That is allowed as God is not so big that He runs away from challenges. That He has never lost one should have been taken into consideration before assuming a certain number could be found. To win he would have had to have just talked to that many before God would have had to stop the fire from coming down.Russian Roulette with the Creator of the Universe? Pass.....
Ge:18:32:
And he said,
Oh let not the Lord be angry,
and I will speak yet but this once:
Peradventure ten shall be found there.
And he said,
I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
The reason God wins all the time is He stacks the deck in His own favor. Free will is promised, what is in the fine-print of that 'contract' is the when and where of that 'freedom' It is withheld the rest of the time until that one moment. For some it is at the beginning of the 1,000 year reign, for the vast majority it is at the Great White Throne event. In Re:21 they are viewed as being sinless by Almighty God and He offers them a drink that will have them live to eternity in a sinless world, really who is going to say, 'no thanks, I want the lake instead.'
Re:7:9:
After this I beheld,
and,
lo,
a great multitude,
which no man could number,
of all nations,
and kindreds,
and people,
and tongues,
stood before the throne,
and before the Lamb,
clothed with white robes,
and palms in their hands;
Re:7:10:
And cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb.
Re:7:11:
And all the angels stood round about the throne,
and about the elders and the four beasts,
and fell before the throne on their faces,
and worshipped God,
Re:7:12:
Saying,
Amen:
Blessing,
and glory,
and wisdom,
and thanksgiving,
and honour,
and power,
and might,
be unto our God for ever and ever.
Amen.
Free will after that follows the pattern described below.
Isa:65:24:
And it shall come to pass,
that before they call,
I will answer;
and while they are yet speaking,
I will hear.
