All Your Eggs In One Basket by Dr. Michael H Yeager
To risk, all one has on the success or failure of one thing! All or Nothing!
This idiom comes from an old proverb, most likely Spanish or Italian, and first found in print during the 17th century. It alludes to gathering all the eggs from your hens into one basket so that if you should drop the basket, you lose all your eggs. If someone puts all their eggs in one basket, they put all their effort or resources into doing one thing so that, if it fails, they have no alternatives left.

Biblical examples:
#1 Noah and his family-building the ark
#2 Enoch walking with God-whole pursuit
#3 Abraham offering up Isaac-obedience
#4 Hebrew children in the fire-not bow the knee
#5 Daniel in the lion's den-kept on praying
#6 David facing Goliath-uncircumcised
#7 Jesus dying on the cross-salvation and redemption
Revelation 13:8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
#8 Day of Pentecost -the coming of the Holy Ghost
#9 Paul and Jesus Christ
Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
