How far does God's foreknowledge extend?

God's foreknowledge extends from eternity past all the way to the final consummation at the end of time. Nothing in all His working was unknown to His predeterminate counsel. The triune God saw everything, and He knows exactly what lies ahead, even though we do not.

God saw everything, knew we would be in Tulsa, Oklahoma that afternoon, and knows exactly what is ahead of us, though we do not. This is beyond human comprehension.
