Reply To: Praying About Past Events and Parshas Sh'mos.

Mod,

If you posit that HKBH is the Creator of time and does not live in linear time as we do, then you have to accept that the future already exists. Since He exists at all points in the timeline, the future portions of those timelines must already exist.

obviously from our perspective, cant be changed.

Why? If we can conceive of the idea through countless science fiction stories, it should certainly be within the capabilities of HKBH to do.

would it ever even enter our minds to daven that a certain person should never have become ill 2 weeks ago?

Why not? You’ve never had a moment where you said “I wish I hadn’t done that?” or “I wish that hadn’t happened?”
