Genesis 1:26
Then God said, " 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 circumstances
that move along the ground."
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 circumstances
that move along the ground."
Genesis 1: 26 tells us that God created us and put us in control of the rest of his creation, therefore we should care for it, so it is returned to him, at the very end of the age in, great condition.
