The Lord's Motivation for His Divine Creation
Do you find it unreasonable to ask the Lord why He would want creations in His image and a visible universe? Was God not satisfied and pleased with an invisible realm of angels and powers to rule? Now, where do you think the answer lies for that question? I am aware of this one thing: God is very patient with us humans and that alone shows me that He must love us to put up with our disobedience this long. Love is the nature of God.
Remember, one such characteristic is that "God is Love".
Constitutional Scripture: I John 4:8, 16 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Keep in mind, He does not say He "has" love but that He "is" love. This is a very important distinction when it comes to understanding His motivation. If God IS love, then His actions would naturally or supernaturally be the manifestation of the nature of love.
One of the obvious qualities of love is that love has to give and share itself. If this be so, then the very nature of God would be to desire to share His rulership and government. In other words, love is fulfilled when it gives and shares itself.
Now remember, it is this inherent nature of love that motivated the King of Heaven to create spirit children (They are called mankind) to share His Kingdom rulership. What I am saying is this: man was created for the purpose of rulership and leadership.
This is why in the message of Jesus, when He described the age of the Kingdom of God and its provision for man, His indication was that this Kingdom belonged to man before earth was created. Read what Jesus stated:
Constitutional Scripture: Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world".

God shared His invisible Kingdom with His offspring.
