OLD TESTAMENT
A standard chronology of the Old Testament has been constructed utilizing diagrams, charts and other forms of graphic representation which address this complex subject in a scriptural and scholarly yet easy-to-understand manner. Beginning with the Creation recorded in the first two chapters of Genesis, the continuous unbroken line of dated events embedded within the Holy Scriptures is logically followed as it spans 40 centuries to the Crucifixion and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Over the years detractors have observed the differing chronological solutions and concluded that the attempt to construct a reliable biblical framework was futile. It will be demonstrated that every chronological statement contained in the Sacred Writ is consistent with all other chronological statements contained therein.
