All this is part of prophecy, as you know. Yes but one still wants to pull them back from the edge.
I heard a sermon once where the preacher said "What if everyone that you knew was marching toward a cliff and they didn't see it but you did? What would you do? What lengths would you go to to help them see? Those that are unsaved have the next footfall over that edge." That has stuck with me over 20 years later.

Yeah, I heard a similar one about someone wanting to commit suicide by drowning and one person insisted on saving them. The outcome there was the suicidal person was eternally grateful. Yes, we must at least try.
