The Bible is not about old tales that have little or no relevance in today's world. Actually, it is a living doctrine that has spanned millennia and is alive and breathing even at the present moment. Of course, there are moments of great historical and spiritual interest in the Biblical Timeline. This includes Jesus Christ being born as a man and man being expelled from the Garden of Eden. Every Christian should at least be aware of these two events and take a further step to know more about other occurrences that are part of this spiritual timeline. The beginning of everything is creation where God brought life to the emptiness that was all around.
Everyone has a different account of history depending on his faith or style of thinking. Christians, Muslims, and Jews always have the opinion that there is a divine hand behind every major global occurrence. Therefore, according to the Bible, the major world empires such as Babylonia and Media-Persia existed because there were pre-ordained by the Creator. The rise and fall of these transnational kingdoms is considered an important part of the bible time-line.
To the Bible scholar, this is a topic of interest. There are those who like digging through the sacred texts and finding more about the major occurrences in history. The research, findings and insights of such scholars has greatly shaped theology.
This subject matter is not only of interest to pastors, bishops, and theology professors. The common person who has an interest in expanding his knowledge bank should also find out more about the topic. It is always great to be the informed person who can easily participate in any talk whether it is a talk about spiritual issues or secular matters.
According to Bible history, there are two major chapters of history. These are old and new testament. The latter is the current dispensation that started with the birth of Jesus Christ. The birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are considered miraculous by Christians.
The interest of any Christian centers mainly in the New Testament although many Christians are also interested in the old dispensation. For Jews and Muslims, the main focus is the old testament. Anybody can have interest in this sequel of happenings either as part of an academic process or just as a way to question things in the quest for the truth.
This time-line would never be interesting without the constant struggle between good and bad that placed heroes and villains against each other. Even the casual reader is aware of the greatest villain of all time: Judas. The greatest moment of awe is resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Much has happened since the first humans inhabited the earth. The Bible has its account of the human story. Men of great valor have risen and above all men of great spiritual inspiration have also graced the face of the earth.
