Amazing Insight - Man Rules over All Animals and Fish  
 

 By Gregory Berge  Articles For Christians


What if I told you that you are the ruler over all the animals in the world? Well if you're a woman, you might not be allowed to boss these animals around. It specifically says," let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Genesis 1:26

Just because you're a woman, doesn't make you a loser in the Bible. Well maybe it does, there are plenty of Bible verses telling women to be subservient to men. Should women be treated like animals? No, I couldn't find anything in the Bible that told the man to rule over women, but he specifically states that man will rule over all animals.

Now let's get back to the first sentence of this article. What if every man was the ruler of all the animals? This would allow every man the ability to walk into the forest and start bossing these animals around. If you're a controlling person, this could be right up your alley. You could walk right up to a lion and tell them to do something.

Here's a good example: You walk up to the lion and tell them not to eat any more of your animals. After all, you and all the other men are the rulers over this kingdom. You tell the lion that you will not tolerate any more of this behavior. The lion doesn't respond to you and your wondering if he even understood you. Since you are more intelligent than the lion, you demand him to answer, immediately.

The lion chooses not to answer you and now you start to become irritated. Since you rule over the animals, you can do whatever you want to them. You remember that the Bible says to love your neighbor, love your enemy and do good to those who hate you. After thinking about this for a few minutes, you walk up to the lion, to start loving him, but before you get too close, he strikes you in the chest with his large claws and pushes you back.

You soon bleed to death, but before you die you realize that you weren't doing a very good job as ruler over the animals, could you have done something wrong. You wonder if your ignorance is going to be penalized on Judgment Day and will God let me enter the kingdom of Paradise. If you believe that you truly are the rulers over every animal, then start ruling them. However, if this sounds like a fairytale. You could be right.

I wonder if a subservient woman would have made the same mistake as the man did with the lion. Sometimes I believe that women are smarter than men and I hope that I didn't offend any women, while writing this article. There are plenty of parts in the Bible that irritate me and offend others. Servitude and slavery are one of them.
