God’s will for man, according to the book of beginnings, Gen. 1:26-28, was then and is now, that man tread down, subjugate, crumble off, come to have dominion, make to have dominion, prevail against, reign, bear, make to rule, rule over, and take dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds in the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing, and every living thing that moves on the earth. That’s the definition of dominion and God gave dominion over the earth to man. “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 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: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas, Ps. 8:4-8 (KJV). We were given authority from God to have dominion over the works of His hands and therefore have been equipped spiritually, mentally and physically for that mission. Adam began to walk in that dominion. “And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him,” Gen. 2:20 (KJV). Man’s relationship with His Creator was the beginning of that dominion and when that relationship was interrupted that dominion was placed in jeopardy and perverted. “And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden,” Gen. 3:8 (KJV). In Christ all that Adam lost was restored including man’s dominion.
