animal that moves on the face of the Earth” God created human
beings; He created them godlike, reflecting Gods nature, He created
male and female, God blessed them” Prosper! Reproduce! Fill the
earth! Take charge! Be responsible for fish in the sea and the birds
in the air, for every living thing that moves on the face of the
Earth” Genesis 1:26-28 [MSG]

The curse once rooted becomes a stronghold that has to be submitted
to the authority of Christ to bring it down. God’s redemption plan
was already accomplished even before the fall. The account is made
mention in Revelation as its said of Christ;

“And all the inhabitants of the earth will fall down in adoration
and pay him homage, everyone whose name has not been recorded

in the book of Life of the Lamb that was slain [in sacrifice] from
the foundations of the world” Revelation 13:8 [AMPC]

God symbolically kills an animal to provide cover for man as He
drives them out of the garden.

The Lord God made tunics of [animal] skins for Adam and his
wife and clothed them. Genesis 3:21[AMP]

Shedding of blood was for remission of sin. God cannot behold
iniquity. It was the ultimate price of redemption that God had to
offer His own son that He should die on the cross. The blood then
cleanses man from the sin of disobedience that led to the fall and
the curse is broken off him.
