You may have already taken The Woman and the Seed tour which covers world powers 1 though 4 (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, & Medo-Persia) and possibly the Integrity tour covering Bible world powers 5 & 6 (Greece & Rome). If so, likely you have wondered about the significance of religion and art from the time of the Roman Empire until our day, when the 7th world power holds sway.
After the last of the apostles fell asleep in death, the scriptures foretold a period of darkness during which ‘wheat and weed-like’ Christians would grow together. (Matt 13:25) A long void would exist when it would be difficult to discern who followed the pattern of truth. (2 Tim 1:13) Indeed, ‘darkness itself would cover the earth.’ (Isa 60:2) Mankind has even deemed a certain period of this time as the “dark ages.” But eventually the ‘righteous ones would shine as brightly as the sun.’ (Matt 13:43)

These questions and many more will be answered as we explore some 2,000 years of human history.
