Proverbs 16:4 is a text that theological grids are read INTO, not a proof text for either Calvinist determinism or open theism

Proverbs 16:4 — "The Lord has made all for Himself, yes even the wicked for the day of doom." Mike argues this text does not settle the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism; readers bring their grid to it. A strong Calvinist reading: God made the wicked specifically to be destroyed for His glory. Mike's reading: God is sovereign enough to use even the rebellion of the wicked for His own purposes — illustrated by Judas, who chose evil freely but whom God used for redemptive ends. The verse affirms God's sovereignty and the certainty of judgment without teaching strict determinism. Mike identifies this as closer to a Molinist/middle-knowledge view.
