So what am I saying?
I am saying that everything is already according to the Creator's design, and that nothing is wrong that some are reconciled but still lost and others are reconciled AND ALSO saved.
The big picture is not about how God will become all in all (when all finally repent,) but rather that God is ALREADY all in all, and never has He ever lost control nor is He disturbed that some are goats and some are sheep.
God isn't worried that some are wheat and some are weeds. God isn't concerned that some scatter from Him, while others gather to Him. God isn't bothered that some blaspheme the Holy Spirit and others bow down and become unchained-slaves to the Holy Spirit.
In fact, God only wants this to bear out until the end of time and the last day. Men are not changing what they are, they are revealing what the Father has made them, to the delight of the Son and the increase of the Kingdom. The increase is through the narrow road that few will find. Wide is the road to destruction ... that is fine. In fact, if that were not the case, THEN God would have a problem. There is no problem as it now stands that many (the VAST MAJORITY) are in dead-set rebellion, as they manifest that they are of their father, the devil.
A bigger concern is not that these are goats, but that some of them have put on a pious mask and are masquerading as sheep, but that will be judged in due time anyway.
Yet I say to you, forgive him and love him. Honor your father despite his iniquities and wrongdoings. For the Son has taken his punishment and forgiven him, if he so chooses to receive it. Therefore, as I have forgiven you in the blood of My most beloved Son, also must you forgive those who have sinned against you. ~ God [Letters from God and His Christ - Volume 1 - See With the Eyes of Christ]
