ABSTRACT
I want now to examine this thesis a little further and will thereby recall above all the demonstration that, as certain as it is that there exists any change at all, so also must the same be assumed of God, both in regard to his knowledge as also in regard to the activity of his will. If something changes, it follows that not all truths are eternal. God knows all truths, and thus also those which are only today. These, however, he could not have known yesterday, since then it was not they, but certain others, which obtained. Thus he now knows for example that I am writing down these thoughts. Yesterday, however, he did not know this, but rather that I will write them down later. And similarly he will know tomorrow that I have written them down. Everything is in perfect accord, yet the one knowledge is not the other, since a different temporal mode constitutes a difference in the content of the judgment.
