The Commission
And 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 everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so. And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day (Gen 1:28-31).
Again, the Lord blessed His creation, and told them to be fruitful, to fill the earth, subdue it, and rule over it. The blessing of the Lord is sure, and even after the disobedience of man, the blessing was still upon him to accomplish all of these things. He has been fruitful and multiplied, filling the earth, subduing it, and ruling over it. The earth cannot be what it was created to be without man filling it, subduing it, and ruling over it, just as the Lord originally planned.
