We have all heard the creation story. How God created everything.
Genesis 1 verse 27 to 29:
V 27: "So God created man in Hi own image; He created him in the image of God, He created them male and female."
V 28: God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth".
V 29: "God also said, 'Look, I have give you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed, this food will be for you".
God gave His creation the immediate responsibility to tend the garden,. His creations ultimate responsibility was to bring the same order to the rest of the planet.
Genesis 1 verse v31: " Then God looked over all He had made, and He said that it was good".
Creations purpose over the earth was not instead of God, but because of God. We have been placed here for a purpose Jeremiah 29 verse 11.
Revelation 12 Verse 4: Speaks of the dragon being cast to the earth. Most likely the fall of Satan, and there was a fallen realm of darkness already existed on earth before God made Adam and Eve.
Which would mean God created order in the midst of disorder so those made in His image might represent Him by extending the borders of the realm He created for them, to the rest of the planet. The borders of the garden needed to be extended to the whole planet so it would be covered by god's glory through His creation.
We are created in His image to live in relationship with Him, but we need to use the relationship to go to the fallen part of the world, to bring the goodness of Our Lord and Our Friend to it. Thus establishing what first creation was created for.
God Bless
