Mix 'n' Match Spheres

I don’t think I’d ever really thought about the land “sphere” as corresponding to the family before reading Deacon Matthew’s comment:

garden/sanctuary; land/family; world

Ros would of course have told me off for not remembering the importance of the land to family continuity.

And if land naturally suggests nation, if the nation is the (extended) family writ large, then the family link ought to have been obvious.

So is there the further correspondence of spheres:

(1) church / sanctuary / garden

(2) family / home / land

(3) state / palace? / world

Does the civil state fit more properly in (2) or (3)? Maybe the construction above is a bit too suggestive of the rather worrying idea of a world-empire other than that of the Lord Jesus Christ?
