The Gemarah Berachos 10a relates to us a conversation between
Chizkiyahu Hamelech, and Yeshayahu Hanavi. Chizkiyahu was deathly ill,
and the Navi Yeshaya came to be Mevaker Choleh (pay a sick visit).
Both
being great Torah giants, they have a disagreement. Did Chizkiyahu
still had hope of a full recovery, and he should continue praying... or
was it too late, and Chizkiyahu Hamelech was about to die regardless...
Ultimately,
Chizkiyahu prevails, and we now rule אפילו חרב חדה מונחת על צאורו של
אדם אל ימנע עצמו מן הרחמים Chizkiyahu davens, survives, and marries
Yeshayah hanavis daughter......
But, asks the
Turei Even, in the course of the discussion, Yeshayah hanavi said, that
it was "כבר נגזרה גזרה". We know from Rosh hashanah 18a, that once a
decree is made on an indavidual person, its NOT rescinded...
