I do not think it is possible for God not to have known who would believe. Either omniscience is eternal with God or there is a period in which God was not God.

When did God NOT know that which was/would be written in the Bible?

God's actions and decisions would then also have to be co-existent with that knowledge, meaning that God's knowledge of who would believe could be in the context of His efficaciously bringing it about (as in the Reformed view).
