Bible Timelines Online contains a series of over 20 free timelines (charts) showing God's love throughout.  Even though the typical timeline shows when an event took place these timelines were designed to help in understanding the reasons "Why?" an event happened rather than to show exactly when it happened.  In other words, these timelines are not your typical Bible timelines.  (If you are needing specific dates you are not likely to find them here, sorry.)  Many of these timelines contain hyperlinks (buttons) that will display additional information about a specific event, or topic.  Being able to see the Bible's overall "big picture" in timeline form can sometimes help us to understand the smaller events, which in turn makes it easier for us to see God's great love for each of us.  (Please see the 6 minute video entitled "A Bible Summary - The Big Picture" in addition to studying the Gospel Timeline.)

 The information in the Bible can be viewed as pieces of a very large puzzle.   This website is designed to help sort and arrange these "puzzle" pieces into an understandable picture.  The entire site is divided into five categories, as displayed in the Table of Contents at the left.  These categories are:

• Bible History Timelines (These timelines/charts are attempting to place events in their correct sequence and show why things happened the way they did.  They show what God has already done for us.) 

• Bible Prophecy Timelines (These timelines/charts are showing a few prophecies in timeline format.  They show a little of what God will do for us.)

• Bible Principles Timelines (These timelines/charts are attempting to show a few very important principles in timeline format, thereby giving us a better picture of who God is and what He's like.)

• Non-Timeline topics (These topics are attempting to answer tough questions like:  "Is there really a God?"; "Why is there so much suffering?";  "What happens when you die?";  "How can I find the truth?";  "What is going to happen in the future?";  "Is Jesus really going to come back to this earth?  Why?";  "How can I know for sure?";  "What's in it for me?",  plus many others) 

• Presentations (This is a category that was created just so that all of the available presentations could be found in one place.  Now there are several presentations in video format as well.  All of the PowerPoint presentations and some of the web versions are now available in Spanish as well.)

  God’s love is the sum of all that the Bible stands for, a summary of all that is included in it’s pages.  Every event, every story and every principle in the Bible shows the character of God, His goodness and love, or it shows just how much sin hurts and destroys everything it touches.  If you find something in the Bible that you do not understand, try looking at it from this angle. 

When Jesus came to this earth His purpose was to show us what God the Father was like.  Everything Jesus taught, everything He did was for that purpose.  Think of it as similar to the way we study our sun.  If the sun were right here it would totally destroy us, but life is made possible because it is where it is and so we study it by observing what it does from where it's at.  The more we focus on our sun the more we learn about it.  In like manner, the more we focus on Jesus the more we learn what He is like.

When you love someone, you want the absolute best for them and because we know that God loves us we can also know that He wants the absolute best for us.  This is why God must destroy sin completely.  He is always thinking about our happiness and our well being in everything He does and in everything He asks of us.  (See Jeremiah 29:11)  In fact, Jesus came to earth so that we might have life and have more of it, not just after we get to heaven, but also right now.  (See John 10:10)  What this means is that God wants you to be really happy, even beyond your wildest dreams, and because of this you can trust Him completely!

God has promised,  "And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart."  Jeremiah 29:13   The more we learn about God, the more we will appreciate this love and so this site is dedicated to sharing lessons learned about God and about His love. 

START HERE !

Where you should start actually depends on who you are spiritually and what you are here for.  Here are a few suggestions:

If you are already a Christian but would like to see the bigger picture: 

• It is suggested that you first study to understand the Gospel Timeline and then study "Theater" of the Universe Timeline and try to understand the overall picture that the Bible talks about.  Both of these timelines can be found in the "Principles" category.  Understanding the Bible teachings shown in these two timelines will make it much easier to understand how all the other historical events, prophecies and Bible principles fit into the "Big Picture".  And, if you have ever wondered how a loving God can allow so much suffering, pain and death, you will find that answer in these two timelines.

If you are already a Christian and only need information on a specific topic: 

• Just find the correct topic, or timeline, in the yellow table of contents at the left, click and begin digging.

If you are not a Christian and not even sure that there is a God: 

• It is suggested that you first look at the Non-Timeline Topics Is Jesus for REAL? &  Is there a REAL God? & Can we trust our Bibles?, because if God does not really exist then none of the other topics matter at all.  Ask Him to show you that He is real (Be sincere!) and when He does you will know for sure.

Are you discouraged?  Have lots of problems?  (Click here for encouragement.)
