I have a question of my own.

Do you pray for unbelievers to be saved? Why? If you do so you are asking God to violate their free will.

Sorry my FRiend, that is the wrong way to frame the issue. God only violates one’s free will when in His Sovereignty your willful acts can defeat His Sovereign plan. [He has held off the death of kings and prophets upon request to put off death, allowing more misery to accumulate over the king and his subjects and the prophet and his flock.] In fact, with His foreknowledge He is able to make ‘all things work together for good for them who are called according to His purposes.’ God can nullify the free will of anything which cannot and will not ‘work together for good for those who are called according to His purposes’. I believe that is why He will call out His Bride, remove His Body, take away His restraining BEFORE He begins the Seventieth year of Daniel’s prophecy to Israel. The will of the man of sin is to be released to run amok. And not knowing the Mind of God, we are unable usually to comprehend what are the riches of His Glory.
