and the great events of history

A while back ago ... we had the pleasure of downloading a massive
amount of the spoken Word ....
all sorts of recordings
we recently listened to

while listening we heard ...
"In view of the fact that at the present time...fully developed and comprehensively learned individuals are hard to come by, and the government and people are in dire need of order and direction, it is essential to establish a body of scholars the various groups of whose membership would each be expert in one of the aforementioned branches of knowledge (in preceding passages, these are cited as "knowledge of the sacred Scriptures and the entire field of divine and natural science, of religious jurisprudence and the arts of government and the varied learning of the time and the great events of history..."). This body should with the greatest energy and vigor deliberate as to all present and future requirements, and bring about equilibrium and order."{22}
and it got us thinking about "and the great events of history"
hmmm ...
what on earth would a list / curriculum of the great events of history be like
????
then ... today ... we were listening to someone's description of our True Brother
and his teaching style ... speaker was hesitant to use the term style ...
{for how is one to describe the Divine} ... *smile* ... yet ... the speaker went on to say
something along the lines of progressive revelation as a style of Teaching / writing ...
*smile*
{citing ... how the North American believers were educated ... The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah ... how only 8 NSA where at the time of ... etc ... et all}
yes ...
progressive revelation as a style of Teaching / writing
*smile* ... yes ... we like that thought ...
and we wish to become educated into the great events of history
so ... we pondered ... what would a list of the great events of history be like ...
we imagined the secular world would list
this that and the other thing ... *smile*
and much of what a secularist might say we would agree with
yet ... we wish to have a divine list ...
as typing we have thought of
the birth of any Manifestation of God ...
think of Jesus for a second ...
wow ... talk about one of the greatest events of History ...
the birth of Jesus surely most be among the top of our list
*smile*
so ....
does anyone know of any curriculum on the great events of history ???
does anyone have anything they would add to our list ... ???
the discovery of America ... ???
{would that count}
all things Americana ???
{would that count}
moveable type / printing press
{we hear China should get predominate credit}
aethiesm
{hmmm ... pretty ugly ... should that count ... ???}
The Covenant of Baha'u'llah
an absolute must
*smile*
hmmm ...
your thoughts / prayers / dialogue appreciated
oneness,
