Why bring us out of the void? Why bother with us, at all? God has His Heaven, and the beings there are superior to us. I make that statement as by the strength of this message that is of the LORD.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

(Psalm 8:3-9)

But, wait; I see an interesting word: honour. This feels like it has a link to the realm of God, as being available to the kingdom of man. It seems that, God had a portion of His Heaven that overflowed. I wonder if there are any other things that are overflowing. Actually, I am sure that, there are other things that overflow. A certain conversation of one of us seems to indicate that; Heavenly overflow happens. It occurs as is reported, here.

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.

Generally, we think about life as being a progression of events. Unfortunately, this places us in a two-dimensional, limited mindset. You need to add a third dimension to your pattern of thinking. To help you do that, we will walk through a three-dimensional exploration of the kingdom of man. The three dimensions that I want you to consider are these: span, duration, and persistence. Span is like unto a true line–the kind that has no actual depth to it. For instance, a line is seen in a phrase such as this . . .

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

(Genesis 1:3)

The words of the phrase, kingdom of man, form a line of reasoning–more needs to be added to it, before it will have an ascertainable shape as for the mind of man. The duration of the kingdom of man adds the depth of progression; as, in its events. Please hold these thoughts, for later. We need to return to the easier, more compact, visualization that is in light.
