“Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”
Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book all the days of my life were written before any of them came to be. God's perception extends even to the unformed substance; before development reached completeness, God perceived what would be. The reference to God's book suggests divine recording and foreknowledge of all events; the future is already written in God's comprehensive knowledge. All the days written before any came to be suggests predestination or at least exhaustive foreknowledge of the future. This verse articulates the theological reality that God's omniscience includes knowledge of all future events.
