CHRISTIAN TIMELINE BIBLE STUDY
BIBLE TIMELINE CHARTWelcome and prepare for quite a learning experience. If you choose to use our Christian Timeline / Bible timeline Bible study with an absolutely awesome Bible timeline chart, it will make the Biblical teachings come alive. It is an excellent teaching aide, in particular while sojourning through our adventurous Prepare For End Times program.
GOD'S DAY OF REST AND LORD'S DAY
Let us begin, shall we? We know that God created the earth and everything within it in six days and rested on the seventh day. This seventh day became a sacred day known as the
Sabbath.
The Bible says in Genesis, Chapter 1 that God worked 6 days and rested on the 7th day.
|
Genesis 2:2
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. |
God also made this law apply to His people. They were to work six days and rest on the seventh. This day is called Sabbath to the Jewish people. However, for the Christian timeline the seventh day (God's day of rest) is Sunday ... Sabbath versus the Lord's Day
|
Exodus 20:9-10
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy
stranger that is within thy gates
... |
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shall GATHER in the fruits thereof.
|
Exodus 23:10
And
six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof
... |
If the Jewish people had a servant, they were to work six years and be set free the seventh year. The Jewish people were also to work the land and gather fruits from that parcel of land for six years but not in the seventh, so the land could rest as to produce more after the year of rest. Are you sensing a pattern developing? Every aspect of life is a Six days on and the seventh day is for rest. It is part of the Bible Timeline Chart that God created. It also affects the Christian timeline as you will soon see.
Now, it gets a little deeper as we head on so kick back and focus. Even Jesus, when He was put on the Cross, hung there an entire six hours, and died at the "beginning" of the 7th hour.
|
Mark 15:25, 34-37
And it was the
third hour,
and they crucified Him ....... And at the
ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama
sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by,
when they heard it, said, Behold, He calleth Elias. And one
ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave Him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see
whether Elias will come to take Him down. And Jesus cried
with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. |
Now, many people get very confused by what Jesus said on the Cross when he said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ... Did He really believe that God had forsaken Him? Not a chance !!! He was not forsaken, but rather Jesus was simply using a quote from a prophecy from their own Scripture to prove that HE was the awaited Messiah, who they were crucifying. Feel free to check out this study if you would like to confirm ... Forsaken
Now, back to our study ... So, they crucified Jesus at the third hour of the Jewish day (9 AM) and He died at the ninth Hour of the Jewish day (3:00 PM) which is six hours and just when the seventh hour began ... It was over. Jesus was truly experiencing His Spiritual rest.
CHRISTIAN TIMELINE BIBLE STUDY TRUTH
BIBLE TIMELINE CHART QUEST
Well, we can clearly see a pattern created by God now which affects all of us. In particular Christians as we proceed into the future to see what God has on the Christian Timeline plan..
We have learned from this pattern, that there are six time periods of work or endurance and then one time period time of rest and/or peace. Whether it be hours, days, years decades, centuries and as you will discover from the Bible Timeline chart ... The Bible reveals that God created a timeline cycle of six thousand years and then a one thousand year period of rest which is known as the
Millennium
The Bible says that after the End Times, there is a one thousand year period of time, in which Satan is imprisoned and there is a time of peace and REST for mankind. Yes ... Yet another six time periods and a seventh called the Millennium which is definitely deemed as a time of rest and peace for one thousand years. This is part of God's Bible timeline chart which definitely affects the Christian Timeline and in truth, was created for God's people (Christians) to rest.
|
Revelation 20:3-4
And cast him (satan) into the bottomless pit, and shut him
up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more,
till
the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus,
and for the word of God, and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and
they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. |
THE FORMULA
1000 YEARS = ONE DAY TO GOD
The Bible reveals that Heaven and Earth are reserved for fire and judgment, but
that
one day to God is 1000 years to mankind.
|
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not
ignorant of this one thing,
that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. |
It also says
that a thousand years in God's sight are as but a day, as
a "watch" in the night.
|
Psalms 90:4
For a
thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday
when it is past, and as a watch in the night. |
CHRISTIAN TIMELINE BIBLE STUDY FACTS
BIBLE TIMELINE CHART DETAILSNow, let us do a little simple math ... Since it is written that God says that mankind shall work (serve) six days and rest on the seventh and 1000 years to man is, but one day to God and there is a one thousand year time period known as the Millennium ...This brings forth one interesting question ... Does that mean that there are six thousand years and then the End Times, which coincidentally (Yeah right) lasts for Seven years and then then the SON-derful one thousand year Millennium begins? Note: You will learn the details of the End Times if you choose to continue on our End Times path, which you can access at the end of this study.
