God subjected His kingdom on the spatiotemporal earth (renovated, degenerated and regenerated) to the limitations of time, space and mediatorial representation. He did so for a significant reason. When integrated with space, time presents a quantifiable environment. Together they allow for a measurable and, therefore, indisputable demonstration of the nature of God for the benefit of both the angelic host and the human race.
    
Measured by time and space, activity on earth is defined by specific ages. God designed each age to contribute to the fulfillment of His comprehensive, eternal purpose.
     ​
​According to the Bible, the specific ages associated with the fulfillment of the purpose of God on the spatiotemporal earth include:

Despite His foreknowledge of their failure, God chose beforehand to manifest His authority on the spatiotemporal earth through the mediatorial representation of angelic and human beings. Angelic beings mediated the kingdom authority of God on the original, eternal earth. In contrast, God chose human beings to mediate His authority on the spatiotemporal earth. It was predestined to occur in the following manner:

The original, eternal earth existed within the eternal kingdom of God (realm of divine authority). It served as a habitat for angelic beings. Positioned in the kingdom, they were privileged to personally witness the revelation of His nature on earth. Nevertheless, the angels chose to rebel against the authority of God.
    
Destroyed by the rebellion, the earth became chaotic, characterized by waste, ruin, emptiness, and darkness. Thus, it was unsuitable for continuation in the kingdom.
​        
Congruent with His eternal plan, God renovated the earth to again exist within His kingdom (realm of His authority). It provided Him with the opportunity to vindicate His nature and repopulate His kingdom.
    
Like the devil and his angels, the human inhabitants of the renovated earth also chose to rebel against divine authority. Although the rebellion was the cause of degeneration, the earth remained inhabitable. 
    
The ensuing forms of the earth, degenerated and eventually regenerated, would not exist in the kingdom of God. Nevertheless, the kingdom of God would remain influential. Rather than the earth existing in the kingdom, it would exist on the degenerated and regenerated forms of the earth within redeemed human beings.   
    
​After His purpose for the regenerated earth is fulfilled, God will then recreate the earth anew. Consequently, it will forever exist within His eternal kingdom.
