Valuable Information About Biblical Timeline

By Francis Riggs


The Bible is not about old tales that have little or no relevance in today's world. Actually, it is a living doctrine that has spanned millennia and is alive and breathing even at the present moment. Of course, there are moments of great historical and spiritual interest in the Biblical Timeline. This includes Jesus Christ being born as a man and man being expelled from the Garden of Eden. Every Christian should at least be aware of these two events and take a further step to know more about other occurrences that are part of this spiritual timeline. The beginning of everything is creation where God brought life to the emptiness that was all around.

Divinely inspired events have often times driven the course of history. At times, the threads of secular advancement have often times intertwined with what can be considered as biblically inspired happenings. Most importantly, predictions from the Holy Book about the rise and fall of Babylon, Persia and other great world empires, have actually been fulfilled. According to theologists, the present world is post-Roman Empire but there is talk about regrouping of the elements of the last great empire.

The seasoned Bible scholar knows this topic like the back of his hand. This is because he takes time and great effort to dig through the sacred texts with the goal of finding the truth behind major historical occurrences. Researches of great scholars have led to valuable insights and findings that have been summarized into books.

It is natural for men of the cloak to have intense interest on matters spiritual. However, anyone can choose to pursue the road of divine knowledge. It can be done as part of a spiritual journey, pure fun, quest for discovery or even that intense thirst for knowledge. Being informed on topics of great interest is something to be proud of. This makes it easy to be part of lofty conversations.

According to Bible history, there are two major chapters of history. These are old and new testament. The latter is the current dispensation that started with the birth of Jesus Christ. The birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are considered miraculous by Christians.

Christians are very much interested in the New Testament but this is not to say that they are the only people who have interest in great Bible events. Adherents of Judaism and Islam have their eyes focused on the Old Testament because this is the part that mostly concerns them. This sequel has also attracted the interest of people who do not practice any faith because events such as the birth of Christ and the great flood are just too magnanimous to be ignored and there are those who are interested in revealing whether these events did take place.

This time-line would never be interesting without the constant struggle between good and bad that placed heroes and villains against each other. Even the casual reader is aware of the greatest villain of all time: Judas. The greatest moment of awe is resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Humans have walked the earth for millennia. The Bible story is believed by many to be an account of the human story. According to biblical accounts, great spiritual men have risen and in the same breath, men of valor have caused tides of change.
