Gods OT Strategy (3)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


God had given Adam and Eve dominion over the earth. That was a big call, because once dominion and authority is given, it cannot be taken back. God understood the risk. He said that if they rebelled, “they would be as gods” (Gen 2:5). They would not just have the power to decide good and evil. They would control a world that had previously been controlled by God.

When they Adam and Eve sinned, they handed authority over the earth to the spiritual forces of evil. God lost control of the world. The fall was a huge disaster, because it left God powerless on earth. He still had authority in the spiritual dimension, but his authority on earth was gone. This was painful. God had to continue sustaining the earth daily, but he could not get involved on the earth that he loved. It took all the wisdom and power of God to turn things around.

Most Christians have quite a small fall in their theology. I suppose it makes us feel better.

The impact of the fall was far greater than we often assume. The reality is that God was squeezed out of his universe and evil was let in. The powers of evil stuffed up everything in the entire universe.

A big fall needs a big salvation, which is exactly what God achieved through Jesus. However, he had a lot of patient work to do, before he could bring that to pass.

      “That was a big call, because once dominion and authority is given, it cannot be taken back.”

      really? the god that created the earth, man, the universe, reality itself, can’t claw back dominion and authority from lowly humans? from man? that’s the stupidest thing i’ve read in quite a while. isn’t the grand final apocalypse, the resurrection, god using his authority and dominion to end the reign of man? i’m pretty sure a human life span of less than 100 years clearly indicates mans lack of dominion and authority. not the opposite. you jesus freaks are all over the hymnbook aren’t you…