WOW ... Now, that certainly brings up an even more interesting question How many years have passed from Adam until today?
We have been given specific dates throughout the Bible from Adam to Jesus, so we can see how much time has passed from Adam and to Jesus. We will then see if we can figure out how many years have elapsed from Jesus to present day. The following is a Bible timeline chart and Christian timeline calendar as well based strictly on the Bible. It took years to perform this extensive study, so although the legwork has been done for you, the Scripture locations of each and every detail have been provided for you, so that you can easily confirm the findings on the Bible Timeline chart.
Let us proceed ... The Bible tells us at what age a son was born to the
individual before him and gives other dates and years of
specific events, throughout the Bible. We will start to add up all
these years and use Adam as our starting point, being the
first man in the Bible, and use the term AA (After Adam) to
show how many total years had passed from the
previous date to the next.
The Bible will indicate how
many years had passed, so you only need a calculator (And maybe a lil snack and a beverage) to
add up the amount of years that have passed from Adam to
Jesus.

BIBLE TIMELINE CHART PROOF
*
Genesis
5:32
... And Noah
was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
This
means Noah
began having his three sons at age 500. They were not triplets.
Ham was youngest so they were not all born at age
500.
Genesis 9:24
... And
Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done
unto him.
This is
further proven because Arphaxad was born when Shem was age 100 ...
(Which was 2 years after the Flood)
Genesis
11:10
... These are the
generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad
two years after the flood:
**
Genesis
11:26
... And Terah lived seventy
years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Terah lived 70 years
and begat his three sons.
Like Noah tho, they were not all born at same time,
this is just when he began having children.
They were not triplets.
So, we must search the scriptures a lil
as to discern Terah's age, when he had Abram (Not when he started having
his children)
We know that
Terah died when he was 205 ...
Genesis 11:32 ...
And the days of Terah were two hundred
and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
The very next verse
in the Bible reveals that once Abram's Dad died ... God called Abram to
leave Haran.
Genesis 12:1
... Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and
from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will
shew thee:
This is confirmed
again ...
Acts 7:4 ...
Then came he (Abram)
out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran (Haran): and
from thence, when his father (Terah) was dead, He (God) removed
him (Abram) into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
Abram was 75 years old when he left
Haran just after Terah died.
Genesis 12:4 ...
So Abram departed, as the LORD
had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and
five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Doing the math ...
Terah was 205 when he
died.
Abram was 75 when he left Haran after Dad died.
205 - 75 = 130 ...
Terah
was 130 years old when Abram was born
Sooooooo, the timeline would be ... 2121 BC - 130 = 1991
BC =
Abram's birth.
***
Genesis
12:4
... So Abram departed, as the
LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was
seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Exodus 12:40-41 ... Now the sojourning
of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred
and thirty years.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty
years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts
of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Acts 7:6
... And God spake on this wise,
That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they
should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four
hundred years.
Galatians 3:16-17
...
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith
not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,
which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was
confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four
hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should
make the promise of none effect.
The time between
the promise made to Abraham when he left Haran headed for the
Promised land and the Law (Old Covenant) given to Moses in the
wilderness after the Exodus was 430 years.
****
TIME OF JUDGES
Acts 13:16-22 ... Then Paul
stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and
ye that fear God, give audience. The God of this people of
Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt
as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought
he them out of it. And about the time of
forty years
suffered he their manners in the wilderness. And when He had
destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their
land to them by lot. And
AFTER that He gave unto them judges about the space of four
hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul
the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of
forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them
David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony,
and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine
own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Paul shares that after the exodus that there were
judges for ABOUT 450 years.

Elijah was a
prophet IN AND AROUND 875 BC
CHRISTIAN TIMELINE BIBLE STUDY DISCUSSION
BIBLE TIMELINE CHART DATES
So, we see that there has been 4000 years from Adam until Jesus was BORN
and 4033 years from Adam to Jesus' RESURRECTION
Now, comes the tricky part ... We must determine
how many years have passed
from Jesus' resurrection until present day as to continue the Bible
Calendar.
