I

God created all things, and so He makes all creation come under His dominion and submit to His dominion; He will command all things, so that all things are in His hands. All of God’s creation, including animals, plants, mankind, the mountains and rivers, and the lakes—all must come under His dominion. All things in the skies and all things on the ground must come under His dominion. They cannot have any choice and must all submit to His orchestrations. This was decreed by God, and it’s God’s authority.

II

God commands everything, and orders and ranks all things, with each sorted according to their kind, and each in the place where they belong, according to God’s desires. No matter how great it is, no thing can surpass God, all things serve the mankind created by God, and no thing dares to rebel against God or make any demands of God. Therefore man, as a created being, must also fulfill man’s duty. Regardless of whether he is the lord or caretaker of all things, no matter how high man’s status among all things, he’s still a minuscule human being under the dominion of God; he is no more than a minuscule human being, a created being, and he will never be above God.
