Our God is a most Wonderful Creator


Our God is a most Wonderful Creator.  He created a physical Heaven and Earth.  He meant for man to live on this Paradise and rule the kingdom forever.  We are not told that Eden was a kingdom, but our Lord's command shows it as much.  God created the beautiful garden and pronounced it all good. Then He created man and woman.  Only then did He pronounce that all He had made was very good.  In this garden He placed the man and woman and told them to have a lot of children and fill the world with their offspring.  This indicates then a world wide population. 
The next words in Genesis 1:28 are words of governmental responsibility.  God told them to subdue the earth  That is a commissioning command from God to man that he should conquer the world.  Is that not a kingdom?  Further in the same verse God told Adam and Eve to have dominion over every living being in the sky, in the sea, and on the earth.  That is a universal, worldwide kingdom which God intended them to rule forever. 
This command or commission was given to Adam and Eve in their innocent condition before they sinned and plunged the whole human race into sin.  We shall see more about this later, but contemplate on this.  What do you think?
