Could God harden the dead heart of one who would not ever turn, since He knows that they will not turn because He sees the beginning from the end, to bring about the results He desired by using that person for His purpose (i.e. Pharoah, Egypt and the Israelites). Therefore, the person who was destined to hell remained that way and God used them inspite of them self to bring about what God intended in someone else's life.

 

Food for thought.

Lord Bless,

    We can see here in Romans that when God hardens a heart, not only is Jesus Glorified but others benefit from this action.  I happen to one who benefits from this.   I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ. {Rom 11:25}  As we all know God Thoughts are WAY WAY PAST ours.  As we trust and obey God; Pray and Believe His Will be done; know that The Spirit knows all of our hearts.  We also know that God Alone can Judge.  So when we read things like these events in The Word, we all at times consider if things are, "fair."  We know life is not fair, nor are we promised fair in the Word.  We are Justified through Christ.  God is Just!!  I hope I did not stray to much, and made sense.  

We are so Blessed by His Love.
