How did God know we would build airplanes even before Jesus came?

Amos 9:b ..and if they go *UP to the heavens,* from there I shall bring them down.

Or the submarine,..or scuba gear...?

3b) And if they conceal themselves from in front of my eyes on the *floor of the sea,* down there I shall command the serpent, and it must bite them.

    Life was foretold to turn out like it is because God already knew , (by Adam and Eve listening to the first lie), what disobedience would lead to when humans first decided to go their own way, and be their own "god". Gen 3:4,5. As an example; It is just like if you explain to your young children that his/her life will turn out better if he stays home, stays in school, doesn't spend time around others who are engaged in stealing and drugs. He knows that you are telling him the truth, but when presented with the possibility to find out what "the other side" is like, and someone lies to him and says;" your parents are lying to you, your life will be better if you come with us, you will be smarter than your parents". So he feels curious, tempted , rather than dismissing the thought and telling the troublemaker to take a hike, he decides instead to leave his home and go along with the liar. When the parents see this, they know what will happen to their son and daughter, their lives will turn out very bad and then they will finally die. This was the same case with our first parents who had all that they needed for happiness, but Satan presented to them the idea that God was holding something back from them.( a lie), so they went out from the care and direction of their Creator and heavenly father, and made Satan their father, obeying him, they died after a time, but we inherited their defects.(Romans 5:12). The human race, their descendants, suffered eventual sickness, death, but also a multitude of other problems because they continued making all kinds of ideas, religions,philosophies and theories that originated with Satan's ideas and those of imperfect mankind. No human ruler ship, kingdom or government has worked to remove the ills of mankind throughout history because of this. So finally we have arrived at the period of time referred to " the last days" in Bible prophecy, which is a culmination of what human life without the direction of God would turn out like. We are experiencing the results. Most people don't even realize this, and of those who's eyes of understanding have been opened, some of those still prefer to " stay in the dark" about the meaning behind world events.(2 Corinthians 4: 4 ). There are many prophecies that we are seeing fulfilled. Watch the news.

    Well a human wrote this. And he may have been a prophet or took a wild guess or spoke metaphorically to fool those that want to believe what he means by the heavens and serpent. But If I could tell you what God knew and I can answer this question correctly Id be somewheres else on the internet bragging about it =)

    You are very smart! I'm sure you have seen this scripture which seems to be speaking of our modern transportation...

    Daniel 12:4. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

    I love Christian apologists... any old comment in the Bible that seems to relate to something in reality is IRREFUTABLE PROOF (tm) of the Bible's validity.

    Any of the libraries' full of evidence that contradicts the Bible is false, or a matter of 'faith'.

    There's just no winning.

    Because the bible is a plagiarized version of the Sumerian Tablets and they described aircraft and water craft since they had them.
