What does Romans 11:32 mean? For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone. NLT


Does this scripture mean that God made everyone disobedient just to have mercy on us?
I do not believe so. In fact, the NKJV version tells it a little differently and doing so it lines up with more scripture. 


  32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have
  mercy on all. -Romans 11:32 NKJV


God doesn't "make" us be disobedient but rather he brings to light our disobedience so we can repent.


  4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is
  the Lord who judges me. 5Therefore judge nothing before the appointed
  time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden
  in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time
  each will receive their praise from God. -1 Corinthians 4:4-5
  
  There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that
  will not be made known. 3What you have said in the dark will be heard
  in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner
  rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
  "4'I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body
  and after that can do no more. 5But I will show you whom you should
  fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to
  throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6Are not five sparrows
  sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
  7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be
  afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.'"- Luke 12:2-7


The point it is making is that according to God we are all disobedient and therefore we all need mercy and grace. He provided that grace through the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
