"When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel./For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance."(Deut.32.8-9)
First of all settle the point which Adam are we talking about? First Adam or the latter Adam? God judged him by keeping a gulf between him and the tree. This is established in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. "Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."(Lk.16.26) The former had the Law of Moses. Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham refers to a body in direct frame of reference to the body prepared for his Son. Notice the adjective,'great' and it is set by the Law of the Spirit. The open valley brought him to the hell and from thence he shall be cast into the lake of fire. It is the inner man of the Rich Man' who is talking to Abraham. The place where he ends up he shall be tormented by worms that die not and fire that quencheth not. Memory of him is forever lost because it is not in the book of the Lamb.
The Spirit mentions the name of Jacob who also has a name chosen by God. "Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed." The Lot of his inheritance is El-bethel. Israel refers to the latter Adam to whom all power and authority is given. The risen Christ says,"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." and also his presence is assured. "And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." As a proof we have the tree of life on either side of the river of time, indicating Alpha Omega aspect of the Word become flesh. "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life,"(Rev.22.2)
