Genesis chapters one to three tell the story about how Adam and Eve lost dominion over the earth when disobeying God’s mandate of not to eat from the good and evil fruit in Eden, coursing the whole creation and themselves into an agonizing life of decadence and death. –Romans 8:20-23

Since then, the whole bible becomes a developing timeline of God’s plan to restore his dominion over the earth through mankind (men and women) as his kingdom. The promise contained on the prophecies of a coming king to establish an eternal throne on earth, became into reality when Jesus appeared in human history as the chosen one to establish The Kingdom of God, and pass its dominion to God’s children, to continue the expansion of the kingdom.
