God blessed us to subdue and rule over all the creatures. This blessing covenant of God is never ending. God’s word is truth. Truth is never changing, but keeps going until being accomplished. In the Old Testament Israel people abandoned all the blessing and rights of being sons of God, brides of God, and priests of God by disobeying the Old Testament law. Israel people did not know how precious blessing was. They never recognized that they lived temporary home and they were given eternal life. Again, the most biggest and glorious blessing given by God is to be priests of God and of Christ, and to reign with him for a thousand years (Revelation 20:6).
Jesus Christ came not to abolish the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill them (Matthew 5:17). Jesus completed His mission through coming to earth and by dying on the cross to save, resulting in restoring our identities in God, which are identity of son of God, of bride of God, and a royal priest of God.
Original sin from Adam and Eve is removed by Jesus’ love, so that we, who are sons of God, are not judged anymore. This is different concerning the Israelites of the Old Testament who could not set free from the law of sin and death (Exodus). In Old Testament, the sons of God, the Israelites, abandoned their identity by showing love to the betrayer. Also, the book of Hosea said the bride of God, the Israelites, were punished by the adulterous and the unfaithfulness. As 1 Samuel wrote (1Samuel 2), the curse of prophecy against the House of Eli, a priest, occurred due to not observing God’s Law.
yeah that's about right
