   He knows who they are, but what He's saying is that   
   he knows they never had a personal relationship with   
   Him. Therefore He never knew them.   
   >

   Apparently they will only know Him when they realize   
   they were wrong to not truly believe in Him before   
   the day of judgment arrives. Once they realize they   
   are actually with Him and about to be judged for   
   their lack of belief, of course they will be trying   
   to tell Him that they did all those things in His   
   name.   
      
   Those are the kind of people who go to church on   
   Sunday, and then forget all about the Bible and   
   Jesus for the next six days. This is what the   
   Bible says about them, as I pointed out previously:   
      
   [quoting] "For such people are false apostles,   
   deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of   
   Christ.   
      
   "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as   
   an angel of light. It is not surprising, then,   
   if his servants also masquerade as servants   
   righteousness. Their end will be what their   
   actions deserve." [end quoting] 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
