What does Deuteronomy 32:8 say about how God set the national boundaries of the nations?

Deuteronomy 32:8 says that when God divided the nations and separated the offspring of Adam, He set the bounds and national boundaries of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. This shows Israel is central to God's plan for all nations.

Les explains that Deuteronomy 32:8 refers to when God divided the nations and separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds or national boundaries of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. He stresses that everything God has done with the human race on this planet revolves around that little nation of Israel. Most of the world does not want to believe this, and it is hard to believe how one little nation of just a few million people can be so important in God's overall picture of the billions of the rest of the world. But as He said, at the core of everything is this little nation of Israel.
