Their names had to be reset so their DNA matched with the name that Jesus Christ received of his Father. " Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:/That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;/And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."(Phi.2.9-11).
Both were inheritors by their own right. For proof they are included in the list of heroes of faith.* "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."(Gen.17.7)
Who are thy seed? We have the generation of Jesus Christ in Gen.1.1-5. And it is the Son who shall determine. "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:/That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him./Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life."(Jn.5.22-24)
*"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went./By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:/For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God./Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised." (Heb.11.9-11). They all died in faith.
