history is noted in the inspired record of the

world, but only as it played some part in

connection with Jehovah’s people. Likewise

the nation and whatever its place in time, its

history is noted by the divine historian only

during the time when it has been an

instrument in God’s hand to spread his truth,

or to protect his people.

Persian kingdom came into existence, and

when it had fulfilled that work, and the Spirit

of God was withdrawn, it passed from the

stage of action.
