How does God's sovereign will come through despite leaders' free decisions?
God's sovereign will comes through because He foreordained all things while allowing men and nations to make seemingly free decisions. Even generals, admirals, presidents, and dictators choose according to their own wills, yet their decisions still accomplish His plan. Nothing is ever a day late, as Acts 2:22–23 illustrates.
Les explains that Acts 2:22–23 is a perfect example of how everything is under the sovereignty of God without taking away the seemingly free will of men and nations. He says everything comes to pass as God originally foreordained it, and nothing is ever a day late. Les points to World War II as the greatest evidence of this truth: God remained sovereign while generals, admirals, presidents, and dictators seemingly made decisions of their own free will, yet the sovereign will of God still came through.
