People & Events of the Bible 

(Only the most prominent people and events are shown on the timeline above.  The events shown in RED are links to other timelines.  The people and events shown in BLACK are links to information about that person, or event.  Click here if you do not see the larger timeline.)

The period of time from Creation to the Flood was over 1,600 years, yet we have little information about this period of history.  After the Flood, we have a great deal of information.  In fact, most of the Old Testament (even most of Genesis) is devoted to the time after the flood. 

The above timeline is attempting to summarize the most prominent of these events and show how each of these are related.  (The dates for each event above is only an approximation and not meant to be exact.)  Each event, if you really want to see it, shows just how much God loves and cares for His people.

As noted above:

• Clicking on a RED EVENT above will bring up a different timeline with additional details.
• Clicking on a BLACK NAME in the timeline above will bring up information, about that person or persons, to this lower section.  You may be taken to another timeline to get that information.
