From this first passage, we see two things: First, That it was the intent of God to make man in His image, after His likeness.  In other words, God created man (woman) in His image. He created man (woman) to be like Him, His Spirit image.  Man would be a god man in the earth with all the likeness and character and nature of God.  He would not be God but would be like God.  In fact, He would be a child of God.

The second thing that we find in this verse is that man was given dominion “over all the earth”.  “And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” This meant that man would be in charge of every thing pertaining to the earth.  So God made man in the image of Himself, created He them and gave them dominion in the earth.  God created man and woman in the earth and they would be just like Him.  As God was in the heaven, man and woman was in the earth realm. This is important.
