A Tale of Two Kingdoms
A Tale of Two Kingdoms traces the conflict between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Man. The Scriptural account that begins in Genesis comes to a climax in the Book of Revelation as one kingdom is destroyed and one has a glorious future. Jesus had much to say about these two kingdoms as He challenged His hearers to turn from the kingdom of this world and align themselves with the Kingdom of God. God's final revelation was given to John to make clear how this conflict will end. In the Book of Revelation the Kingdom of Man (called "Babylon") comes under God's judgment and is destroyed while the Kingdom of God (led by Jesus Christ) rules eternally over all creation. The Book of Revelation becomes very practical as a prospectus for those who would make a wise investment with eternal dividends.

When the great kingdom of Pagan declined politically in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, its territory devolved into three centers of power and a period of transition occurred. Then two new kingdoms arose: the First Ava Dynasty in Upper Myanmar and the First Pegu Dynasty in Lower Myanmar. Both originated around the second half of the fourteenth century, reached their pinnacles in the fifteenth, and declined before the first half of the sixteenth century was over. Their story is the only missing piece in Myanmar’s mainstream historiography, a gap this book is designed to fill. Renowned historian Michael Aung-Thwin reconstructs the chronology of this nearly two-hundred-year period while challenging a number of long-held beliefs. Contrary to conventional histories, he contends that Ava was the continuation of an old kingdom (Pagan) led by its traditional ethno-linguistic group, the Burmese speakers, while Pegu was a new kingdom led by more recent arrivals, the Mon speakers. Although both kingdoms shared many cultural components of the “classical” Pagan tradition, Ava was inland and agrarian, while Pegu was maritime and commercial, so that each was shaped by very different geopolitical and economic environments. In that difference rests the dynamism of their “upstream-downstream” relationship, which, thereafter, became a regular historical pattern in Myanmar history, represented today by inland Naypyidaw and “coastal” Yangon. Original in conception and impressive in scope, this well written book not only fills in the history of early modern Myanmar but places it in a broad interpretive context based on years of familiarity with a wealth of primary sources. Full of arresting anecdotes and colorful personalities, it represents an important contribution to Myanmar studies that will not easily be superseded.
