History for God or Men? (Histoire de Dieu ou populaire?)
The answer is that a man lives his life not for himself but for the God.
It is not his own happiness but happiness of the God that he must make efforts to achieve.
It is not a man himself that gave life to himself but the God that gave life to a man to which He would put an end at His discretion.
Indeed, studying history does not make a man happy. (So, rich men do not love history.)
SECTION I: 5 Bi-Millennium History
We may start our history from the age of 8000 years ago.
Or, there were 4000 years before Abraham came to exist after the start of use of copper or metal.
And, there were 4000 years before we have come to exist after the start of Abraham's religion.
Finally, what of today will be the start of the next 4000 years in the human history?
I hope it will be the coming of the Kingdom of God.
SECTION II: History of Europe for the Last 10,000 Years
Palestine was more advanced than Europe and even Egypt in terms of agriculture around 10,000 years ago.

When the Sumerian Civilization was growing in Mesopotamia, hundreds years before Abraham, ancestors of Iranians, Greeks, and Italians came to emerge in East Europe. Palestine was then occupied by Old Egyptian Kingdom.
Yet, it is in Fertile Crescent that first copper age started in the human history 8000 years ago.
SECTION III: God's Choice
From 6000 BC till 4000 BC, there were many regions in the West Half of the Earth with a possibility to be chosen by the God. But, the God took Mesopotamia finally when these 2000 years passed.
From 4000 BC till 2000 BC, there were many persons in Mesopotamia with a possibility to be chosen by the God. But, the God took Abraham finally when these 2000 years passed.
From 2000 BC till AD 1, there were many occasions in Judea on which the God might have sent His Son. But, the God finally took the timing 30 years after the death of Cleopatra, a kind of ancient Greeks, in Egypt and selected the place of Bethlehem around Jerusalem.
Eventually, from AD 1 to 2001, there were so many nations in the world that the God might have chosen as the leading symbol for the next 2000 years. The 9/11 Terror of 2001 might suggest that it is the U.S. But, the 3/11 Disaster seems to suggest that it is Japan.
SECTION IV: 8000 Years Ago in Japan
It is said at the time, namely 8000 years ago, Japan was divided into the south half and the north half, around Mt. Fuji on Honshu Island.
It is estimated that 17,300 people lived in the northern half and 2,800 in the southern half. The former were descendants of migrants having come from as far as Lake Baikal in Siberia, and the latter were descendants of migrants from North China. They used unique types of earthenware, respectively.

Now, in Fukushima Daiichi, 2000 workers are engaged everyday in recovery work of the crippled nuclear plant.
But, it is suspected that some of them have already suffered strong internal exposure to radiation.
The Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry of Japan set a yearly dose limit at 50 milli sieverts for workers in Fukushima Daiichi. But, now the Ministry has reportedly abolished this limit. However, it has set the dose limit at total 100 milli sieverts in five years.
In the case of Chernobyl, residents living 15 to 20 km far from the blasted nuclear reactor received 52 milli sieverts of radiation.
TEPCO has started to provide live pictures of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (illuminated in the night).

Luk 5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
Luk 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
