Back in time, when we started our adventure in extension from the void, we had to produce certain examples for the coming population of mankind. These examples could be either destructive or constructive. Fortunately for us, the destructive example was not given an enduring span; because, the LORD has no ordinance for repetitively destroying his Creation.
The LORD does have ordinances for repetitively–some may say, cyclically–constructing the layers of the kingdom of man. And, it seems just perfect that; the LORD uses human examples, to accomplish the construction, and, too, to remove us from the need of concentration only on ours. To pull us from that void, God set this human, Noah, as an ever enduring example in the history of the kingdom of man.
In Noah, as by the LORD, the kingdom of man was introduced to certain beneficial attributes of the constructive example type of entity. These attributes are the kind that we can emulate. One of those attributes is seen in the following Scripture.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
(Genesis 6:7-10)
Also–as encased in a marvelous mix of, integrity, and, emphasis on world consideration–the LORD gave Noah a family mind. This is not the same as, biological capability to produce sons; which, we saw, above. The family mind is superlative to biological capability; as, it is the means of preservation of the biology of the family. In Noah, we see that in action, here.
