“In this way the boy knew the things of the past through the
devil, and the knowledge of the future came to him from God, who thus wanted to
counterbalance the other’s work. Let the boy, then, decide which way to turn:
to choose the Devils path or our Lords.”(309)
Was this ability God gave him going to be a blessing or a
curse. It is a big responsibility and can be a lot to handle having “knowledge
of the future”.
Why did God decide to keep his “gift” of knowing things of
the past when it came from the devil. Did God want Merlin to have this temptation,
so he could choose God? Did God have that much confidence in Merlin, where he knew he would choose good?
God had the ability to take away the "gift" from the devil, so why wouldn't he?
