NOT ALL MEN ARE PREDESTINED TO LIVE UNDER
THE ORIGINAL ADAMIC CURSE FROM GOD.

For disobeying Jehovah God, and listening instead to his wife's voice, the first man Adam lost the opportunity of gaining everlasting life. (Gen 3:17).

But those that have listened to God through His Christ Jesus, will have opportunity to "sit, each one under his vine" and be "free of disturbance", even to inherit everlasting spirit life. (Micah 4:4) (Isaiah 14:7). As for their enemies, those with satanic worldly authority who did "drive [others] to work", they will come to a stop, as the prophecy states. (Isaiah 14:3,4.  65:22-24).

It would not be in accordance with the Spirit of God's justice for men whom He has declared righteous to still be under the original curse of Adam. (Rom 8:33). Indeed if they were, it would have made The Christ's ransom sacrifice on their behalf redundant.

PREPARED ONES "BEFOREHAND"
ARE "VESSELS OF MERCY". (Rom 9:23,24).
Because faithful anointed sons of God attain righteousness by reason of their exercise of faith in Christ, they are "vessels" of His mercy and are truly of spiritual "Israel", as it is written: "That is why I say to you, The Kingdom of God will be taken from you* and be given to a nation producing its fruits." (Matt 21:43. Rom 9:6,8). And despite the fact that to natural born Jews belong the "adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the sacred service and the promises", what was taken from them* was the opportunity to be declared righteous solely by works of law. (3:28,29). Until today, they have stumbled over the "stone of stumbling": The Christ. (9:30-33 NEB. 9:4,5). All these things are dependant upon God's mercy. (9:14-16).

Interesting to note is that His mercy does not extend to obstinate ones. (9:18). The administration of His mercy is so that His Name is declared in all the earth (9:17), and in the places where it was said to His beloved people: "'You are not My people,' (where once they were rejected and ostracised) there they will be called 'sons of the Living God.'" (9:25,26).
