Think on this!
Adam had dominion over everything GOD placed in the earth before him. In my opinion, Adam named all animals and probably plants that existed at the time following his being created by GOD. So how did he name the animals and plants? He spoke out of his mouth words that he felt identified with the specific animal or plant he beheld. I want to think there was no rush to this at all, afterall Adam (at the time) had eternity to do this (there were no time constraints whatsoever). So he called/spoke/named the things that were never named into existence. GOD made Adam in HIS image and likeness and gave Adam the command to rule and reign the earth and to take dominion over it. So since Adam was in union with God (being like God and untainted in mind and thoughts as well as having similar desires), he was able to speak, decree, call things forth and they were established. Please read the following verses:
Gen 1:26 And 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth…(KJV)
Gen 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. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field…(KJV)
Are we in union with God? Are our desires and motives in line with HIS? Could we call forth, bring to pass, implement, establish new things by defining/naming the things we see or don’t see around us?
