The first thing God says about why He made man is that he will rule the earth. This implies Sovereignty, Stewardship, Subduing and Serving. Man's rule has so far been disastrous. Jesus has come to reconcile the earth to Himself, and to rule it. Those who recognise His rule and receive Him as Lord will also reign with Him. This reign will last forever in the renewed earth. We will explore, discover, improvise and innovate forever, developing the skills and technologies necessary to rule the creation and its creatures well and forever.
