1. Man to repopulate the earth (v. 1-7) All but 8 destroyed by flood.
After the Flood, the earth was essentially empty again. Only eight people remained to re-populate the earth. Just as with the Edenic Covenant, man was again commissioned to repopulate the earth, but the command to subdue the earth is not repeated. With man’s fall, he lost his authority and Satan usurped it. Thus Satan is the prince of the world (Jn 12:31) and the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). Satan has authority over all kingdoms of this world and can offer them to whomsoever he will (Luke 4:6) He made that offer to Jesus, who turned it down. The Antichrist will accept it (Rev. 13:1-3) |
