--- Known From The Womb? ---
When were YOU first known to יהוה?
Written: February 2026
There are several Bible examples that show, if you are righteously inclined for sure [meaning you are one inclined to search for God (2 Chron 16:9)], יהוה is already coming to know you during your time in the womb.
Jesus Christ!
Prehuman existence...
God uttered many many prophecies about Jesus Christ before ever Jesus was born or even conceived. Jesus was God's firstborn son, created eons before the birth of humanity. That firstborn son of God had a special love for mankind. (Pro 8:22-31) So, after the introduction of sin bringing mankind's horrible plight, that firstborn son was the one to volunteer to come and redeem us. (Isa 6:8; Col 1:13-23) God then sent his firstborn Son into the world to be born as a perfect man from the Virgin Mary, and named Jesus.
(Heb 10:5-10; 1 John 4:9; John 1:14-18 and 1:29-30) Jesus taught us to know his Father יהוה (Mat 11:27-30) and then freely gave his life to buy back our opportunity for life. (Mat 20:28; John 18:37; Heb 9:28)
The Apostle Paul.
Gal 1:15 & 16 of 11-17 relates how Paul was chosen for the work of making Jesus Christ's message known to the Gentile nations; chosen to the task while still in his mother's womb.
All followers of Christ are disciples. His twelve hand picked followers, however, Jesus referred to as his apostles. (Mark 3:13-15) Paul is thus the thirteenth apostle hand picked by Jesus, (Gal 1:17 of 11-17) apparently anointed by God while still in the womb, called by our Lord after Jesus's resurrection to heaven. (Acts 9:1-22)
Abraham's son Isaac had twin sons, Jacob [Israel (Gen 32:27-28)]and Esau.
יהוה knew and prophesied about Jacob and Esau while still in Rebecca's womb, that they would become two great nations and that the younger would serve the older. (Gen 25:19-23)
John the Baptist.
The Bible tells us John was called to service before he was even conceived. (Luke 1:5-17) My belief is, however, even God couldn't know John before he existed. John, however, is another very special circumstance. Apparently, Elijah spirit was resurrected into the womb of John's mother Elizabeth to become John the Baptist (Mat 11:13-15) for the purpose of announcing the coming Christ; and preparing the world to receive him. (Mat 17:10-13; Luke 1:67-80; John 1:6-18) God needed someone he could trust for that task, hence his use of Elijah's spirit. God did also send the spirit creature selected for the task of saving minkind to be born of Mary as the perfect man Jesus Christ; and to pay our ransom. (Rom 3:24-26)
