The First And Last Adam

 Psa 8:3  When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 

Psa 8:4  what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? 

Psa 8:5  Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 

Psa 8:6  You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, 

Psa 8:7  all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, 

Psa 8:8  the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 

Psa 8:9  O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! 

Gen 1:26  Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 

Adam sinned and the devil took away Adam's dominion over the earth. The last Adam from heaven came as the son of man, a man without sin.

1Co 15:45  Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

 Through Jesus those who trust in him are given back dominion. Jesus is Lord of Lords and king of kings. Every knee will bow to him.

Php 2:6  who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 

Php 2:7  but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 

Php 2:8  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 

Php 2:9  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 

Php 2:10  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 

Php 2:11  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

When we are with Jesus in heaven, we will be higher in authority than the angels. 

1Co 6:2  Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 

1Co 6:3  Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! 

How Majestic Is Your Name
