The Great Commission in Torah

Gen 2:18
(18) And Jehovah God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

Gen 1:28
(28) And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply and fill the earth, and subdue it. And have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the heavens, and all animals that move upon the earth.

God created the world to be ruled, ordered, and guarded by man. But in itself the commission was too great for only Adam. The animals were going to multiply.

Mar 16:15
(15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

"Go forth and multiply."

Luk 10:1-2
(1) After this, the Lord appointed 70 other disciples to go ahead of him to every city and place that he intended to go. They were to travel in pairs.
(2) He told them, "The harvest is large, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers to harvest his crops.

Although we may have a ministry partner, it's not our union with that partner that is bringing forth this fruit. That has already been accomplished with our union to Jesus. It is our relationship with Him that brings forth the fruit of the kingdom. That is why we must abide in Him, and co-labor with Him, for it is not good that we are alone.

"I will make a helper suitable for him."
Joh 14:26
(26) "But the Counselor [or, Helper], the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, that One will teach you* all [things] and will cause you* to remember all [things] which I said to you*.
