RE: 5. Compare the birth of Chinese civilization to ancient Greece.

in #history4 years ago (edited)

History is full of examples of men assuming the title of "Son of Heaven" or similar. In essence, "decreeing" themselves as a god (small "g"). The Bible tells in detail what the end was for some of these fools. My favorite is God drove Nebuchadnezzar, after his "decree," out into the fields to graze on grass, like a cow. On all fours ... "After a time," he was allowed to regain his authority over his kingdom. Whereupon he wisely issued a new "decree" about who the real God was, even in that pagan kingdom.

Sadly, this father failed to pass on this lesson to his son. Who paid the ultimate price. Resulting in, among other things, Babylon and its magnificent Hanging Gardens being decimated by the Persian armies God raised up against them. The devastation was such that men have never inhabited that land again, as was foretold by His prophets ...

Do we learn from history? Very rarely ... We are now living in a time where once again man is being brought to the end of himself. We'll find out together what the future holds, as a result ...


You put a lot of work into these posts my Korean friend. Have you found a community into which you can post them @silvergrifin007? I see no indication this one has been posted to a community. If true, then it will just show up in your blog. Which, in turn, will only appear in the "Following Feed" of those following your account.

To be precise and exact, one might also find your work, if they were to click on the tags you have chosen to use. From what I read "in here," though, that is much less common than it used to be. Communities have overtaken these tags as the best means of drawing attention to your work.

Also, I see you have provided credit to the source of some of your images, but not for others. Specifically, your readers see no credit given for the numerous cartoon images illustrating what you have to say here about Sparta and Greece. If these cartoons are not your own work, you want to get into the consistent discipline of ensuring credit is given to the work of others, which appear in your posts.

Providing you a little help, as I believe you have requested. You are continuing to make progress and all can admire the tenacity you demonstrate in your efforts. Keep it up! 🙂 👍
