The Importance Of Biblical Timeline Websites

By Elaine Guthrie


Whether one is a believer or otherwise, reading the Bible can be quite a journey through time and space. A journey which for believers is often a most pleasant one. Though, also a journey which most non-believers avoid. Still, when it comes to the importance of Biblical Timeline websites, there are often lessons which all can learn beyond the events and associated timeline which prove interesting to most.

Some of which include the original Creation myth, the first event noted in the Bible. Now, as to whether this is an accurate, or the only account of the initial creation of the world has yet to be proved. Still, it is noted that this event took place at the beginning of time as officially known.

There are many events which have been established as recorded history in the Old Testament. Although, there have also been many stories proved simply as folktales, legends and myth. Depending on how each individual reads scripture, there are several which can host several different meanings.

One event on which believers and non-believers can agree is the establishment of something from nothing. After all, even scientist know the universe was born out of a void of darkness. In the Bible, creation is attributed to a higher power known as God though others have seen the establishment of time through more scientific origins.

A good example of how this can go bad is the demise of Lot. An event which happened shortly after the birth of Ishmael whom begat several others, thus fulfilling the prophesy related to descendants. Of course, when a man and a woman are left in a garden of evil, it is only natural that descendants might follow.

When it comes to lessons surrounding suffering and faith, it is reported that the story of Job and his lack of faith and suffering arrived on the scene sometime between 2100 BC and 2500 BC along with the building of the tower of Babel. In 2091, it is reported that God sent Abraham to Egypt which later resulted in the famine in Canaan.

These timetables are also important in proving cause and effect like that tied to Job, faith and suffering. After all, if an individual does not understand which actions lead to suffering, there would most likely be a lot more suffering in the world. Thus, it can be said that cause and effect are also important life tools which individuals can use whether believers or otherwise.

For Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans and others who see the Bible as the Divine Word of God or as a book of history, these timelines along with scripture references can provide some great insight into historical events mentioned in the Bible. As to whether or not the many folktales and myths like Noah and the Ark or Jonah and the Whale are real or only imagined, it is still an interesting trip through history.
