75-9 Does God make vessels fitted for destruction?


Romans 9:22-23  “What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory…?”

(I Recommend reading 75-2 first) 
Although the above verse is presented as a question, it is more of a statement that Paul used to teach the early church about the purpose God has for some people, or as the Potter, the use for His vessels.
Just as God has specifically designed each one of us with a purpose and a calling, so has He designed the wicked, that He endures with much patience, with a destruction.
The great destruction is not just used as a punishment; it is used to reach out to the lost and show His wonderful mercy to those still in darkness so that they may turn away from their worldliness.
