Kingdoms of Man: Part Four (Purpose)

Sometimes, when I look around me, I ask myself, “Why did God ever bother to make a kingdom of man.” This topic may cause some debate, but let me introduce it anyway. It seems that God already has a community of willing participants in reality, up to the point where Genesis 1:1 was invoked. This became sort of obvious later in the book, when the LORD God said, “Let us”. This means that there was something, other than the LORD God, already–sorry, but I do have to use a kingdom of man word, here–existing before Genesis 1:1. Even if we go with the rhetorical mode of the, us, in the, Let us; we are still left with the fact that this indicates that God had a notion of there being something else, besides Himself: this thought, by itself, constitutes the existence of something else; for, what the LORD thinks is automatically in existence. The LORD speaks, in a slightly indirect fashion, of this aspect of His mind.

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.(Isaiah 46:9-13)
