== The First Hundred Years: Christ rises from the Dead. ==
=== The Apostles preach the Gospel everywhere. The Church rises, the Synagogue falls. ===
Summed up in a catchphrase, the History of the First Christian Century would be: "The Church rises, the Synagogue falls". Seen through a theological lens, we could say, "God elects His Church, reprobates the Synagogue". And we see then how the history of the 1st Century confirms the Truth of Christ's Word in the Gospel: "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit." (Mat 21:43). As we scroll back through the pages of history, we see that this is what took place. He who knows the true history almost knows, or comes, to the True Faith. Because History is ultimately His Story, and His Imprint is all over it.
