Romans 15:4 NIV “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through endurance and encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.”
The Bible is an amazing book! It’s depth is deeper than any ocean and covers even more ground. I have a learned pastor who is a master at teaching the Bible. He ties the old and new Testaments together by aligning scripture verses beside each other, creating a beautiful quilt of God’s word.
Yet, for those of us who aren’t Bible scholars or teachers of the word, it is a book of love, direction, help, wisdom, examples, and parables. The stories within rival any fiction on today’s market! God’s word is alive; it is breathed by the Holy Spirit.
2 Timothy 3:16 NIV “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
We all grew up hearing “learn from my mistakes” or “looks like history is about to repeat itself.” you may have heard a time or two, “didn’t you learn from the last time?”
This is what history is, reading and learning from those who walked before us, whether from the books we studied in school or the Bible that depicts the beginning of time. Historical accounts of men and women who gave us examples of how and how not to live.
The greatness and the mistakes of our forefathers! The trial and error of those who blazed trails for us to follow. The path that leads to heaven and the one that leads to hell! It’s all there in black and white! History is alive in front of our eyes for all of us to see, read and learn from or to possibly fall like those mighty empires and giants who came before us!
Where are the Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medes, Persian, Greek, and Roman empires today? These were mighty cats in their time, but they did not heed wise counsel and thought they knew it all and that their size was enough!
I don’t care how big we get or how much money we acquire; it would behoove us to pay attention to words of the wise, pages of old, and history repeating itself.
It would be wise to be prepared, for history is about to repeat itself, and we must be ready!
