壹 神创造了一个团体人,不仅要彰显祂,也有祂的管治权管理万有以代表祂─创一26、28:
I. God created a corporate man not only to express Him but also to represent Him by having dominion over all things—Gen. 1:26, 28:
一 圣经启示三一神造了一个人,是按着祂的形像并有祂的管治权,以彰显祂并代表祂─26节。
A. The revelation of the Bible is that the Triune God created man in His image and with His dominion to express Him and represent Him—v. 26.
二 神在祂的神圣三一里,按着祂自己的形像创造了一个单个的人,并且把全地的管治权托付给这一个人;我们越经历并享受三一神,就越在神圣形像和神圣管治权的实际中长大─27~28节,林后十三14,弗三14~17。
B. God in His Divine Trinity created a singular man in His own image, and He committed to this man dominion over all the earth; the more we experience and enjoy the Triune God, the more we will grow in the reality of the divine image and the divine dominion—vv. 27-28; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 3:14-17.
贰 神给人管治权,目的是征服神的仇敌,那背叛神的撒但─创一26、28:
II. God's intention in giving man dominion is to subdue God's enemy, Satan, who rebelled against God—Gen. 1:26, 28:

二 创世记一章二十八节的“制伏”含示,神在地上与祂的仇敌撒但之间进行着一场激烈的争战;谁赢得地,谁就得胜。─引用经文
B. Subdue in Genesis 1:28 implies that a war is raging on earth between God and His enemy, Satan; whoever gains the earth will have the victory.
三 神有一个难处,就是天使长撒但,他背叛神,并成为神在宇宙中,特别是在地上的仇敌─赛十四12~14,结二八12~18:
C. God has a problem, and this problem is Satan, the archangel who rebelled against God and became His enemy in the universe and especially on the earth—Isa. 14:12-14; Ezek. 28:12-18:
1 根据创世记三章一节,神的仇敌撒但藏身在地上的一种爬物─蛇─里面。
1. According to Genesis 3:1, Satan as God's enemy hid himself in the serpent, one of the creeping things on the earth.
2 神为了征服祂的仇敌,从而解决祂的难处,便赐人权柄管理祂所造的万有─一26。
2. In order to subdue His enemy and thus solve His problem, God gave man authority to rule over all things created by God—1:26.

4 神需要人行使祂对所有爬物的权柄,也需要人制伏并征服背叛的地,好使神能恢复地来为着祂的国─太六9~10。
4. God needs man to exercise His authority over all the creeping things, and God needs man to subdue and conquer the rebellious earth so that God may recover the earth for His kingdom—Matt. 6:9-10.
四 神要用人对付祂的仇敌;为这目的,神造了人;神要受造的“人”对付受造而堕落的“撒但”─创一28。
D. God wants to use man to deal with His enemy, and He created man for this purpose; God wants His creature man to deal with His fallen creature Satan—Gen. 1:28.
五 “人如果没有从撒但的手下把地收回来,那就还没有达到神创造人的目的。……对付撒但是为着神的好处。……对付撒但是为着满足神的需要。”(圣洁没有瑕疵,十三页)
E. "If man has not restored the earth from the hand of Satan, he hasnot yet achieved God's purpose in creating him…Dealing with Satan is for the benefit of God…Dealing with Satan satisfies God's need" (The Glorious Church, p. 11).

2. God wants to regain the earth; the earth has become a crucial place, a place that Satan wants to hold and a place that God wants to regain.
3 人受托付要繁衍增多,遍满地面,并制伏这地─28节。

C. During the millennium the earth will become the kingdom of God, and in eternity the New Jerusalem will come down out of heaven to the new earth—Rev. 11:15; 21:1-2.
肆 神给人管治权,目的是运用神管理地的权柄,使神的国得以临到地上,神的旨意得以行在地上,神的荣耀得以显在地上─太六10、13下:
