What that sentence is referring to is the fact that god uses history to show man the folly of his ways. through garden of eden, to the flood, to tower of babel, all the way to the persecution of jesus. there are lessons to be learned, and as hard headed as man is, we CAN learn from our mistakes, it is not impossible.
