However it is YHvH who chose all who who would be chosen before the foundation of the universe. I do pray that all will come to know the Word of G-d, Who is Yah'shua.

Then He also must also have chosen them to believe in Jesus, His only begotten Son.
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." (John 8:56)
"And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal. 3:29)
"What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded." (Rom. 11:7)
To speculate that someone may be "chosen" and yet God does not bring to them the means to hear the name of Jesus and believe in Him is sheer folly in light of all the testimony in Scripture (Acts 8:26ff)
