What did God designate for the nations when He divided their inheritance?
When the Most High divided the nations their inheritance, He designated their borders, population size, and blessings. He also set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel, as stated in Deuteronomy 32:8. This reveals God's sovereign ordering of all nations.
Les explains that Deuteronomy 32:8 is written by Moses but spoken by God Himself, the sovereign, almighty God. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, He was dealing with all the nations of the world. Les says God designated where their borders would be, how large their population would be, and how they would be blessed in one way or another. When He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. Les notes that some may accuse him of making too much of the nation of Israel, but he asks how you can.
