Bible History and Names of God

Bible Timeline
One day I was wanting to review a quick timeline of bible history for quick reference but couldn't find a good one on the net. This is what I came up with. I put one together myself. I don't of course list everyone in the bible that lived, but those that pertain to those I study. If you see any mistakes don't hesitate to post or correct them.

​

​

Genesis To 430 BC

Garden of Eden, Heavens, Earth, Seas

Adam lived 930 years

Eve - not sure

Cain, Abel was born

Abel dies Seth is born to Adam & Eve

Seth lives 912 years

Enosh is next he lived 905 years

Jared lived 962 years

Enoch lived 365 years and was taken - He did not die.

Methuselah lived 969 years - oldest fellow lived "ever" - Methuselah died the year of the Flood

Lemech lived 777 - I love this age. It's the number of perfection

Noah had Shem, Ham, Japheth in 3000 BC

Noah commissioned his firstborn son Shem to be the family high priest. Shem later established a school at Mariah that became the central place for Torah study for the post-flood generation. According to tradition, Shem called the place Shelem, "perfect" or the bedrock at Moriah. Moriah was called Even ha-Shetiyah, "the foundation stone", referring to the creation of the earth on the first day Isaiah 28:16. Later Abraham called the place Adonai Yireh (God will provide). Mariah was renamed by combining these two to form Jerusalem. Abraham was shown Zion, "The mountain of the Lord" and the future site of the Temple as well as the crucifixion.

Nephilim appears - this one I will not attempt to explain, but it's sure a good study.

2500 BC - Flood 150 days, on the 7th month 17th-day ark rested on Ararat, the water receded 10th month+40 days open the ark. Just hope I came close to getting this one right. Give me some mercy here.

Raven went out - left

Dove went out but came back found no rest + 7 days, then sent it again arrived with a leaf in his beak + 7 more days went out again and it never returned.

Genesis 21, 22 seed time & harvest.

People began now to eat meat and before they were plant eaters.

Covenant was first recognized here. God made a covenant with Noah, but not just Noah, but with every living creature, that was with them - bird, livestock and wild animals. A rainbow will be set in the clouds, it will be a sign of the covenant between me and God and the earth. Man and every creature. He then planted a vineyard.

Noah lived to be 950 years old, then died.

Noah's son had many clans and spread out over the face of the earth.

Shem - Noah's son

Terah 2091 BC

Isaac was born (God will provide) Genesis 22. Adondi Yireh seen! To them but not until Ishmael appears first. Rebecca marries Isaac and has Jacob and Esau (1929 BC). (The Lord My God is seen to Jacob)( El Elohe)

Jacob goes to Uncle and finds a wife from his own clan, marries Leah, then Rachel has an encounter with God. He understands that he now has to know God himself, not just the God of his fathers. (This is where we get the phrase "Abraham and Isaac and Jacob" God reveals his covenant to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that he will be their God and they will be His people.
