"And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth./ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day." (Ge.1:22-23)
Upto v.21 what the everlasting covenant has laid out dealt with the seed that was in itself. The word was God and the heaven and earth seeded with the will of God. The life was in Jesus Christ and the quality of it was to bless life in whatever forms it took. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men"( John 1:4). Marine life and terrestrial life alike were to be blessed in the man created after our image and after our likeness. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." (Ep.1:3)
God gives man a body after the likeness of Man glory of which is different from other lifeforms. "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds." Their glory is considered as one with the body God is pleased to give man. It is for this reason God laid own one fifth the value of it. "f a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep."(Ex.22:1) The man and ox is considered as one since the beast is his livelihood. As a steward he represents the day Five as he is counted one with Christ in his glory. (1 Co.15:38-39).
Everlasting covenant blesses man as a steward so vv.28-31 is on account of ' wherein there is life,". These blessings once released is from everlasting to everlasting.
