"The future" is a construct imagined by us.

If god knows everything, the universe is deterministic, meaning that while the future has not appened, it is possible with sufficient knowledge of prior events and computing power (both of which an omniscient god would have) perfect predictions of the future can be made.

If the universe is non-deterministic, then an omniscient god is impossible, as he cannot know the random elements which make the future indeterminate.

Did you think, that like you with electromagnetism working differently before humanity discovered its workings, that I haven't run through my idea before making it public. There possibly are ways to refute it, but throwing out a basic misunderstanding of indeterminate processes isn't one.
I see you're going to ride that dead horse into the sunset. Have fun!

Why stop at all possible futures, you might as well throw all possible pasts in there, And you'll have to include all possible now's as well...just to be sure.
