[Dr. Eckleburg]

God desiring all men to be saved is an outward call, not a decree. In literal terms, and in conformity with God's plan, God does NOT want all men to be saved. That much is plain from casual observation, or God is a titanic failure.

Amen.

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" -- Isaiah 46:9-10

Men have always been telling God who He is and isn't rather than listening to Him tell us exactly who He is -- the one who declared "the end from the beginning."

"That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been" -- Ecclesiastes 3:15

We can't go wrong by stating God's sovereignty too often, considering the world conspires to erase it entirely and replace it with men's "good choices" and "free will" righteousness.

Amen, Dr. E.! Your scripture quotes ring true, as always.
