God's Plan and Significant Persons
Who are the most significant persons in the history? Without doubt, Christ Jesus must be, since He has been regarded as God. But one example of the list is as follows:
The 100 Most Significant Figures in History

In this context, Paul and Caesar, as the virtual first emperor of the Romans, cannot be dismissed.
And the history of these 2000 years has been closed with the return of the Jewish people to Palestine and Jerusalem after WWII where Hitler fought Stalin but got defeated by US troops while killing six million European Jewish people. In this context, Hitler, Stalin/Marx, and Columbus cannot be dismissed.
However, from a more religious point of view, Muhammad and Martin Luther cannot be dismissed. So, we may present the following list in a time series:
1. Caesar
2. Jesus
3. Paul
4. Muhammad
5. Columbus
6. Martin Luther
7. Karl Marx
8. Stalin
9. Hitler
10. Judaists
It is truly a mystery why God sent His Son, Christ Jesus, to Palestine under control of Romans symbolized by Caesar about 2000 years ago. And the rest of the history was finally settled when Judaists returned to Palestine and Jerusalem after WWII.
However, the history is still going on with Muslims active in the regions outside the territories of the past Roman Empire and with China and India having almost nothing to do with the Christian world.
We have to find what God's plan is about the history of the mankind in the next 2000 years. And what significant persons will He plant to use?
