The World History Timeline is a visual companion to the Bible and
history books. It portrays key figures and important events throughout
the history of the world, organizing them in their place in time.
These pieces of history were painstakingly researched and carefully
referenced from many sources, including the Bible.
The World History Timeline is
divided into separate time periods. These divisions are marked
with lines starting at the center of the chart, extending toward the
outer perimeter. The ending of each line is labeled with the
appropriate time period, as shown in a segment of the World History
Timeline to the left, labeled Figure 1. Biblical and Historical figures
and events are depicted between each of these time divisions.
Christ is found on the line, labeled 0, running down the middle of the
chart, as illustrated in Figure 1. To the right of this line are all the people and events before Christ and to the left
are all people
and events after Christ.
Organizing events and figures of history in this manner allows us to see the whole
picture, adding meaning and clarity. Although most of us have a general
knowledge of Bible and World History, this knowledge is like a very
large puzzle that is too difficult and time consuming to put together.
The World History Timeline assembles these small puzzle pieces, so that
we are able to view, at a glance, these biblical and historical events
in an organized and meaningful way.

Figure 2 on the right is a
good example of the greater meaning that can be obtained from the whole
picture. As the timeline reveals, Confucius lived in the same time
period as the biblical figure Daniel. The history sources of these
people are so drastically different that a link between them would not
otherwise be made. This also builds a closer connection between our
Bible
history and traditional history.
The World History Timeline organizes
abstract pieces of history in such a way that it is easy to trace the lineage of civilizations
back to our biblical ancestors. As a
result, we experience a closer connection with the Bible.

As illustrated in figure 3:
China, Persia, Greece, and Rome are all descendents of the Japhetic
line. The World History Timeline shows this lineage with color
coordination. The Japhetic line is represented by the color
blue, the Semitic line is green, and Hamitic line is red.
