Many will be saved and yet most choose their own lordship over God. They are all to interested in wanting to do things they way they want and meeting God face to face would cause them to change.
Even in Israel the outer court where people went to seek God was very small compared to the size of the population as most simply do not want to seek Him. That is a sad commentary on fallen man- they run away from true freedom and joy in order to protect the corruption they have in their lives.
