Christ bought the earth back from Satan to whom man had given dominion through sin. Christ then sent the HolySpirit to us whereby we could preach the Gospel to every creature transforming the earth such that the Lord`s will was done here as it is in heaven. For the past 2000 years the earth has been back under the dominion of man who was to administer it under the authority of Christ. We have dropped the ball horrendously, giving place to the devil on every front and failing to resist him in any of his plans.
