GOD, YAHWEH ELOHIM, GAVE ADAM AND EVE DOMINION OVER ALL OF THE EARTH, AND INSTRUCTED THEM TO TAKE ACTION TO SANCTIFY THE EARTH AND DISPLACE THE POWERS OF DARKNESS THERE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF TRANSFORMING THE ENTIRE EARTH INTO THE GARDEN OF EDEN OR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GOD ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS TO THEM: HE SAYS THEY ARE TO BE FRUITFUL, TO INCREASE IN NUMBER, TO FILL THE EARTH, TO SUBDUE THE EARTH, AND TO RULE OVER ALL THINGS ON THE EARTH.
GENESIS 1:28 SAYS:
"GOD BLESSED THEM AND SAID TO THEM, 'BE FRUITFUL AND INCREASE IN NUMBER; FILL THE EARTH AND SUBDUE IT, RULE OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA AND THE BIRDS OF THE AIR AND OVER EVERY LIVING CREATURE THAT MOVES ON THE GROUND."
THEY ARE ALSO TO SERVE AS PRIESTS IN THE GARDEN AND AS WATCHMAN OVER THE BORDERS. THIS COVENANT THEY HAVE WITH GOD IS CONDITIONED ON THEIR OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD TO THEM: THEY MUST NOT EAT FROM ONE TREE IN THE GARDEN, THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.
GOD DOESN'T WANT THEM TO JUST BE PASSIVE BUT TO ACT. HE IS INSTRUCTING THEM: TO SERVE GOD; TO GUARD THE GARDEN; TO BE FRUITFUL; TO INCREASE IN NUMBER; TO FILL THE EARTH; TO SUBDUE ALL THINGS; AND TO RULE OVER ALL THINGS. HE GAVE THEM THE COMPLETE AUTHORITY TO ACCOMPLISH HIS TASK BECAUSE THEY HAD THE TREE OF LIFE WITH THEM.
THE TREE OF LIFE REPRESENTS YESHUA, JESUS. HE IS THE GOOD LIGHT THAT ENTERED THE WORLD AND WAS SEPARATED FROM THE DARKNESS. HE IS LIFE ETERNAL AND HE IS THE WORD OF GOD. YESHUA SAYS:
"I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." JOHN 14:6
THE APOSTLE JOHN SAYS ABOUT YESHUA:
"IN HIM WAS LIFE, AND THAT LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN." JOHN 1:4
ADAM AND EVE HAD TO RETURN TO THE TREE OF LIFE ON A CONTINUAL BASIS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THEIR LIFE AND TO RECEIVE INSTRUCTION FROM THE WORD OF GOD. GOD GAVE THEM THE ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH HIS GOAL OF SPREADING THE KINGDOM OF GOD THROUGHOUT THE EARTH BECAUSE THEY HAD THE POWER OF GOD THE FATHER AND YESHUA, JESUS, WITH THEM.
