...the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations...that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Isaiah 66:18-19

All of history is orchestrated for God's eventual glory. Seek your own glory and pleasure, and you'll end with nothing.
