I am taking the course on Deuteronomy, and I have arrived at a section on intercessory prayer. It's my sense that there is a lot of theological debate related to Moses role, and Open Theism. Did Moses pray on behalf of His People/God's People and thereby change the mind of God? Did he talk God into not destroying Israel and starting over. Did God say to Moses, "I never saw that coming. What should I do?" In the passage I read, you cited Gen 20:7- The Lord says to Abimelech, "Restore the man's wife, for he [Abraham] is a prophet, and he will pray for you and, you will live." If I am reading this correctly, our omniscient Father is aware of the problem and knows that intercessory prayer will begin before Abraham knows. He also knows before it is prayed what His answer will be.
Isaiah 65:24- Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear. Whadayathink?
