In Kabbalistic terms the sphere (and Sfira) in which we humans operate is called מלכות, Malchus. Malchus means monarchy, and this begs the question: What does Monarchy have to do with our sphere of activity?
The Gaon of Vilna explains that the primary function of Creation is for us to find the presence of God in Creation. Ultimately, it is our mandate to discover the God permeates the entirety of Creation, as much as that doesn't seem to be the case to the naked eye at the present time.
The concept of Monarchy demands that there be only one monarch and not more (אין שתי מלכים משתמשים בכתר אחד). God created all the forces that appear to oppose Him in order for us to ultimately come to the realization that there is no other. It is our activity in bringing about this revelation, that gives the name Malchus to our sphere.
