Eye Opening....excellent read about the fate of empires.
Men can scarcely be blamed for not learning from the history they are taught. There is nothing to learn from it, because it is not true.
Note, the “they are taught”.
So, we need to learn the real history and tell the stories.
Very few will read your article and reflect on it.
Our path will be the same but different.
We can read it and be depressed. The Invisible Hand has the big picture. The battle is the Lord’s.
BUT
We are called to pick up our short sword and engage one other person. Just one at a time. The are many small engagements to be won.
