Genesis 1:28
And God blessed them and God said unto them;
1. Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth, and subdue it
2. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth
This IS the very fist command given unto mankind...
Genesis 2:19
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field...
Wow that says to me that God Himself was confirming that Adam was the god of the earth.
Adam, have DOMINION.
Now let's take a look at the blessing of Abraham...
Genesis 12
I will make of thee a great nation (a holy nation of Kings and Priests)
I will bless thee, and make thy name great
You will BE a blessing
I will bless them that bless you
I will curse him that curses you
In thee shall ALL families of the earth be blessed
Genesis 17
I will make my covenant between me and thee
I will multiply thee exceedingly
My covenant is with thee
Thou shall be a father of many nations
A father of many nations I have made thee
I will make thee exceeding fruitful
I will make nations of thee and kings shall come out of thee
I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
I will give unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.
God then told Abraham his part of the deal; Genesis 17:10
You will keep my covenant therefore, and thy seed after thee in their generations
Every man child amoung you shall be circumcised and it shall be a token of the covenant between you and me x
Thank You Jesus xxx
So Lord, if Abraham is our Father shouldn't we keep the covenant that You made with him?
The Lord made a similar covenant with Noah;
Adam - Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth, and subdue it
Noah - Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Do not eat blood. Do not shed mans blood.
Abraham - I will make of thee a great nation... I will multiply thee exceedingly... I will make thee exceeding fruitful
Make disciples of nations

in fact Lord, was Abraham called a Hebrew before the law even came in?
