His Kingdom. God wants us to learn history because He was the one who inspired the Bible for us to
read as a historical book. Although the Byzantine Empire was flourished at the beginning finally, the
nation was taken over (compare and contrast with the concept Creation and Fall categories from
CFRR). It is also another way to prove the sovereignty of God over the rise and fall of nations.
