Time is a framework of history. An accurate history requires an accurate framework of dating events. The meaning of the past cannot be understood without the meaning of time the difficulty is understanding the nature of time has been well stated by Augustine: (I know what it is if no one asked me, but if I want to explain it to an inquirer, I do not know how.)It is often as difficult to date past historical events as it is to give the precise meaning of time. The further that one becomes removed from a given past event the more difficult the time element becomes. Life itself demonstrates this truth. It is easier to relate the time element of personal past events which occur in the immediate past (last year) then to give the time element of the past personal event in the distant past (10 to 40 etc., years ago). Yet time is so important. When it is compared to life; one has little of it and even knows less about it.In the Bible, time is regarded as extremely important. That is why God has put so many time notions into His Sacred Book. The Bible contains chronological data (the stream of time) from its opening pages in Genesis and continues its time frame as its historical events unfold to the reader.The Bible deals with chronology. As a history book, it cannot be separated from its chronological material; biblical history and biblical chronology go hand-in-hand. The concept of history and the Bible contains a three full-time element past, present, and future. That is because, as Exodus 3:14 records, God is the great I Am That I Am-present; I Was What I Was-past; and I Will Become What I Will Become-future. The past aspect of time relates to complete history'; the present aspect of time refers to the continuous history'; in the future aspect deals with the realm of prophecy or incomplete history'. The Hebrew God is both the creator and the controller of history and chronology. He is the Lord of history and reveals Himself in time--past, present and future.

Each religion of the world is a mere philosophy unless it can withstand historical criticism. Every believer has been taught a faith which was either founded by God or by man. The Christian faith is the only faith which can subject its Holy Book to free inquiry. The Bible is a book which claims that God predicted events before they happened, and also gave dates and times for their occurrence. The book of Daniel contains many such predictive statements, some of which have been fulfilled in our lifetime. It is the most dynamic living proof of the Christian's claim to a true religion and a True God.

History, harmony & Daniel: A new computerized evaluation

At a meeting of the British Association of scientist held in 1865, a manifesto was drawn up and signed by 617 men of science, many of whom were of the highest eminence. In this document they declared their belief not only in the truth and authenticity of Holy Scriptures, but also in the harmony of Scripture with natural science. A copy of this manifesto was deposited in the Bodleian Library of Oxford.Scholars today seem reluctant to examine Scriptures with scientific tools, even though we have at our disposal a great deal of knowledge which was not available to the respected scholars above. I wonder if the credibility of Scripture has slipped to such a degree, that even those who confess inerrancy are afraid to critically examine the Bible for error. It is as though a careful study of Scripture will somehow be a threat to God himself.There is at least one exact science in the Bible; that is the way the Bible writers stated events. All biblical dates are dependent upon the position of the sun and the moon. But in addition, some dates include the day of the week. As a result of our knowledge about astronomy, and our access to computers, we can determine the accuracy of the biblical datesThe research covered within this book has convinced this writer that the chronology of the Bible is dependable. If the arguments presented here stand up to the scrutiny of other scholars, biblical chronology will have far-reaching implications. Mankind would be forced to reconsider its view on such subjects as the origin of the universe and of mankind. It follows: if Scripture is true, then the God of Scripture is also true, and all other gods are false.

It has been recorded in official government records that there were no survivors of the five companies of the Seventh Cavalry who were with General George Armstrong Custer at the battle at the Little Big Horn. Recently, uncovered records and forensic handwriting evidence, the latter verified by forensic handwriting experts, reveal that one trooper, a sergeant in "C" Company of the Seventh Cavalry, actually escaped the onslaught of Sioux and Cheyenne. The author has tracked the man and his activity during the battle and has brought them together in Custer Survivor.Custer Survivor, through documented accounts recreates the scene from the Sioux and Cheyenne encampment the night before the battle through the action the following day, the remarkable "escape" of the wounded survivor, the aftermath of the battle and his fascinating life thereafter. Professor Louise Barnett, a fellow of the Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis, Rutgers University, writes the Introduction.

Welcome to Hell," the drill instructor announced to the small crowd of young men staring at him apprehensively, his words charging the atmosphere with a foreboding intensity. Three and one half months of hellish and seemingly outrageous demands would be made of those who would endure the journey through the fires of boot camp. These young men would find a pride in themselves that would last forever. Those survivors of boot camp training often look back, with a smile and even a laugh, at what they endured from the DI. Patrick Turley, driven to enlist by the events of 9/11, captures these anxious times perfectly in vivid detail establishing an emotional bond with the reader throughout his journey from man to Marine, and John Patrick Shanley said it only as a former Marine and Pulitzer Prize winner could: "It's great to have gone to Marine Corps boot camp. It's terrible to be in Marine Corps boot camp. It's fun to read about Marine Corps boot camp.

Before Washington officials said that women could go into combat, they were out there in the battle, but just not getting credit for it. Armed with M16 s and more robust firepower, women support troops backed up infantry units and got into the thick of it when called up to lend support. 
Transportation troops, in Iraq and Afghanistan, driving the IED laden roads with critically needed ammunition and supplies were always in the combat zone, explosive devices frequently causing the loss of limb and life attested to that. Miyoko Hikiji, a young woman from Iowa knows well of it well enough to write a book about it. All I Could Be My Story as a Woman Warrior in Iraq tells it just the way it was when, as a young woman in the Iowa National Guard, she was deployed to Iraq after the invasion ten years ago and discovered that the peaceful world she knew amid the Midwestern farm land had been replaced by the wind driven sand dunes of Iraq. Peace she discovered had become a pleasant and distant memory. Armed with an M16 and the equipment of the modern warrior, Miyoko was told to take her weapon into the cab of a truck, sit behind the wheel, and join a series of convoys. Each day she drove deeper into harm s way. And each night was a nightmare in the making. Miyoko writes of one such night, "The infantry's mortar platoon, just down the street, zeroed in and returned fire. The opposite bank exploded. Then, two patrol boats fixed with automatic weapons screamed by opening fire along the bank. The radio on the patio lit up with chatter but we couldn't make out details. Moments later it was silent again. Voices on the radio became clear--all clear. Reluctantly we climbed out of the hole and returned to our tents. No one could sleep but no one wanted to talk. We lay silently in our bunks until the sun beckoned us to start another day." 
And, another day always brought stress, fear and all that war brings. "It is my war story," writes Miyoko, "it is part military history, part personal revelation, part therapy, the stuff of so many war stories that have become a vital part of the great American tradition." 
"All I Could Be" is a fascinating beginning to a new chapter in that great tradition: the recognition of the woman warrior in America.

This volume, just like the first volume, Warrior Culture, The Indian Wars and Depredations, Vol. I, is a "polemical" historical narrative. The word polemical means, "A controversial argument refuting or attacking an opinion or a doctrine."1 The author refutes the politically correct (P.C.) contemporary interpretation which states that the Plains Indians were innocent and helpless victims of white tyranny and oppression. The author argues that the Plains Indians believed in and followed a primitive culture which stressed murder, mutilation, brutality and thievery. In history, there are always alternative interpretations; interpretation is the "essence" of history. The author's interpretation is clearly stated in Volume 2 as it is in. Volume 1..
