Much is written about how the story of human history ends. But why does history unfold as it does?
In the beginning, the greatest of all heavenly creatures was upset that he was not appointed to the highest position in the universe. He attempted a Palace Coup that failed and resulted in his trial and conviction. He appealed his sentence saying it was not his fault. To demonstrate that this was a personal, free-will decision and he is responsible for his own actions; it was agreed that the circumstances would be recreated and the free-will decisions of other creatures would be observed and analyzed.
For believers, the conclusion was never in doubt. Any creature who goes against God will ultimately fail. This story is about how the history (conflict) of humanity is interwoven with the conflict in the heavens.
