Answer 1

7

Answer 2

Well, honey, there were actually quite a few people in The Bible that God named before they were even born. We've got Isaac, Ishmael, John the Baptist, and of course, Jesus himself. So, to answer your question, there were at least four individuals that God decided to name before they even popped out into the world.

Answer 3

Solomon Josiah Issac Cyrus

Another Answer:

These four were known before their births and God sanctified them for a special purpose: Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Jesus Christ and the Apostle Paul (Jeremiah 1:1-5; Luke 1:13-14; Isaiah 49:1, 5; Galatians 1:15).

God instructed Hagar to name her soon to arrive son Ishmael for a specific reason (Genesis 16:11).

The same with Sarah naming her son Isaac due to Abraham and Sarah's laughing (Genesis 17:19).

In the Old Testament, names had meanings. Pharaoh's sister, a Princess named Moses meaning "drawn out," because she "drew him out of the water" (see Exodus 2:10).

2 Samuel 12:24-25

New King James Version (NKJV)

Solomon Is Born

24 Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he[a] called his name Solomon. Now the Lord loved him, 25 and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord.

Lastly, God spoke of two future people who would come to do His will: Josiah (1 Kings 3:2) and Cyrus (see Isaiah 44 and 45).
