The three great Biblical blessings: to be fruitful (mature and ready to bear fruit), multiply (have Holy family) and have (loving) dominion over the creation.

Had Adam and Eve obeyed this divine mandate and built the Kingdom of Heaven, there is no doubt that God would have felt the greatest joy as His sons and daughters rejoiced in the world of His ideal.

It all starts with the Family

Then I saw another angel ascending from the east (Christ), having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of those who were sealed.
