Bowing the Knee to Jesus Christ (Luke 13:34-35)

Bowing the knee to Jesus Christ is something each person will do, whether on this side of heaven or the next. Everyone will come to the realization that Jesus is the Son of God:
—Isaiah 45, verse 23 [God says], “To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.”
—Romans 14, verse “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
—Philippians 2, verse 10 At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.
How can it be that every knee will bow to Christ when we know many have rejected him? There are two ways people bow the knee to Christ: willingly in this life, or unwillingly in the next life.
