anaweza kuwasema watu kama wapo hai kabla ya kuzaliwa.
