I believe God sent her the dream, but he also knew Pontus would crucify Jesus.
As Saint Paul says, this sweeps ashes over their heads. Not your doing but rather God’s.
Romans 12:20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
Further, I do not believe Satan has the Power to do something God won’t allow. So in essence, Satan’s acts are God’s.
This doesn’t make God evil in any way. All humanity has choices—we have inherent Free Will.
But so does Satan. Satan more than any other CREATURE, has run away with his choices, well knowing, beyond any other creature, the penalty for this.
Agreed. “I believe God sent her the dream, but he also knew Pontus would crucify Jesus.”
Similar to God instructing Moses what to say to Pharaoh and what plague to call down; knowing that Pharaoh wouldn’t budge anyhow.
