We ought to want to view history from God s perspective and with his understanding, as much as he wants to allow us. History written and fed to the common folk is often described as if it were a chain of random events and spontaneous uprisings of the masses. However, the masses never do anything by themselves, they are always provoked and manipulated to act. A worldly historian writing for the masses mentions presidents, prime ministers, dictators, congresses, and parliaments but rarely will refer to the real powers behind the event, the actual rulers . While popular history is often portrayed as a chain of random events, History for many is actually a form of mystical idolatry.
People worship history.
The history of the Cosmos. The history of the planet. The history of dinosaurs. The history of human origins . The history of ancient peoples.
