Psalm 78:41 (NKJV)
Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel.
Psalm 78:42 (NKJV)
They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

Psalm 78:41 (NASB95)
Again and again they tempted God, And pained the Holy One of Israel.

The Hebrew word which is translated LIMITED in the KJV is difficult to translate because it occurs only once in the Old Testament. It can also be translated PAINED or CAUSED PAIN. Other translations use words like PROVOKED or FRUSTRATED.

The Hebrews followed Moses and trusted God to deliver them from slavery in Egypt but they would not trust God to meet their needs with a constant stream of miracles. They would trust God for this and this but not that.
We should not start feeling superior because we are often like that.
Over the centuries theologians have developed a strange idea based on some Bible texts ripped out of context. They say that because God is almighty and in control, He is always successful in all His plans and no one can resist His will.
God called Moses to lead the Hebrew slaves out of Egypt, through the desert and into the Promised Land of Israel. How do we know? GOD SAID SO!

Exodus 3:8 (NIV)
So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey–the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
Exodus 3:17 (NIV)
And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites–a land flowing with milk and honey.’

Did Moses go into the Promised Land? He did not. Did the Hebrews go into the Promised Land? Only two of them, Joshua and Caleb.
Does that mean God’s purpose failed? No it did not.
BUT MOSES AND A WHOLE GENERATION OF HEBREWS FAILED TO ENTER INTO THE FULNESS OF THE PROMISE BUT DIED IN THE WILDERNESS.
Was this failure of God’s plan a failure of God? No. It was a failure of called people to fulfil their calling to the end.
If we look at the big picture in the light of eternity, God’s purpose prevailed but it was tragically delayed by disobedience. God will do what He declares He will do in His prophetic Word. If one man fails, He will raise up another. If one generation fails, He will raise up another. If one nation fails, He will raise up another.
However it is tragically still true today as it always has been, that some people die in the wilderness when God called them to go into a Promised Land of victory, conquest and blessing.
Are we passively waiting for Revival to Fall on us out of Heaven? Are we thinking that Revival is a work of God, so we cannot make it happen and should not actively strive to bring it to pass? If this is our attitude, we are dangerously deluded.
God fills the hungry souls with good things.
Matthew 5:6 (NIV)
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
The Spirit of God will strive with us to make us hungry for God and longing for holiness and revival but we can respond willingly or we can resist the Spirit. Some theologians cannot see this because they are obsessed with a certain philosophical notion of the sovereignty of God, the idea that everything happens because God wills it and determines it, like sexual abuse of children perhaps!?
The Bible says we can seek God or flee from Him. We can be filled with the Spirit or we can resist the Spirit.

Acts 7:51 (ESV)
“You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-20 (ESV)
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise prophecies,
Paul urges the early churches to be filled with the Spirit. The Greek indicates we must be continually seeking to be filled again and again and more and more. It is a decision we must make over and over again. It is a choice. You and I, not God, will choose today and tomorrow how hungry we will be for God.
Ephesians 5:18-19 (ESV)
18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,

Auf der anderen Seite denke ich eben auch, dass man es sich zu einfach macht, wenn man wie Calvin sagt, dass die Menschen hilflos dem göttlichen Willen ausgeliefert sind und nichts selbst entscheiden können.

ich glaube, dass judas einen freien willen hatte und sich sehr wohl dagegen entscheiden konnte, auf den feind zu hören. prophetie (auch AT-prophetie) ist ja keine schicksalsbestimmung.
vorsehung ist zwar durch die nazis etwas negativ belegt und überstrapaziert, aber ich kann mit dem theologischen inhalt sehr gut leben. ich stelle mir das auch in etwa so vor.

Und das Beispiel mit Judas ist – denke ich – auch nicht so gut, weil Jesus gerade bei ihm erwähnt, dass durch seinen Verrat die Schrift erfüllt werden soll.

Solange ich bei ihnen war, erhielt ich sie in deinem Namen, den du mir gegeben hast, und ich habe sie bewahrt, und keiner von ihnen ist verloren außer dem Sohn des Verderbens, damit die Schrift erfüllt werde. (Joh 17,12)

Die Bestimmung beinhaltet ganz klar auch, wo wir die Ewigkeit verbringen werden (z.B. Apg 13,48). Ich nenne das lieber “Vorhersehung” als “Bestimmung”, weil Vorhersehung mehr den Aspekt einschließt, dass Gott unsere Entscheidung schon kennt, der Begriff “Bestimmung” betrachtet das Ganze eben mehr von dem Punkt der Allmacht Gottes aus, der uns ja so geschaffen hat, wie wir sind.
Aber das Thema wird wohl immer ein Stück weit ein göttliches Geheimnis bleiben, ich bekomme da immer einen Knoten in den Kopf, wenn ich drüber nachdenke.
