“Was it irrevocable? Is it possible that God could have been merciful instead?” “Merciful instead? Nouriel, do you still not understand Him? God’s will is that none should perish. Judgment isn’t His desire…but His necessity. The good must bring evil to an end, or else it would cease to be good. And yet His mercy is still greater than judgment. His heart always wills for redemption. And therein lies the hope.”
