Kingdom sons 1
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26
Adam never lost his dominion over the earth, what Adam lost was the image he was made in. Instead of the image of LIFE having dominion over the earth, Adam brought froth the dominion of death. Now the image of this world is the image of Adam or the image of death.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: ... Romans 5:12
Adam was to be the image of the One True God as the head of God’s government over all the earth. Adam was the appointed ruler over all and he was the final work of God’s hands.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
Yes! This crowned image was ordained of God to rule over all the earth!
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the God (angels), and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: ... Psalm 8:4-6
The term “thou hast put all things under his feet: ...“ shows us that man has all authority over the earth, the creation of God!
He was to be the head of all for Adam was the only created thing that had will!
YES. Adam was able to do as he willed, not like all of creation which was subject to what God willed for it. Adam had choice for we see it when God said to him “... And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29
Adam was able to pick and eat what so ever he desired from “every herb, every tree” upon the face of all the earth. The beast of the earth, the fowl of the air and every thing that creepeth upon the earth where given,“every green herb for meat...”
You will notice the difference between Adam and everything else. Adam was given “seed!”
With seed Adam was able to sow anywhere he chose to and reap where he sowed. It was his right to for he was given dominion over the works of God’s hand!
Now some can say “Frankie some beasts, fowls and every thing that creepeth upon the earth eat the fruit of the trees.” I could respond to that by saying; "Yes we do have some today." However, since the fruit of the trees were for Adam I feel after sin and death entered the world those creatures ended up being the curse upon the fruit trees of Adam.
Let me share an example. We have fruit trees in our yard and one tree yields blue berries that birds just love. They will attack the tree with boldness that we are almost able to slap them out. They are a curse to us for they steal our fruit. However, having a mind to think we are able to stop the birds from eating our fruits. We cover the tree with a black net and the birds can’t get to the fruit. The same applies to some bugs that creep upon the earth. They like to eat certain fruits or vegetables we grow and to fight back we apply an organic powder that kills them and saves the fruit.
So yes certain creatures partake of the fruit of the tree but I feel it came about because sin and death entered the world.
It truly shows who has been given authority over God’s creation.
The down side, and by that I mean now that sin and death rules over the world God needed to redeem all back to Himself for sin and death separated all creation from Him. The whole of God’s creation belongs to Adam and yet the Life of God was not to be found for Adam gave sin and death dominion of all God placed in Adam’s control.
A man lost it and it took a man to redeem it back!
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling (return to favour with, be reconciled to one) the world unto himself, ...” 2 Corinthians 5:19
YES! For God to have anything to do with creation He had to become a man! He than would be the second man for the first Adam (man) lost it all to sin and death.
The first man (Adam) is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the "Lord” from heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:47
God’s Word that spoke forth all, was now replaced with darkness which brought about death. We can see this when we see how the Word became flesh.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was LIFE; and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men. And the LIGHT shineth IN darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ... And God said, Let there be LIGHT: and there was LIGHT. And God saw the LIGHT, that it was good: and God DIVIDED the LIGHT “from” the darkness. Genesis 1:1,3,4
“...the LIFE was the LIGHT of men.” John 1:4
The “... the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep” and God first breath, His first set of words was “... Let there be LIGHT”
The Life (God) was the Light (Word) of all things made by Him!
YET, As the LIGHT of all He had nothing to do with this dominion of Adams for it was lost to sin and death.
The link between God and creation was now plunged in darkness and all creation has been subject to death.
For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption ... Romans 8:20,21
“IN HOPE” What a gift given unto all creation .... HOPE!
“For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” Romans 8:24,25
What is the hope all CREATION is waiting for?
“...itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Romans 8:21
GLORY Lord Jesus for soon all creation and your children shall be redeemed from this body, this world of death into your GLORY which is Your ENDLESS LIFE.
