This article was deleted from article space as per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Timeline_of_the_Bible. I chose to move it here so i could have a copy for my own personal use and so the edit history wouldnt be lost. the edit history may someday be important if i have to prove that i am the author and that i did not plagiarize it. Perhaps someday if i continue working on it it may be reconsidered for inclusion in Wikipedia.

The present article is an outline guide to the persons and events in the Bible arranged according to chronological indications in the text of the Bible.

The Bible contains a collection of religious texts that are central to Judaism and Christianity. Modern Judaism generally recognizes a single set of canonical books known as the Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible, as it is written almost entirely in the Hebrew language, with some small portions in Aramaic. It is traditionally divided into three parts: the Torah ("teaching" or "law"), the Nevi'im ("prophets"), and the Ketuvim ("writings"). Christianity recognises as canonical the books of the Tanakh, in a different order, as the Old Testament. In Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, additional books, called the Deuterocanonical, are included, which Protestantism regards as apocryphal. All Christians also recognise the New Testament, a collection of early Christian writings that consists of the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles, and the Apocalypse. There exist New Testament apocrypha which have not been generally recognised. See Books of the Bible.

time	event
120 years?	YHWH declares that 'this they begin to do and now nothing they have imagined will be withheld from them' & 'man's days shall be 120 years'
	YHWH sees that the whole world is spoiled (שָׁחַת) & violent & tells Noah that he is going to bring an overflow (מַבּוּל) of waters upon the earth.
	Noah (500 yrs old?) builds Barge (300*50*30 cubits) with upper, lower, and middle stories
on 2-10?	Noah enters the ark (תֵּבָה) (Septuagint says 2-27)
on 2-17	40 days of rain begins (Septuagint says 2-27)
on 3-27?	rain ends.
150 days	water overflows earth for 150 days. (from 2-17 or 3-27?)
????	Wind (ר֙וּחַ) begins to blow back the waters
150 days	waters recede for 150 days (same 150 or next 150 or overlapping 150?)
on 7-15	ark comes to rest upon (wrecks upon?) Mount Ararat אֲרָרָֽט
on 10-1	the tops of the mountains are seen
on 40th day	opened window & sends out raven & dove.
on 47th day	sends out dove: returns with Olive branch.
on 54th day	sends out dove: never returns
on 1-1	removed covering of the ark: ground was dry
on 2-27	earth completely dry
????	Noah builds altar and sacrifices animals on it. YHWH makes covenant with him

each date can be absolute or can measure from Noah's 600th birthday or from some other event within the flood itself (like the 40 days)

Egyptian calendar:
1 Week = 10 days
1 month = 3 Weeks = 30 days
1 year = 12 months + 5 days

Enoch calendar:
1 Week = 7 days
1 month = 30 days
1 season = 3 months + 1 day = 13 weeks = 91 days
1 year = 4 seasons = 364 days

the following math is relevant and may be helpful to understanding the flood chronology but should not be taken to imply an endorsement of any one interpretation over any other:
150 days ≅ 1.5 seasons = 4.5 months
2-15 + 150 days = 7-15
150 days + 150 days = 10 months
2-15 + 7-15 = 10-1
1-1 + 40 + 7 + 7 = 2-25

Sons of Adam

From Genealogies of Genesis: The following table lists the patriarchs that appear in the Vulgate and the Septuagint, but their names are spelled as they appear in the King James Version of the Bible. Their year of birth differs according to the Vulgate or the Septuagint. (AM = Anno Mundi = in the year of the world). Also given is each patriarch's age at the birth of his named son and the age of the patriarch's death. Cainan, born after the flood is mentioned in the Septuagint but not the Vulgate. Methuselah survived the Flood according to the Septuagint (but not the Vulgate), even though he was not on Noah's Ark.

Nearly all modern translations of Genesis are derived from the Masoretic (Hebrew) Text. But there are also two other versions of Genesis: the Samaritan (in an early Hebrew script) and the Septuagint (a Greek translation of an early Hebrew text). Although, scholars are aware that these three versions of

have different numbers, people who have seen only the commonly available translations are often unaware that other versions exist. The numbers in the Masoretic, Samaritan, and Lucianic Septuagint versions of Genesis 5 are shown in this table:

¹According to most interpretations, including the New Testament Epistle to the Hebrews, Enoch did not die, but was taken away by God (at an age of 365). Genesis states that Enoch "walked with God; and he was not; for God took him."

Seth to Cain

From Generations of Adam:

Form critics consider the two lines as corruptions of one tradition. Both the similarities and the differences between lines are significant and do not admit simple explanation. Still, there is a general consensus that the Cainite list was from the Jahwist source, while the Sethite was added in from the Priestly source.

The Sethite genealogy may also be connected to the Sumerian King List. Evidence for this include the solar symbolism of the seventh figure on each list (the Sumerian king Enmeduranna sharing his name with the city where worship of the sun god was focused, Enoch living 365 years). Like Enoch, Enmeduranna's advisor Utuabzu ascended to heaven. Fritz Hommel further argued that Amelon was Enosh (both third in the list with names meaning "mankind"), that Ammenon was Cainan/Cain (both fourth and connected to craftsmanship), and so on; noting that the tenth in each line was a hero who survived a world flood. Still, this position is argued against due to linguistic incompatibilities in half the names. Similarities between Irad and Eridu have also been pointed out. Thomas Kelly Cheyne argued that the two genealogies may also be connected to a North Arabian genealogy, one reproducing the other. Cheyne claimed that Mahalalel was a corruption of Jerahmeel, and Methuselah was a corruption of Ishmael. Cheyne's theories are now rejected, however.

