I learned from Strimple that “viceregent” is not a word. “regent” is a word, and it already means what you want, i.e. not the king, but an appointed delegate for the king. So maybe a death makes a baby technically King, while the baby grows up the country will be ruled by a “regent”. Also learned from Strimple that “gerent” is a word (not just a misspelling of regent)!

And so isn’t the import of what happens in Gen3 when God promises the seed of the woman, the fact that they *don’t* receive the specified judgment?

Adam and Eve are *not* sent to the lake of fire. They are not damned. Damnation (not mere physical death) was the death that was threatened, and it’s not carried out. Rather, God has mercy on them.

So the fact that they don’t die physically that day doesn’t require us to say “in the day” doesn’t mean that very day. It was a real threat that judgment would be carried out that very day. But the judgment of death threatened wasn’t mere physical death, it was being cast into hell body&soul. And they wouldn’t have experienced separation from their bodies in physical death, had they received the due penalty.
