History began a week after God said “Let there be light.” Some people, like Abel, obeyed God. Others were like Cain. When too many people and angels decided to disobey God, He washed them out of The Creation Program with The Flood.

Eight survived. They multiplied. Tribes of our ancestors to spread over the earth.
As people invented more things, bigger governments came into being. Immense bureaucracies still tell others: “You must do this. You must not do that.”

About 6,000 years ago, some Tribes invented metallurgy and wheels. Those with copper, bronze, and iron weapons defeated those without. Horses moved their wagons, chariots, and cavalry quickly!
The Two Laws of those early Governments are still in force!
1. “Take as much as you can from distant people.”
2. “Take as much as you can from your neighbors.”
Those tribes filled the lands between China and Ireland.

4,000 years ago, God picked one man from One Tribe. He made a Chaldean man an offer. “Abraham, if you do what I tell you, your descendants will take over the world.” Abraham agreed.
His Family was given a small area in Israel. God allowed jealous brothers to sell smarter Joseph into Egyptian slavery. Soon, God sent famine. He forced all 70 of Abraham’s immediate family to move to Egypt.
They discovered that Abraham’s smartest great-Grandson, Joseph, was running the whole country!
430 years later, two million of them returned to Israel.

In that time, Abraham’s sons from other wives and concubines were also multiplying. Their Tribes replaced many earlier peoples of Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Others Grandsons and Great-Grandsons ruled the Arabian Peninsula.

Like Joseph, some of Abraham’s children were remarkably intelligent. Others were like Joseph’s brothers. They, like Cain, hated those smart enough to obey God.
In time, hundreds of Tribes were being led by Abraham’s descendants.
Angles, Saxons, Lombards, Normans, Goths, Visigoths, Sarmatians, Alans, Huns, Turks, Arabs, and many Tribes of Abraham’s descendants moved in and out of power.

There was “something special” in Abraham’s physical and spiritual DNA! It’s still there. It allows many to recognize Truth in the Messianic Prophecies predicting Jesus.
Those of The Tribes who recognized Jesus as The Messiah gratefully obeyed His Church-Founding Decree:
“And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
The disobedient brothers of Abel and Joseph still hate those who obey God.
A very short History lesson.
