God spoke to the animals and said, "Be fruitful, and multiply..."

He told us to have dominion over the fish, birds, cattle, earth, and creeping things.

Genesis 1:27  "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."  More about this later.

Genesis 1:28  " And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air  and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

So we get His blessing.  What more could a man or a woman want than the blessing of God?  And then he tells us the same thing that he told his animals:  "Be fruitful and multiply... and have dominion over it..."

But in the middle of all that, he tells us to "...replenish the earth..."   Replenish?   Think about that.  Could it have been "Plenished" before this?  Perhaps between Genesis1:1 and Genesis1:2?

Re----plenish.  God's first words to man.  And we have perverted reproduction--God's gift to a man and wife.  The first thing he told us to do.  The world has turned the gift of God into recreation and entertainment.  We will have to answer for this at the judgment.
