What are examples of history repeating itself?
Better examples would be slavery, time line goes as follows Israelites, Persians, gladiators roman, Scotland, African Americans, now the entire American society that is in service construction or agriculture and food industry, just instead of whips they use money; just like we used to mine gold for them and go to war for them. Modern day society has developed a more appropriate, easier to swallow system
Our Holy crusades into the middle east, under reign of the perversion of whats holy, our constant bombardments into the middle east for riches and religious items of great significance- to the recent war in Iraq and the foretold invasion of the land.
Another major example would be Genocide of Spiritual people by Society; time line goes as follows, Roman Church back when Jesus walked and Paul killed Christians, early settlers killing Indians, Jews in Holocaust, America in the next upcoming events, everyone look up REX84 and make people aware of it, and relate it to the Holocaust, see our cocky arrogance... All it takes for evil to prevail is good men to do nothing, who know what genocides were prevented by men of god like moses, Luke Skywalker, Denzeil Washington in Eli, Neo in The Matrix, Superman, and Jesus for this day in age and who knows how many more.
When you get down to it everything moves in circles down to protons, neutrons, electrons, planets, planetary movement, behavioral patterns, wheels on the bus, recycling, even throwing away trash, we run around in circles, people choose to live in a groundhogs day and don't even notice, a clock, days of the week, months in a year, I believe even time itself travels in a circle as too the theory of the big bang theory where everything comes together in the end and then recreates. Only one thing makes it even a reality and that's God.. and if God is beginning and the end, light, giver of life, alpha and omega, savior to all, then he would be characterized as direct strait line because a circle has no beginning or end, him and through him can we break any cycle or insanity, there may have been much more genocides if godly men like Moses or Jesus did not stand up and do something despite all the ridicule and hatred they are given for truly being Christlike; they will spit and stone you to the end... That behavioral pattern is also history repeating itself over and over again.
