Free will or Soverign God in relation to righteous Prophets

In the Prophets there is a point at which God says “no more! That is it! I am going to punish you…I gave you the chance!"

There are times where the faithful and righteous followers of God intervened through prayer and God listened...God gave his people another chance.

Then there are times when God refuses to listen to even the righteous when the his people have broken the "threshold" (if it where). Then it is all God, no matter what the righteous followers do or say.

Of course the argument could go for or against either side...ultimately a Sovereign God is going to punish them eventually or ultimately the people were going to choice to sin and life a lifestyle of disobedience.

But I want to look at both sides of the argument and say that in the Sovereignty of God and in the responsibility of man –there is a balance! Through-out Scripture and in real life...

Sure Calvinists and Arminists can fight all they want but I want to look deeper and see that both sides have a point. Look at Scripture and see the balance.
