11 Truths of Divine Creation

7) Man was Created to Rule the Earth.

Listen to the words God spoke to Adam and Eve at the beginning of time, specifically the 6th literal day of creation as found in
Genesis 1:27-31.

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth. Then God said: Behold I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food; and it was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there were evening and there was morning the sixth day.

Adam and Eve were God’s servants, and their duty was to govern the earth for Him.
