Poor old Calvin did not have Access to the Hebrew, in his day, and it desperately shows in his Doctrines.
There is really No Other Way to understand this but as it is written and point blank:
וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּ֥ם מִשָּׁ֛ם אֶת־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ וּמָצָ֑אתָ כִּ֣י תִדְרְשֶׁ֔נּוּ בְּכׇל־לְבָבְךָ֖ וּבְכׇל־נַפְשֶֽׁךָ׃
But if you search there, you will find your God, if only you seek with all your heart and soul—
Rather Clear, we are to SEARCH and SEEK, then we will FIND God!

I agree that is horrible !!^
Makes me wonder why you are in your own satanic religion, then, Greek Myth?
Considering your Doctrinal Points come from the Septuagint, and not the actual Hebrew itself, because Calvin admitted he did not have access to the Hebrew [No One but the Jews did in Calvin's day].
So, your Doctrine, is literally based off the MYTHICAL HELLENIZED GREEK, not God's literal WORDS at all!
Let me show you what YOURs and Calvin's Hellenized Greek Bible has as God's Holy Word:
UNICORN:
Listed 7 times:
Job 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
Your Doctrination, is based off, a Bible, that includes, Greek Myth!
And just to pop your false, Election Doctrine, one more time here:

The problem is in the "with all the heart" part. Only those given a new heart and new spirit (those born again), will search with all the heart and soul.
[Ecc 9:3 KJV]
3 This [is] an evil among all [things] that are done under the sun, that [there is] one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness [is] in their heart while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead.
That is why no verse of scripture should taken on its own as defining true doctrine, So, no "point blank" after all.

Now, I absolutely believe, that we are ALL Saved here.
But, which one of you actually Followed this Instruction, given to Moses, by Yahweh, Himself?
Which one of you has Actually Searched and Seek with ALL YOUR Heart and Soul to FIND GOD?
God, says we have the ABILITY to SEARCH and SEEK Him.
Which ones here, actually did, as God Commanded?

You use the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, YOU, don't even know, if your translation is correct, Which we know it's full of Greek Myth, to be questioning me at all!
You, don't even know which parts of the Old Testament are the Factual Literal Words of God, or Greek Mythical meaning from symbiotic Hellenized definitions.

Do you know what sits in the Temple, in the Holy of Hollies?
The Ark of the Covenant.
Which Bible did God CHOOSE for this, to be inside the Ark of the Covenant, the Temple, and more importantly, the Holy of Hollies?
TORAH [[HEBREW]]
Using any other version, is NOT, using the same version that God Chose for His Temple.
The Ark of the Covenant.

I believe Scripture supports that some people are indeed chosen by God for His glorious purposes, but that doesn’t negate what is overwhelming blatantly obvious throughout the entire Bible, that the opportunity for everyone else to respond to the Gospel not only exists, it is desired by God that everyone would do so.

But we know from Yahweh, He set Angels to watch over the other Nations:
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he divided mankind,
he fixed the borders of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God.
9 But the Lord's portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
Having Angels watching, is same as God, they are doing God's bidding.

Would you make that statement about OT times where God came almost singularly to only 1 nation?
There is a whole lot there and you are partly correct, but not according to your understanding. Suffice it to say, God, by and large, did not make Himself known to other nations intimately the way He did with Israel.

These verses are the foundation - no more, no less:
[Heb 10:7 KJV] 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
[Jhn 6:37-39 KJV]
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
[Heb 10:7 KJV] 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
[Jhn 6:37-39 KJV]
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
