God did not sin nor allow Christ to die for a single lost fallen angel, including the devil, therefore, none of them will be saved. Ah, but what of man? Man also is a fallen creature, a very seed of corruption and iniquity, just as fallen, just as depraved, just as putrid, just as rebellious against his maker, as the blackest angel now incarcerated in chains of Tophet. My friends, this awful doctrine of man’s total depravity, is so little preached and so little believed today, but it strikes the death blow to all kinds of heresy. I will not deal lightly with human nature. “The Lord look down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any, that did understand, and seek god, they are all gone aside, their altogether become filthy…” Psalms 14:2-3 “The wicked are strange from the womb, they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. their poison, is like the poison of a serpent…” Psalms 58:3-4 
 
As we run swiftly up to the National Elections (11/5/2024) remember that Satan is at work, but only to the extent God lets him.  It is comforting to consider that God COULD let Satan run free and He would still be the very same Perfect Creator that He now is.  He does not do that because of The Covenant (Testament).
 
NOT in the elections:
 
 
 
 
 
But the Lord does not save all. Why not? He does save some. Then if he saves some, why not others? Is it because they are too sinful and depraved? No, for the apostle wrote, ”This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15. Therefore, if god saved the chief of sinners, none are excluded because of their depravity. Why then, does not god save all? Is it because some are too stony hearted to be won? No because of the most stony-hearted people of all it is written that God will yet “…take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 11:19.  
 
NOT in the diseases and health risks:

We readily acknowledge that it is very humbling to the proud heart of the creature to behold that all mankind in the hand of god as the clay is in the potter’s hand, yet this is precisely how the scriptures of truth represent the case. In this day of human boasting, and electoral pride and deification of man, it needs to be insisted upon that the potter forms his vessels for himself. Let man strive with his maker as he will. The fact remains that he is nothing more than clay in the heavenly potter’s hands. And while we know that God will deal justly with his creatures, that the judge of all the earth will do right, nevertheless, he shapes his vessels for his own purpose and according to his own pleasure. God claims the indisputable right to do as he wills with his own. Not only has God the right to do as he wills with the creatures or his own hands, but he exercises this right, and nowhere is that seen more plainly than in his predestinating grace or particular redemption.  
NOT in the wars or rumors of wars (to include crimes):

The comments of the beloved Spurgeon, on this passage, are worthy of notice. He said, “Attempts have been made to prove that these words do not teach predestination, but these attempts so clearly do violence to language that I shall not waste time in answering them. I read as many as were ordained to eternal life, believed, and I shall not twist the text, but shall glorify the grace of god by ascribing to that grace, the faith of every man who believes. Is it not god who gives the disposition to believe? If men are disposed to have eternal life, does not he, in every case, dispose them to it? is it wrong for god to give grace? If it be right for him to give it. then is it wrong for him to purpose to give it? would you have him give it by accident? If it is right for him to purpose to give grace today, it was right for him to purpose it before today, and since he changes not, to purpose it from all eternity.”
