Ancient and Biblical History

Reformation Hope Academy was established to assist homeschool parents with older students (junior high and high school) in need of instruction in specialized disciplines such as Ancient and Biblical history, a course designed to take the student from Creation, Eden, and the Fall through the antediluvian world and into the history of nations after the Great Flood. 

This is the course for which Dr. Sedlak has received much acclaim – a course that quite literally has changed the lives of hundreds of students over several decades. Parents have repeatedly expressed amazement at how this course impacted their children’s faith in the Lord… From Egypt to Rome, from Assyria to Greece, the God of the Old Testament was famous among the peoples of the ancient world even as God’s Word shows us. His power was known among the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans, and even the Chinese! 

This course shows the evidence of God’s Presence and power in those cultures. The course also clearly details the accuracy of the Old Testament Record, citing the events and persons of the Old Testament as they were known to people of that era. The course is a full treatment of ancient societies – people, nations, and events – beginning with Creation, Adam and Eve in the Garden up to the historical ministry, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Students will learn the extraordinary evidence concerning the Lord’s investment of His Will in the ancient world.

The offering of the Ancient History course from the hands of Dr. Wayne Sedlak is a history course like none other. Because this professor of history, doubly credentialed as both an academic and as a pastor prosecutes the course of history as a master doctor of the Law, the Law of God. He curates the evidence of history by interpreting its author as the Faithful Witness, giving evidentiary witness to Himself in “two of one [instance] a third of another” in case after case from the beginning of time.

From His flinging of the stars into the firmament to the calculating of the date of the birth of Jesus Christ, the testimony of God’s Word and work is demonstrated to be sure. Confidence in the Holy Triune God, the One in Three, the Three in One, thus rises and with it the faith in the one, true Faithful Witness of all time. Thus, this instruction is redemptive: providing a redeemed understanding of God, Man, Law and History.

Remember the words of Scripture in Luke 6:40. Do not find it surprising that your children begin to exhibit the qualities of
their teacher, Dr. Sedlak, a kingly priest, as he inspires in them, his students, their high callings in Christ: that only a Royal Priesthood can arise and build a holy nation under God.

This course is one of the many courses I took from Rev. Sedlak many years ago. The truths that I learned were life-changing for me … and many of my fellow students in my class. These are enduring truths that take students through life, building not just the knowledge of the Lord’s handiwork in history, but designed to call them to a personal walk with Jesus Christ! The peace and stability of knowing HOW my Lord works “all things together for good” was one fruit of this course. I have in the past, and certainly do so now, heartily endorse this course for both students and adults want to strengthen their walk with the Lord while gaining an in-depth, skillful – call it “professional” – understanding of the ancient world and how God’s truths have been perfectly and accurately represented within that history as recorded in the Scriptures.

Ancient and Biblical history is examined through the lens of a Biblical worldview. It demonstrates the power, precision and accuracy of God’s Holy Word. The truths that are revealed in this course are not monotonous but rather uplifting, designed to bring to us more than simply coursework… History as I learned it here, is life-changing in that, as a student, I could see God’s glory, his purposes and handiwork in the lives of people and in the destiny of nations. This is no ordinary course. It awakens the student to the fact that God “weighs us all in the balance” demonstrating for all to see that, throughout history, those who honor the Lord, He honors. And those that do not … become a sobering lesson for any student to weigh carefully in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

As a student of history my whole life I was thrilled to be allowed to sit in on one of Dr. Sedlak’s classes on ancient Biblical history. And I have not been disappointed. Dr. Sedlak uses his vast knowledge and past experiences to present a unique picture of the Bible using the sciences of ancient language’s, archaeology, and other sciences. It is a fascinating course that will resonate with believers and unbelievers alike. Believers will find their faith strengthened and unbelievers will hear facts that will lead them closer to knowing who Jesus Christ is.  I highly recommend Dr. Sedlak’s courses. Whether you are learning about the Bible for the first time, or those who have been on the journey of faith in Christ many years. You too will not be disappointed.

Our four daughters and I are taking Dr. Sedlak’s ancient history course. We’ve only completed six classes and we’re all seeing not only Genesis in a whole new light but the entire Bible. It is like reading the Bible and picture it black-and-white, now after the six classes Dr. Sedlak, is revealed a world that is three-dimensional in color. We look at verses and reading scriptures with a different understanding and analyzing wording variations, not simply taking for granted.

The girls (ages 10 – 16) and I really enjoy the class and look forward to each upcoming class.

We highly recommend this course everyone who wants to see the true history that God is revealed in the Bible and through history truth that Satan and the world want erased.

I can express my gratitude enough!
