 We were made in the image of God. Amazing! Pity about sin!
My heart's desire is to return to His image as displayed in Jesus.
THE SILENT YEARS: Alexander the Great
The Persian Empire Fell to the conquest of Alexander the Great in 334-323 B.C. Alexander had a significant impact on the life and culture of the day. He was impressed with Greek culture and wanted to make one great nation of all the peoples in the world and Hellenise them. The Word Hellenism comes from a Greek word which to speak or make Greek. This was Alexander's mission. Leading a group of Greek and Macedonian mercenaries, he swept over Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and in 331 B.C. the Persian Empire. As he went throughout the land he would establish Greek city states bearing his name ' Alexandria ' and impose Greek government, language and culture on them.