This period of time is known as the "Time of the Gentiles"
|
Luke 21:24
And they shall
fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be
trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of
the Gentiles be fulfilled. |
|
Romans
11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of
this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to
Israel,
until the fullness of the Gentiles
be come in. |
TIME OF THE
GENTILES SIGN BIBLE TIMELINE CHART
There is a time
period mentioned
in the Bible
known as the
"Time of the
Gentiles" ...
|
Luke
21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until thetimes of the Gentiles be fulfilled. |
|
Romans
11:25
For
I
would
not,
brethren,
that
ye
should
be
ignorant
of
this
mystery,
lest
ye
should
be
wise
in
your
own
conceits;
that
blindness
in
part
is
happened
to
Israel,
until
the
fullness
of
the
Gentiles
be
come
in. |
It is the period
of time which
begins after
Jesus'
Resurrection but
before the
promised 1000
years of peace
on Earth known
as the
Millennium. Just
before the
Millennium,
there will be a
7 year time
period known as
the End Times.
So, from the
Time of Jesus'
Resurrection to
these End Times
is the period of
time known as
the Time of the
Gentiles
which is a time
where Gentiles
(Individuals
from any nation
other than
Israel) have
been given the
opportunity to
accept Jesus as
their Savior.
How do we know
that the TIME OF
THE GENTILES
didn’t begin
until the death
of Jesus?
|
Matthew
10:5-7
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. |
As you can see, the LORD has allotted a specified period of time for the Gentiles to accept Jesus as their Savior which began at His Resurrection and the start of the NEW COVENANT and continues until the End Times.
|
Galatians 4:4-5
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. |
This fulness of
time refers to
the Time of the
Jewish people
who were under
law given by
Moses.
|
John
1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ. |
Of course, if you read
ROMANS, Chapter
11
... You will find that one of God&'s chosen people of Israel CAN be saved during the TIME OF THE GENTILES as well.
The New Covenant (which would include the gentiles) could not begin until the Testator of it Died:
|
Hebrews 9:15-17
And for this cause He (Jesus) is the mediator of the New
testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament, they
which are called might receive the promise of eternal
inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is
of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength
at all while the testator liveth.
|
CHRISTIAN TIMELINE BIBLE STUDY RESEARCH
BIBLE TIMELINE CHART AND YOUSo, it appears that the
New Testament (New Covenant) and the Time of the Gentiles began after
the Death and Resurrection of our precious Lord and Savior ... Jesus.
If we look up at our Bible Timeline chart, we
see that Abraham who was called by God to become the Father of God's
chosen people, was born around 2000 AA. If God's chosen people began
with Abraham and the promise continued from about 2000 AA until 4000 AA
which is 2000 years then that would suggest that 2000 years would be
given as the Time of the Gentiles as well and the start of that 2000 years is when the the Christian timeline begins.
America has a calendar based on 365 days. They
call it A.D. (in the year of our Lord) which contrary to popular belief
... A.D. does not stand for "After Death" but instead stands for "anno
Domini" which means "Year Dominion" ... Now, we have another issue that arose; The Pope said that he believes that the date most believe Jesus was born in is wrong. Here is the article ... POPE SAYS NOPE
In short, the Pope believes the Calendar is off by several years. Keep that in mind for later. So, for now ... We will just say that according to the American calendar, it began when Jesus was born and was crucified and resurrected around 33 AD
Since it has been
4033 years from Adam to Jesus' Resurrection, we need only determine how
much time has passed from 33 AD to present day as to find out how many
years it has been from Adam to present day.
Let us take the
year 2021
From 33 AD to the
year 2021 AD is 1988 years.
So let's add the
4033 years to the 1988 years and we get ...
6021 years
WOW ... Talk about
close !!!
Hmmmmmm, that is still
21 years too many though.
PROBLEMS
The Jewish Calendar
which is what God based His prophecies on, is different than other
Calendars. It has been changed many times as well as you can see at this
online encyclopedia.
CALENDAR OF CHRISTIAN TIMELINE BIBLE STUDY
BIBLE TIMELINE CHART PATH
There is another minor problem ... The calendar itself has been changed
MANY times, over the last two thousand years, by different entities and
nations that came into power, which makes it difficult to determine
exactly how many days have truly passed as to find out the exact day, which was
probably God's plan since He said nobody knows the day or hour the End Times come upon us..
If you would like to see these changes in the calendars of the past as to see what I am talking about, you can always check out Wikipedia concerning Gregorian calendar. There have been so many changes that it would be impossible to track down the exact date.
It is VERY strange though that it is approximately 6000 years from Adam to present day. Could it be that the changes in the calendars over the centuries are one reason that we came up with 6021 years? I mean even the Pope disagrees with the date of the birth of Jesus. Perhaps we do not know the exact date because of what we were told clearly by Jesus:
|
Matthew 24:36
But of that day and hour
knoweth no man,
no, not the Angels of Heaven, but my Father
only.
