Predestination in simple terms is stated in the Abstract. (Ge.1:27-28) God blessed man and made him a steward of His creation. In this MOU between God and Man whosoever adopted into the Fellowship is according to the everlasting covenant. So the eternal word included him to which time and place are of no consequence.
In the divine Will we examine the Father Son relationship which has consequences. As St Paul speaks of 'the good pleasure of his will' so adoption is intended for the glory of his grace, "wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ signifying the doctrine of God as doable. It is thus eternal aspect of Holiness we see through the prism of the Son. Abiding in him our adoption is conformed in Jesus Christ. (Ep.1:3-5)
Compare the analogy made by writer to the Hebrews, "(Levi) payed tithes in Abraham./ For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him." (7:9-10)*. We were dead in sins by the same account when the emblem of the slain Lamb was created in heaven.
Predestination was set rolling when God set forth the decree Ps.2:7-8) and accordingly we were all foreknown. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. (He.13:8) The testimony of Jesus Christ. (Re.3:12-13)
In order to understand fully the concept of predestination we have to examine why St Paul was ' apprehended of Jesus Christ. (Ph. 3:7-12)
"Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus."
Predestination of God is often brought to more clarity by use of persons so that the Promise of God to Abraham ("all families") are represented simultaneously. How does one do it but in terms of Time as reconstituted by the Spirit? We have two instances of Jesus and Joseph historically divided in time and place.
