[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. John 17:2
We are shown here that our Father gave Jesus control over all flesh. Jesus tells us that our Father did this so that He could give eternal life to all who have been given to Him. Can I get an amen from the choir here? The Truth is our Father gave all flesh to Jesus so that all flesh could have eternal life. Hey I am not misquoting this, Jesus said that all have been given to Him and He will give eternal life to all who have been given to Him.
Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11
Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord and isn’t that what we are told that must happen for a person to be saved?
Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord and Jesus will give eternal life to all who He has been given and He has been given all flesh! People eternity is going to be filled will all flesh. Some flesh will be transformed to be just like Jesus and we will rule and reign with Him forever, 1 Corinthians 15:52. Some flesh will be raised up from Hades to be made like the angels, these shall be the guests, Matthew 22:10 & 30. And some flesh will remain just as we are now, except they will never die. We know this because in Revelation 20 we are never told that those who are living, those who are not raised from the dead, when our Father comes to the earth are ever judged.
Jesus was super successful by going to the Cross and He will save all flesh from the Lake of Fire. He will allow us to come to know our Father and we will live forever with Him in glory.
Now, don't get me wrong, this Truth in no way limits what we are to preach on this earth. There is a Hades, Luke 16:23. It is a place of discipline and we are to go into all of the world and preach to all of the people, Mark 16:15. We are to tell them that the Kingdom of our Father is for them right now. We are to tell them the Truth that will set them free and we are to show grace to all, especially our enemies. We will not get to all, Jesus tells us that many will be called, not that all will be called, Matthew 20:16. A few who we are used to tell are chosen to be the Bride of Christ. The others we tell are called to be our guests at the Wedding Feast, Matthew 22:10. These people will first have to go through Hades to arrive at the Wedding Feast, 1 Corinthians 3:15. But amen, they will be allowed to attend.
