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.

Sometimes I get the feeling that some of the scientists of the world just do not understand the sequential nature of processes. Yes, I know this is a strange thing to say, since scientists are usually credited with being the masters of the progressive discovery of things. However, when it comes to the construction of the kingdom of man, there seems to be a disconnection between the process that drives our existence, and the primordial power that was required to instigate its creation. Actually, I should not be so broad-brush in my criticism. In reality, there is only a small subset of the group known as scientists, who are intent on skipping steps in the development of the kingdom of man. The apostle Paul sent a caution to one of the saints of his day, about these types of scientific shortcuts.

Among some of the believers in Christ, there is a push for a consolidated kingdom of man. This, however, would be contrary to Scripture–if such achievement were even possible. We need only look to Revelation to see that the capstone to the design of God accommodates kingdoms–and not just a single kingdom.
