Why is history the most exciting subject when viewed through Biblical teachings?
Viewed through Biblical teachings, history becomes the most exciting subject because it reveals God's sovereign control over the events of humans in time. Instead of a boring subject, it unfolds as history from Genesis through Revelation, showing that God governs human events according to His sovereign will.
Les explains that many people, including himself when he was a kid in school, assume history is a boring subject. But when history is viewed in the light of Biblical teachings, it becomes the most exciting subject on earth. He repeatedly reviews the timeline, from Genesis all the way through Revelation, because that is what listeners comment on more than anything else. In this review, history unfolds as the outworking of God's sovereign control over the events of humans in time. After that timeline review, Les plans to continue verse-by-verse starting in Ephesians chapter 1.
