All three terms are accurate. It is God s command to man to make the world God s kingdom by bringing everything under God s rule and purpose. Eden, an enclosed area, was to be man s pilot project towards this worldwide goal. The whole earth, everything in it, and man were to be under God s dominion. The second great occasion of God s summons to dominion comes to and through Moses in the giving of the law.
Law is a key means toward dominion.
The giver of law is the lord of that people and society. In the modern world, either the state is the law or, as in anarchism, the individual. By denying the validity of God s law for all time, antinomians have denied the lordship of Christ. Logically, many of them deny His lordship. A lawgiver simply says, by enacting laws, I am Lord.
