The point is that no one, including Rick Warren, knows who Jesus will elect to save or not. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." God is not a genie who can be corked in a bottle. No one owns God, and a careful reading of the Bible shows that he has saved all manner of persons. Samson, a righteous judge in Israel, by the power of the Holy Ghost which came upon him, murdered thirty men and stole their garments to pay off a gambling debt. So-called Christian churches never go near these complex themes.

"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that hardening in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED, as it is written: 'The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.' Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."

From the time of Adam the Son of God until Abraham, the father of the Hebrew nation, was 1948 years. From the time of Jesus the Son of God, called the second Adam, until the re-emergence of the nation state of Israel on the world stage (a miracle in itself) was 1948 years. The times of the Gentiles is fulfilled.
