BIBLE TIMELINE
Time Line Legend
The Bible Timeline has been arranged into four sections...
Bible verses are paraphrased in white text, from the New King James version, with each reference enclosed in [brackets]. The ages of the patriarchs are in blue text. Sources in pink text, and my personal comments are in green text.
Dictionary definitions are from the American Heritage Dictionary, 3rd ed., copyright © 1994, ver 3.6p for Windows, Softkey International, Inc.
The dates used for this chronology are based on the Jewish calendar. The day begins and ends at sunset, ie., sunset Friday night to sunset Saturday night is considered the Sabbath day. Whether an event occurs in the morning, afternoon, the evening, or even a couple of hours before sunset, any part of a day is considered as a whole day when calculating dates. The first day of the year is 1 April (Nisan). Each month = 30 days. In prophecy... a "time, times and a 1/2 a time" = 1,260 days, or 42 months, or 3½ years.
There are two theories as to the size of a cubit used in a measurement ... 18 inches, and 22 inches. The smaller cubit of 18 inches has been used in this study.
Statement of Faith:
I believe... the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God...that there is only one God, eternally existant as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost... in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ... in His virgin birth... in His sinless life... in His miracles... in His vicarious and atoning death for all our sins... in His bodily resurrection... in His ascension to the right hand of the Father... in His personal, future return to this earth in power and glory to rule over the nations... in the rapture of the Church... that the only means of salvation is through repentance of sin, and faith in the precious blood of Christ... that salvation can not be earned with good deeds, it is the free gift of God to all who believe... that there is no mediator between Jesus Christ and men... and that Jesus Christ is the one, and only, mediator between God and men.
