The Cultural Revolution was an upheaval which began in August of 1966 by Chinese Chairman [[Mao Zedong]]. He began this revolution in his last ten years of power because he feared that [[China]] would become like the [[Soviet Union]] and that he might have a bad, if any, place in history. Like [[Job]], he feared that "my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good." (Job 7:7)

His objective was to cause a cultural revolution that would replace leaders with people who would think like him and be supportive of him as Chairmen, make the [[Chinese Communist Party]] function the way he wanted, give the Chinese youth a revolutionary experience, and make changes so that education, health care, and cultural systems would be for the entirety of China and not just for the elite. Like [[Solomon]], Mao asked for "an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" (I Kings 3:9)

In August 1966 all schools were closed. During this time Mao told the Red Guards to question things that traditionally had great value and importance, and question the activities of government officials by slighting them in a way that was visible to all. This resulted in the harm and even death of many people. In the end, Mao Zedong achieved none of what he wanted. Like Solomon, the Lord said, "Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant." (I Kings 11:11)
