God not only created Adam and Eve; He made them to rule over the created world. All authority was committed to them. God does not rule over the world directly. Rather, He has committed the authority to rule over the world to Adam. When the Lord Jesus comes back again, He will set up the millennial kingdom on earth to rule over the whole world. Just as the creation of Adam in the preceding paragraph relates to the Lords coming, the commissioning of Adam to rule over the world relates to His kingship. In the millennium God will hand over all authority to Christ and cause Him to rule. Philippians 2:9 says, Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name. There are many other Scriptures that speak of God giving authority to Christ to be the King over all things and to rule over all things in the millennium.
