To your primary question, the answer is, “We don’t know.”
In this life, we must accept that there are questions which have no answers. There is plenty in God’s universe that we will simply never know.
The scripture says that the day will come when “we shall know, even as we are known.” Until then, we have no choice other than to simply say that we don’t know.
“God will find His own and keep them always. No matter the circumstances.”
Yep, that’s why he’s letting thousands of Christians to be slaughtered around the world.
And what’s this about “His own”? I thought we were all “His own” after all he created all of us. No?

That’s true, but the OP offers a HOW God goes about doing that.
I think the points in the OP solves this problem.
