Why History Matters | Episode 2

Stephanie Green Season 4 Episode 2

History was never of much interest to me until I started to read the Bible.
One of the most unique characteristics about the time we live in is that we are in, as most call it, the “Information Age.” Computer technology has given us the ability to have history at our fingertips. What makes the time we live in so much different than any other time period, is the ability to research through the internet.
While there are pros and cons to the world wide web (as well as a level of caution and discernment that is needed when using it), I have sought to use this to my advantage to gain a deeper understanding about the Bible. I’ve sought to understand what our Bibles have gone through, and how the roots of the Christian faith grew and spread, specifically over the last 2,000 years. What started as a study of the faith, quickly turned into a deeper study of world history.
This has been a sobering and humbling journey for me. What I thought I was going to learn about my faith as a great evangelization movement, actually exposed itself to be a dark and wicked movement that has quite literally conquered the world (until Messiah returns, of course).
Yahuah has shown me how the ancient serpent of old has gained his ground into truly being the “god of this world.” Unpacking how this has happened is something only history can teach us. I will explain this deeper as we go through Season 4.
The reason that history is so important, especially when it comes to the nation and people of Israel is because there is a deeper understanding that the body needs in order to navigate this topic biblically, historically, physically, and spiritually. History has been taught to us wrong, and because of this, it has created a narrative around a false prophecy regarding the end times that has deceived even the most earnest, zealous Believers into not knowing who they really are or Yahuah’s plan of redemption for mankind.
Because of this, and without having the right perspective, people are unable to be prepared for His return. They will find themselves to be the foolish virgins with no oil in their lamp. This is why this season is so dear to my heart. My goal is to help prepare the body, and I believe that we must study our history in order to put prophecy into context.
