A Fivefold Blessing From the Word of YHVH
Genesis 1:28Read Genesis 1:28
Be Fruitful: Loving effort
Multiply : Children provided for by loving effort
Replenish: Flow through 2 & 3 everyday - trust YHVH for 1
Subdue: When the protected are threatened - chase off adversity
Dominion: Maturity in Word and deed - an thus Shine (see Genesis 1:3)
Thoughts
Involution
If we the start at the dominion and move to the former from the bottom up, we look for enemies to subdue first in a world that needs to be replenished with healthy Spiritual Fruits, then we are already subtracting from the word so we are dividing it wrongfully now, and now we have to work hard to produce fruit and its the fault of....whatever <- however little a kingdom, this is not dominion because its faithless.
Evolution
I am using the 2nd definition - I want to take this word back to the Torah which is Man Nature expressed and earth is something else nature expressed. If we start with the Fruit (of Spirit) in thanks of the Blessing, we provide a foundation that can lead to healthy homes for children and love to exist. Now we have a platform to replenish and heal. That leads to obedience and obedience keeps adversity at bay because boundaries are set at healthy levels. Our family can mature and will Shine in a dark world as a loving example.
At that point I am not surprised to see we end up right back in a Garden of abundance with trees for food....those trees must have looked beautiful and delicious right? A Tree of Life and a tree of /Dath/ amongst all that abundance - reminding us to daily take up diligence in walking in obedience YHVH Elohim in the Spirit of Truth.
