Good point. And yes, God only purposely speaks to but a small fraction of all people, even as Jesus spoke in parables so that the crowds wouldn't understand Him.
Matthew 13:11 breaks it down in essence:
He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of Heaven have been given to you, and not to them."
The only way to understand the Bible or accept the message of Jesus Christ is if you've been given eyes to see and ears to hear. This is a gift from God (grace), not something achieved by the individual.
