God gave up the right to punish along with dominion.
God, in Eden, gave man dominion over the whole earth and all the entities on it.
Some also believe that Satan was given dominion here. If the temptation of Jesus is believed to have literally happened then this supports the notion that Satan has dominion or the temptation was a farce that Jesus would have seen through. He did not deny Satan’s dominion.
If God gave dominion to man and it was somehow transferred to Satan, then God would have giving up any right that he would have to punish anyone here because he does no longer had dominion here.
As above so below indicates that if he can punish us and basically usurp the sovereignty of Satan or man, then this policy is what man should follow. This says that some other country coming to enforce their laws in our countries, would be allowed and proper. I cannot see any country allowing this and if they cannot, then God also cannot.
God is shown quite often as coming to earth and enforcing his laws. Sodom and the genocide in Noah’s day are prime examples of his doing so.
My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of my lips.
—Psalm 89:34
Who has dominion on earth?
Does God have a right to enforce his law?
If so, why?
If not, then is he breaking his own word?
