They literally destroyed the original gate, and used the remnants to rebuild it in their capital, like legos. They actually made the new bricks out of the original bricks using authentic 2500 year old processes.

The troops trapped at the beaches of Dunkirk were allowed to escape due to Hitler ordering a halt on the advance against the wishes of his generals.
The Wehrmacht was fully capable of destroying the troops trapped at Dunkirk; however, an anticipation of armistice/ceasefire/treaty, remorse and/or strategic blunder can all be associated with Hitlers decision to halt the advance on Dunkirk.
One think is certain, they were allowed to escape and the Wehrmacht could have destroyed or captured them.
The first of many mistakes Hitler would make during that war against the wishes of his generals.

Wrong
Hitler ordered a halt of a few days some weeks before the evacuation because supplies lines were overextended
As soon as they were good enough, offensive resumed in full force, and only a gallant rearguard action by French troops allowed Brits to escape before the Germans could reach them

>The troops trapped at the beaches of Dunkirk were allowed to escape due to Hitler ordering a halt on the advance against the wishes of his generals.
Wrong. Kleist and Rundstedt issued the halt order, and Hitler backed it up. Their reasoning was very much military in nature, and viewing that the proper placement of limited available reinforcements and supplies was pursuing the retreating French forces and not squeezing a pocket.
>The Wehrmacht was fully capable of destroying the troops trapped at Dunkirk;
Then why didn't they between May 27th and June 4th?

Are Christians encouraged to seek personal revelation from God?

It depends on if your belief system focuses on a personal relationship with God. I think for most non-fundamental Christians I would say yes, that is the goal.

Yes that is why the Holy Spirit is called the Counselor. However it is essential to remember that all spirits who attempt to counsel us must be tested against God's Word.

>According to this "central mystery" of most Christian faiths, there is only one God in three persons: while distinct from one another in their relations of origin (as the Fourth Lateran Council declared, "it is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds");[9] and in their relations with one another, they are stated to be one in all else, co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial, and each is God, whole and entire".[10] Accordingly, the whole work of creation and grace is seen as a single operation common to all three divine persons, in which each shows forth what is proper to him in the Trinity, so that all things are "from the Father", "through the Son" and "in the Holy Spirit".
Lol, are Christians literally retarded?

Does /his/ find it fascinating how radically different the world be if Gavrilo Princip hadn't shot his gun to assassinate Archduke Ferdinand?
I don't think about it every day, but the reason our world grew up into the current state it is was...
>the death of monarchies making decisions for the countries they rule over as they have lost the war to industrialized democratic nations
>The unfair Treaty of Versailles firing up hate and bitterness in Germany and giving birth to Hitler's fascist ideologies, thus starting the Second World War.
>American involvement in both wars forever cemented it as one of the strongest world superpowers, causing its ideologies to clash with their Communist rivals who were the other world superpower, thus prompting countless offshore wars that caused massive domino effects of instability and corruption in Asia and the Middle East as well as Latin America
... If Gavrilo had kept his gun at home and decided not to assassinate the Archduke, how much the world would be different? We would have a much different set of problems, sure, but I'm sure they won't be as big as the ones we're currently having.

WWI is pretty much unavoidable, but if Britain had stayed out of the war, France had capitulated quickly (as they had done a few decades hence) matters would be a lot better for us all now. A strong British Empire, an America that does not grow obscenely rich, a strong Germany and a renewed France, continuation of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the Ottoman Empire (keeping the Arabs down and the Middle east stable).
>>
>>3145608
The USA was already on the fast track to becoming obscenely rich before the war though, in terms of industry it had surpassed both the UK and Germany.

Specifically, the millennia or two before the invention of writing. It must have been an era of considerable political complexity that we know almost nothing about.
Was the Uruk Expansion the world's first empire?
-Were there ever quipu-like (non-linguistic but complex and flexible enough for imperial administration) record systems used in the Old World?
-What was the world's first state?
Was there an Indo-European Genghis Khan?
-How much political complexity existed on the steppe?
What was Southern China like before Han cultural/demographic expansion?

The only thing Caesar did wrong was let his enemies live. He knew he would look like a tyrant if he killed off his enemies in the Senate outright.
He didn't do anything wrong. The citizens of Rome were out of work. Rome's recent successes around the Mediterranean brought in a ton of slaves who took all the work. The only ones rich enough to own slaves were Senators, and thus were getting all the work orders and commissions.
They wouldn't allow another large-scale war, so Caesar funded it himself. He marched into Gaul, got rich as fuck doing it, and came back a hero, promising to use his wealth to make a massive series of public works that would employ veterans and citizens.
There was nothing he did that wasn't for the people. Whether he was a tyrant or not isn't important-- the fact that he was respected by his friends and enemies shows that he was in the right.

This, Caesar was on the side of the people and not the few. He was on the right side of history, like Lenin or Jeremy Corbyn or Bernie Sanders.
It's typical of right wing capitalists who want to preserve the status quo to assassinate popular left wing leaders.
>>
>>3144823
He did enslave lots of people and nowadays that tends to be frowned upon.
>>
>>3144823
Caesar instigated a war with the Gauls just to increase his personal holdings and prestige. He crossed the channel and invaded Britain just to do it, risking legions on his adventurism and for very little gain. He's not a hero, but he's not really a villain either. The Senate and in fact the entire structure of the Republic was unsustainable, and everyone had known it since the Gracchi. Rome was going to have more civil wars and it was only a matter of time before someone less noble than Cincinnatus or less autistic than Sulla was going to put themselves in charge and just stay there.
