When we started to appreciate of the beauty of the LORD, as in a communal fashion; then, we were ready for a durable example. That point occurred during the time of Noah . . .
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
(Genesis 6:1-2)
In that day, physicality was gaining too much of an upper hand in man’s judgment of the weighting to give to aesthetics. So, the LORD moved us backward; to a place of very limited distractions. That was the point of an Adam-like environment. In fact, if not for the offense of Cain toward Abel, the environments would have been identical. In both of them, mankind started a world on the strength of three sons and one set of parents. Actually, it was identical as in a spiritual, world-shaping sense. It was identical in that; Abel, too, contributed to the shaping of Adam’s world, thusly . . .