The following table displays the most common line of comparison between the Sethite and Cainite lines (which reverses much of the Cainite list), as well as North Arabian genealogy (per Cheyne), and the Sumerian king list.

Judges

Main article: Book of Judges

Solomon began building the temple 480 years after the Exodus^{1_kings 6˄]}. 410 years are accounted for in the book of judges. This would seem to leave 70 years to account for the wandering in the desert (40 years), Joshua's life after the conquest (unknown), and the reigns of Shamgar (unknown), Eli (40 years), Philistines (20 years), Samuel (unknown), David (40 years), and the 4 years that Solomon ruled before beginning to build the Temple.

Kings of Judah

Main article: Books of Kings

Edwin R. Thiele in The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings (1951) concluded that two different methods for counting the years of a king's reign were used at different times and places. In the accession method, the year in which a king ascended to the throne was called his accession year, and the following year was the first year of that king's reign. In the non-accession method, the year of a king's accession is simply counted as the first year of his reign. According to Thiele, the Kingdom of Israel appears to have used the non-accession year method for counting years, while the Kingdom of Judah used the accession method until Athaliah seized power in Judah, when Israel's non-accession method appears to have been adopted in Judah.
In addition, Thiele also concluded that Israel counted years using the ecclesiastical new year starting in the spring month of Nisan, while Judah counted years using the civil year starting in the autumn month of Tishrei.

Revelation, if not the whole Bible, is (perhaps deliberately) ambiguous. It is impossible to say that any one arrangement is the 'correct' one. This is just the most obvious arrangement

Abaddon:

Job 26:6, Job 28:22, Job 31:12, proverbs 15:11, proverbs 27:20, Psalm 88:11

four swords:

Ez 14:12–21, Jer 14:12, Jer 15:1–3, 2Sam 24:13

Messages to the churches

John turned and saw one LIKE a son of adam dressed in a robe reaching to his feet with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held 7 stars (the angels of the 7 churches), and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. (holds the key of death and hades)

Church	These are the words of	To him who overcomes
Ephesus	him who hold the 7 stars in his right hand & walks among the 7 golden lampstands	I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God
Smyrna	him who is the first and the last, who died and came to life again	will not be hurt at all by the second death
Pergamum	him who has the sharp double-edged sword	I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
Thyatira	The Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze	and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations-He will rule them with an iron scepter;He will dash them to pieces like pottery-just as I have received authority from my father. I will also give him the morning star
Sardis	him who holds the 7 spirits of God and the 7 stars	will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my father and his angels
Philadelphia	him who is holy and true. Who holds the key of David1Chron 9:17–27 (rod of moses?). What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open	I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of the heaven of my God; And I will also write on him my new name
Laodicea	the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of Gods creation	I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my father on his throne

Gospels

Transcluded from User:Lemmiwinks2/Gospel_harmony_(based_on_Matthew). (edit)

A Gospel Harmony attempts to show the relationship of the stories in each gospels to the corresponding stories in each of the other gospels. In the following Harmony Matthew is presented in order and the other gospels are made to conform with it. One could, however, create a Harmony based on any of the gospels. There is, of course, no guarantee that any of the gospels are in perfect chronological order.

The emphasis of the following chart is on where Jesus went and what he did rather than on what he said since he could have and probably did say the same thing on many different occasions. The first column presents all of Matthew (in order). The second column presents Luke down to Luke 6:12. At this point Luke jumps back to the Sermon on the Mount. The third column presents the remainder of Luke. The fourth column presents all of John (in order). Mark follows Luke's order (more or less) but uses Matthew's wording. It is therefore interwoven with Matthew. I have marked those parts of Matthew that are also in Mark 1:1 - 4:34 with an asterisk; and those parts of Matthew that are also in Mark 4:35 - end with a double asterisk; parts appearing in Mark but not Matthew are in parenthesis.

**18 At that time, (Mark says in the house in Capernaum, he asked them what they were arguing about on the road. they kept silent) (Matthew says disciples ask 'who is the greatest'?) (Matthew says whoever humbles himself like this child (same child that was cured of epilepsy?) is the greatest) whoever welcomes a little child like this welcomes me. (Mark adds whoever isn't against us is for us) if anyone causes one of these little ones to sin it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck. better to enter life crippled than to be whole and cast into hell (Mark adds everyone will be salted with fire. if salt loses its saltiness how will it be salted again? have salt within yourselves and be at peace)		argument started about who was greatest.

(Matthew adds if so then it is better not to marry. not all can accept this but the one who can should). little children brought to him. The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. (Mark adds anyone who will not receive the kingdom like a little child will never enter it. Rich young man asks 'what good thing must I do to get eternal life'. Only God is good. Told to sell all his possessions. (Mark says his face fell) easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. With God all things are possible. Disciples said we have left all. You will receive 100 times as much is this age and in the next eternal life. But many who are first will be last.		Set his face for Jerusalem. (on border between Galilee and Samaria as he entered a village, healed 10 lepers?) Samaritan village does not we[come him. shall we call fire down as Elijah did? let the dead bury the dead.	Then went back beyond Jordon to where John had been baptizing. in that place many believed.
