Class started today with a timeline on the board. We mentioned Recorded History, Biblical History, and Personal History. We used the following approximate dates for Biblical Events.
4000 BC - Creation
2500 BC - Noah, Flood
2000 BC - Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel
1500 BC - Moses (Deliverance from Egypt)
1000 BC - David (Man after God's own heart)
500 BC - Ezra (Return from Exile)
4 BC - Possible corrected date for Birth of Christ
90 AD - Approximate date of last written book of Bible
I believe that it's all HIS Story, and that our Personal Timeline is an opportunity to partner with God in His purposes. Just think for a minute about these approximate numbers.
7 Billion - Approximate population on the planet in 2011.
4.5 Billion - Approximate number of people without a relationship with Jesus.
1 Billion - Approximate number of people who have never heard the Good News of Jesus.
1 Billion - Approximate number of starving people in our world.
How's our generation doing in meeting the needs around us?
