In a parable Jesus tells of the master who puts his faithful servants in charge of cities. Is ruling cities just a metaphor? Randy Alcorn suggests that it might not be. He quotes Dallas Willard who says that asking if we could rule over a city now is good preparation for eternity. Randy shows what Scripture says about the reality of our rule.

Randy Alcorn quotes Dallas Willard who says that we were created to govern the earth and were therefore made in the divine likeness of God. Randy further clarifies that the statement found in Genesis 1 that we were created in the divine image is in the immediate context of our God given job to rule the earth.

Some think that because Jesus said in John 18, "My kingdom is not of this world" there will be no rule of God on Earth, but Randy Alcorn shows from many Scriptures that God's rule is clearly intended to extend to this world. Though at the time of Jesus' first coming his kingdom was first a spiritual kingdom meant to save souls, Jesus will rule on the earth.
