“Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet.” Ps. 8:6. See Gen. 1:26; Heb. 2:8.
4. How did man lose his dominion?
Through sin. Rom. 5:12; 6:23.
5. When man lost his dominion, to whom did he yield it?

6. In tempting Christ, what ownership did Satan claim?
“And the devil, taking Him up into an high mountain, showed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto Him, All this power will I give Thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.” Luke 4:5, 6.
