What does the Bible say about the purpose of world history?

According to the sermon, world history is not just a series of random events; rather, it is a purposeful unfolding of God's plan. It serves as a canvas where God paints the story of His grace in salvation. The history of great empires and the events since Christ's ascension all serve this ultimate purpose. Understanding history in this way allows believers to see God's sovereignty at work, even amidst chaos and suffering, reinforcing the hope that is found in God's promise to redeem His people.
