Timeline Charts,
With Principle Events;
From Adam to the destruction of Jerusalem:
4004 b.c. -- a.d. 69.
We have below
reproduced 25 charts from the Companion Bible by E.W. Bullinger showing the principle
events in time sequence. Seeing them on a graph such as
this enables the student to get a more clear picture in their
mind of when the events transpired in relation to other Biblical
events.
The reader will
at once notice an 'inconsistency' in the dating compared to
currently held norms. The reason for this is that Bullinger
adjusted for the Lo-Ammi periods.1 'Lo-Ammi' in the
Hebrew means "not my people," the Lo-Ammi
periods
are a series of spans of time (10 of them) when Israel (all
of Israel first and then Judah after Israel was scattered) was
placed into the captivities because she transgressed
against the Lord, and the Lord thus said that Israel is "not
My people." The Lord was so angry at Israel (for
idolatry) that He cast them aside and did not even 'remember'
the years.
So Bullinger,
adjusting for the Lo-Ammi periods, based his dating
on what he called Anno Dei reckoning (in God's Time).
For instance, common reckoning places the fall of Samaria and the
taking into captivity of Israel (when Israel 'ends') at 721 b.c., but taking into account the Lo-Ammi
periods, and using Anno Dei reckoning, this event occurred
in 611 b.c..
In Ap 91 of the Companion Bible, the perfection of this dating (and
God's prophecies) is beautifully illustrated. For in that
appendix, it shows the times of Daniels '70 weeks prophecy',
and how they perfectly align, to the exact year, i.e.,
The prophecy
gives 70 sevens:
the seven
sevens (49 years) start at 454 b.c. (Anno Dei reckoning)
and end at 405 b.c..
From the end
of the seven sevens, (in 405 b.c.) the threescore and two sevens (62 sevens) is 434
years which end at the exact year of a.d. 29, that is the identical year
that MESSIAH was 'cut off' (crucified), just as the
prophecy stated five centuries prior, that He would be cut
off at that time.
Thus, once
again, we see that God's Word, and His words, are perfect!
Without factoring-in the Lo-Ammi periods, when
Israel was "not my people," the prophecy does
not align. Thus, that the knowledge of the Lord's Lo-Ammi
periods
is of the utmost benefit to the deeper student of God's Word
should be immediately realized, for all prophecy
takes these several 110 years out of reckoning. See Ap 91 for a
more thorough treatment. Also see footnote.1
