Hebrews 8:8-12J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)
8-12 Actually, however, God does show himself dissatisfied for he says to those under the first agreement: ‘Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. None of them shall teach his neighbour, and none his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more’.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

For everyone to know God, will be a wonderful unique thing to behold. I would like to know God, I think that would be quite something. In Job 23:13 it explains that God is of one mind and then asks " Who can turn him?" It says what his soul desires, " That he does!" In 1 Tim. 2:2 it explains that he desires all humans to be saved. Its just stunning to think about all being saved. A most merciful development.

I recollect the first time I heard that 'He will not save everyone'; and my thoughts were 'how can He Give Life and then destroy that Life?'.
Warmest Regards.

Greetings,
Yes the mentality of God is amazing, those parts of it that we can see. He definitely has universal intentions for humanity and we are given windows to it, in another example, in Isaiah 66:9 God asks an interest question with definite universal intention; " Shall I bring to the birth , and not cause to bring forth? Says the Lord; shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God!" In my view, this suggest that God will not allow any human to be lost. I mean its how I see it. It like God is saying, in paraphrase; " You think I would create all these humans, only to let some of them die and somehow loose their eternity with me!"
In Isaiah 49:15 this suggestion continues, " Can a woman forget her sucking, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes they may forget, yet I will not forget you." Human salvation is important to God. For his own reason , Isaiah 48:11.
I think its interesting that God also relates the " Suffering syndrome in humanity." Isaiah 48:10, " Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver, I have chosen you in the" furnace of Affliction!" The furnace of affliction , my goodness that describes the road of a human being opened to this reasoning of God and being shown a definite hardship in their lives. Just makes you think.
Peace.
