Bible Timeline From Adam To Noah
A Biblical History Timeline Gives A Graphical Mode To Aid And Help Biblical Events And Characters And Realities
In our Bible study years ago, a woman who had been a Christian and worked in the local Church for over 15 years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not referring to the pre-Moses law) I wonder how many Christians would actually pick up the inaccuracy in this statement. Moses lived about five hundred years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since then put together a Biblical chronology chart and explained visually the dating of individuals and occasions.
Alas, a many preachers and teachers in our churches go on and preach flimsy, superficial, light weight, shallow messages and their Church members barely grow in biblical knowledge. Preachers love to preach'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we really love people this is what we will do. Regrettable it seems, if God's people are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we are positive and loving to all. In truth, the more relevant we become to this world, the less relevant we are to this world.
Years ago, I was teaching on the burial, resurrection, death and life of Jesus Christ, and a retired minister and strong preacher of the Bible, who had been a minister for 40 years, came up and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he mentioned 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I quietly asked him if I had been teaching anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he replied"No". I continued on to explain that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to examining Scripture but to the false teaching and philosophy of the Gnostics, but he would not have it. So, how can a 40 year preacher & laborer in the Gospel, not understand and know about something that possibly 1/2 the books of the New Testament discuss?
How could he understand and teach the Bible in fullness without being aware of something that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to figure out these things and be in a position to understand their Bible effectively, if they're not informed?
Why do we dwell on our pet themes and sugar coated discourses?
We instruct on a text from Proverbs and a passage about Noah and a theme from the book of Hosea and then the example of Noah or the faith of Noah - pieces from here and everywhere, but we do not put it all together in a visible understandable, easy to remember, perspective with a capable Bible TimeLine with Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a number of them dangerously leaning toward Liberal thinking, when if we were to be taught the basics of Church history, we then would not be so doomed to do the same again.
Let's us as tutors and preachers stitch together the fragments of the Bible and God's plan into a logical whole that our people can draw on for the rest of their lives, to help them to figure out God, His Eternal Plan, the role of the Church and ways to better interpret the Bible to live by.
It is not hard to do, and it's not boring if we are prepared to put in a bit of study with prayer and fervor, and just perhaps you can use a Bible Timeline also.
