Genesis 1:28-31

(God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold) 

 (Genesis 1:28-31)『And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 』 

 『replenish the earth, and subdue it』 It is to obey God completely. So, Christ rules all things. What God said to the first man, Adam, "replenish the earth, and subdue it" means that he will rule all things to the last saving Adam. In Hebrews 2:8『Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 』 『Replenish the earth, and subdue it』 This is to have the saints make the earth a kingdom of God. So, to build a kingdom ruled by Jesus Christ. When Christ rules us, Christ becomes our king. 

In Romans 8:19-21『For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 』 Those who are in Christ also become kingly priests. In Revelation 20:4『And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 』 

 God gave Adam vegetable and fruit trees, and green grass to life on earth. The seed continues to pass, grow, and thrive. The creatures on this earth must thrive and fill the earth. The land is not eternal. One day, if God's will is fulfilled, it will be burned. In other words, if all the spirits who have sinned in the kingdom of God come to this earth and return to the kingdom of God again, this world is over. In Romans 11:36『For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. 』 All things come from the first man, and the spirits of this earth return to where they came from, through the last Adam. It is a glory to God for all things to return to the Lord. It is an honor for the prodigal son to leave the house and return to his father's house again.

『And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 』 The reason God is so good is that the whole process of creation and the end will be done through this land. The people of the world think that this world was created very well in God's eyes, but Adam and Eve were deceived by the serpent and ate the fruit of the tree to know good and evil, and sin entered into this world and destroyed it. God created this world, built man (Adam), and created the Garden of Eden. So, God led Adam to the Garden of Eden. How is this world different from the Garden of Eden? Because this world created by God is not the same as the Garden of Eden. 

Because this world was built in the state of darkness to confine spirits. There is a tree of life in the Garden of Eden, the fruit of a tree that knows good and evil, and a snake. The Garden of Eden symbolizes the kingdom of God. So, the event of the Garden of Eden is a simultaneous explanation of both the kingdom of God and the world. When a person eats the fruit of the tree of life, the dead spirit survives. If you do not eat the fruit of the tree of life, the spirit dies. But what does the fruit of the tree that knows good and evil symbolize? People think with the power of God. But this too must be divided into that of the kingdom of God and that of the world. The fruit of the tree that knows good and evil in the kingdom of God is a delusion that Satan can become like God to the spirits. 

 『People believe that they can become like God』. It means nothing more than the righteousness of oneself. Satan has one's righteousness. At the time of Jesus, the Pharisees and scribes were those who fell into their own righteousness. Job was the representative person who fell into his righteousness. God is warning those who come into Christ not to fall into "their righteousness." The fruit of the tree that knows good and evil on earth is the Word of the Bible (Moses' law). The law tells what is good and what is evil. It is Satan who deceives the law to be righteous. 

What God has given the law is to realize that you are all sinners and to wait for the seed of future promise. In other words, go to the tree of life. So, those who enter into Christ in union with Jesus Christ must escape the law and eat only the fruit of the tree of life. The spirit can live only if we do not follow the old serpent that says that it is necessary to keep the law well under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 『And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.』

Through all of this, God promised to rest on the seventh day. Rest means entering into Christ. Why did people live in this world, and what was the state of the spirit in the flesh? When we enter into the Christ who saves the Spirit, we rest in Christ. Keeping the Sabbath is waiting for Christ to come. It means that those who are trying to keep the Sabbath are not resting. In 

Exodus 31:15-17『Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money. For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do. Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels; 』

 Eternal signs are promises and covenants. It is a promise between God and those who have left God. If you keep the Sabbath day well, the covenant will be fulfilled. However, human beings cannot keep the law. So, through this Sabbath ordinance, look to the eternal covenant Christ. 

 Hebrews 4:1-3『Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 』
