The Holy Bible History is a record of past events. A summary of what happened in the past, both good and bad. History is meant to serve as a lesson to present and future generations. A warning of what could happen if we fail to follow God's path for the world. It shows the living of how those who lived before faired depending on their choices and actions. Rightly or wrongly, it provides a place to learn from the mistakes of others and the benefit of avoiding similar mistakes
