Meaning & History

In Greek it means "life". From the beginning, it was adopted by Hellenized Jew as translator of EVE. It was brought about by the two who are under Hadrian's emperor and the two early Christian saints under Diocletian. This name is very common in the Byzantine Empire, born by the dominant queen of the 11th century. As the English name, Zoe has been in use since the 19th century. It is more common among East Christians (various spellings)

Because the meaning of history is hidden, it is not regarded as a progressive movement of human cooperation in the establishment of the kingdom of God, on the contrary Christ gives the only clue to the ultimate meaning of history, Is a terminal event completely dependent on God. Behavior; selfishness and alienation arising from sin can not be overcome through education, as a consequence of abuse of human freedom rather than suppression of human ignorance or natural urges against God's sin, through God's forgiveness Only to overcome repentance and new life.

God is still devoted to humanity. Therefore, history moves somewhere. The historical view of the Bible sometimes is called "linear history". This means that there is a beginning in history and then a series of meaningful events eventually reaching the state of solution will follow (the Bible calls it the Kingdom of God). The history of mankind is not a series of meaningless chaotic events, but it is God's plan to restore justice and the control of love for the earth. The tide and flow of human civilization is an objective purpose

Philosophers have questioned the overall meaning and structure of human history. Several philosophers tried to discover large organizational themes, meanings or directions in the history of mankind. This is a form of effort to prove how history has accomplished God's order or to reveal a large model (periodic, objective, progressive) or to play an important subject You can take it. Discussion is discussed below). The goal of each case is to prove that the apparent randomness and arbitrariness of historical events may be related to a more fundamental fundamental purpose or order.
