Does the Biblical God have any desires that are not satisfied in every way and to the degree specified by Him?

This is a good question. If God desires ALL MEN TO BE SAVED will He fulfill somehow His desire ?
That is the argument of the Universalist. And they point to an Isaiah passage which says that God will accomplish all of His desire.
I think for the moment I will evade answering. Its kind of tough. I am not sure that I know the answer to that.
I think that He fulfills His desire yet not all will be saved.
