They contain only natnumbers which have ℵ₀ successors.

There are no naturals with a finite number of successors, otherwise
you could count backwards from the end.

That is possible: ω-1, ω-2, ω-3, ...

Wrong, omega has no immediate predecessor.

You cannot see the whole sequence from 1 to ω-1. But there are more
things in heaven and earth than you can see.
