OK we are not going to have a discussion that means anything. I can see that you do not know the answer that I asked, therefore you try to shift the discussion another way. So here is the answer to your "all" question.
Matthew 2:2-4 King James Version (KJV)
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and "all" Jerusalem with him.
"All" Jerusalem was not troubled. Probably, a good 90% did not even know this was happening. So to say that "all" Israel was troubled is a little too much.
Matthew 3:4-6 King James Version (KJV)
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
I suggest that not "all" Judaea and "all" the region round about Jordan came to John and were baptized, confessing their sins.
Matthew 10:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
From the beginning Peter and the apostles were indeed hated by "most" men, but certainly not "all" men. Thousands of men loved and almost worshipped them. So no, not "all".
This 3 examples out of many that "all" in the bible does not always mean "all". Am I right? Or, am I off my rocker?
When talking about men---yes---when talking about God---nope. When it says ALL things were made by Him--followed by--and without Him was not any thing made that was made. That means every thing--period.
