Hi Levy and folks,
The answer eludes me as well so the only hint is speculation within scripture.
God is ALL powerful and God plans to continue sharing His creation with each of us sometime in the future. All of human history shows that God plans to gift mankind with great power and authority. We know this because of what our leaders have been able to do to us even in their selfish desire to gain power for themselves. We can only imagine what could be done if power similar to what has already been seen were given to a righteous people to use according to God's will.
Just for a small example the giving of mankind, little people who were elected to manage the everyday affairs of a Nation such as the U. S. A., the power to speak the words and obliterate a whole city with one atomic bomb. Imagine that God permitted any leader of a nation to develop and use that amount of HIS power.
Then imagine further that God gave the same nation and other nations too, the power to control within their own silly hands and minds a hydrogen bomb that is 1000 times more powerful than the first atom bomb with the only restriction being M.A.D. mutually assured destruction if they misused that power for selfish purposes. Now that is scary! And yet God did it and is doing it.
So just imagine what kind of power and authority God shall grant a family of righteous sons and daughters who have been glorified to be like God's only begotten son the Lord Jesus, who if you have seen him you then have seen the Father. WOW
Gen.1:26-28 And God said, Let us (be making) make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Heb. 2:6-8 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownest him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Heb.2:8-10 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not see all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Rom.8:18-19 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Rom.8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
