Timelines
King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, said, "there is a time for every event under heaven". (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Any serious examination of Scripture is incomplete without understanding the historical context in which Biblical events unfold. I've created these timelines as another resource to aid in studies of the Word. Because they are detailed and extensive, these timelines are best viewed in a maximized browser window on a laptop or desktop.
These interactive timelines clear the fog of the centuries and bring history and the Word into focus.
For millennia, the city of Jerusalem has been the focus of numerous kingdoms, stunning idolatry, horrendous wars, and the national capital of Israel and their worship of G-d. The timeline below covers a period from around 2,000 BCE to modern times and reflects the group or nation that had control of the city of Jerusalem. The timeline does not reflect exact dates but only general time periods.

I am pleased to present this interactive timeline of the Common Era from the first century until the early twenty-first century.
My goal in creating this timeline was to present the world's major historical events as both the background and driver for the evolution of Christian thought and practice.
The timeline is divided into three sections, top to bottom:
- The top = church history
- The middle = world leaders and other influential individuals
- The bottom = inventions, philosophies, and other world events.

My recent studies of the writings of the prophets have brought my attention to the era of the kings of Israel and Judah. I am pleased to present this interactive timeline of the kings and prophets of Israel and Judah to assist our readers in their understanding of this period of history.
While primarily focused on the events of the divided kingdom, the timeline extends from the time of Saul (around 1042 BCE) through the period of Judah after the Temple was reconstructed (circa 513 BCE).

I'm pleased to present this interactive timeline of the Tanakh. The timeline below covers Creation through the end of the events described in the Tanakh around 440 BCE. It represents numerous hours of study and prayer. Many thanks are due a very dear friend and contributor who has modestly requested to remain anonymous. His insight, assistance, and encouragement made the development of this timeline a possibility.
