History Of The Israelites In The Bible
Preaching Through The OT More Effectively Using A Biblical Timeline Chart
In a Bible class some years ago, somebody, who had been a Christian and laboured in the local Church for years, asserted that,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about......" (they were not talking about the pre-mosaic law) I wonder just how many Christians would actually pick up the inaccuracy in this assertion. Moses existed about five hundred years after Abraham and so it is not possible. I have since then compiled a Biblical chronology chart and shown visually the dating of people and occasions.
Why do we get stuck in a rut of our pet themes and sugar coated discourses?
We instruct on a verse from Joshua and a story about Hezekiah and a topical from the book of James and then the obedience of Isaac or the strength of Samson - parts from here and there, but we do not put it all at once in an apparent understandable, simple to remember, perspective with a good Bible TimeLine and Church History as well. Constantly we are bombarded with new books, modernist ideas, a few of them hazardously edging toward Liberal thinking, but if we were to be taught the fundamental principles of Church history, we then wouldn't be so doomed to do the same again.
Let's us as tutors and preachers sew together the fragments of God's Word and His plan into a seamless tapestry that our people can draw on for the remainder of life, helping them to comprehend God, His Eternal Plan, the function of the Church and how to better interpret the Bible to model our lives by.
It is not difficult to do, and it is not boring if we are ready to put in a bit of study and prayer and fervor, and just maybe you can make use of a Bible Timeline too.
