Dates are based on chronological analysis of biblical texts, combining internal references (ages, reign lengths, genealogies) with external historical records. Both Anno Hominis (from Creation) and BCE/CE dates are provided where possible.
What types of events are included?
Events are categorized into: Birth, Death, Reign begins/ends, Covenant, Battle, Marriage, Prophecy, Construction, Travel, Vision, Message, Meeting, Destruction, and Jubilee.
Can I filter events by type?
Yes. Use the filter pills at the top to show only specific event types. For example, click "Covenant" to see all covenant events, or "Battle" to see all battles.
Are the descriptions translated?
Event titles are translated into your language. Descriptions that are Bible quotes are pulled from the Bible translation in your language. Editorial descriptions are also translated.
What are Jubilee events?
Jubilees were special years occurring every 50 years in ancient Israel when debts were forgiven, slaves freed, and land returned to original owners. The timeline marks all 70 Jubilees from the entry into Canaan.
How accurate is the chronology?
The chronology follows established biblical scholarship, particularly the work of Edwin R. Thiele for the period of the kings. Some dates are approximate and scholars may differ on specific years.
Can I click on Scripture references?
Yes. When an event includes a Scripture reference, a clickable link appears that takes you directly to that verse in the Bible reader.
