they know the stories. they have never seen where they sit in history
They can tell you about Noah, Abraham, David. Ask them what Egypt was doing while Joseph was there and it goes quiet.
That is not their fault. Scripture gets taught in one book and world history in another, on different days, as if the two never touched.
They touched constantly. This chart puts them back on the same line.
from creation to the modern age, in one unbroken line
Closed it sits on a shelf like a large book. Opened it is 21 panels, 23 feet long and 27 inches tall.
Creation at one end. The dawn of the 20th century at the other. The Patriarchs, the Judges, the divided kingdom and the exile, each where the biblical record places them, with every empire running alongside.
Dated from Ussher's Annals of the World, the same chronology Sebastian Adams drew from when he made the original in 1871.
the four hundred silent years stop being silent
Between Malachi and Matthew, Scripture goes quiet for four centuries. Most of us picture nothing happening at all.
Open the chart to that stretch and you watch Persia give way to Greece, then Alexander, then the Maccabees, then Rome. The world Christ was born into, built in front of you.
That is usually the moment someone calls the rest of the house over, and nobody moves for an hour.
Heavy 12pt cardstock in a bound hardcover, so it survives being opened again and again. For a homeschool room, a Sunday school class, a church library, or under a tree at Christmas.
