The Subdue and Rule Mandate, Everybody Wants to Rule the World

4 Volume Series

Available in Kindle, Paperback, and Hardback Editions

At every person’s core lies a powerful, God-given drive … the impulse to take dominion, to shape the world according to their vision. In the Book of Genesis, God issued humanity the ‘Subdue and Rule Mandate,’ commissioning us to bring His newly created earth under orderly, loving stewardship for His glory. This Mandate is the reason we instinctively seek control and influence. It is why, deep down, ‘Everybody wants to rule the world.’ But when humanity rebelled against God, this holy commission became twisted. We turned the Mandate against one another, transforming ‘Subdue and Rule’ into ‘Conquer and Dominate.’ The result is the long, violent story of human history filled with power struggles, oppression, empire-building, and war.

In this compelling 4 Volume Book Series, Dr. Jay Christianson, Founder and President of HighBeam Ministry, traces the Biblical origins, tragic corruption, and promised restoration of the Subdue and Rule Mandate. Weaving Scripture with insights from history and today’s headlines, Dr. Christianson reveals why people are capable of breathtaking creativity and progress, yet perpetually fall into conflict and destruction. The Subdue and Rule Mandate is a wake-up call. It helps readers understand why nations clash and relationships fracture … and, most importantly, how Jesus Christ is redeeming and restoring the original Mandate through His life, death, resurrection, and ongoing mission in the world. An eye-opening, thought-provoking read, The Subdue and Rule Mandate equips you to grasp the person God created you to be and the extraordinary purpose He has for you.
