The Bible Timeline: the 4 Major time periods in Scripture

The Bible covers a long history of the nation of Israel and the beginnings of the Christian movement. It can be tough to wrap your mind around the 2,000+ year saga that the Bible tells, but fortunately for us, Matthew gave us a good way to break it down.

The New Testament begins by splitting the Old Testament events into roughly three chapters (Matthew 1:17), and beginning a new era. These chapters are still useful for understanding the Bible's timeline today.

This whiteboard video will give you a feel for the overall timeline of the Bible by breaking biblical history down into four simple chapters:

1. Abraham to David
2. David to the Babylonian exile
3. Exile to Messiah
4. The age of the Messiah, or "These last days" as some New Testament writers put it.

This is by far the best breakdown I’ve seen that isn’t overwhelming.

I wanted to teach my kids about how the bible is put to together in more depth and we really found this so thorough, clearly communicated and easy to understand. Thanks

[aniquinstark]

This video is excellent from a theological and historical point of view. If only every teacher was so thorough.

Hi Jeffrey, I ran across your You Tube Channel through similar You Tuber's like Tim Mackie's You Tube Channel and his Bible Project videos wherein he teaches the bible using animation and a running dialog with someone asking him questions which are also very good and Living Waters You Tube videos. Thank you so much for making your Whiteboard videos!!! I have just started watching them and I find your explanations concerning Scripture are the most succinct I have ever heard. Especially this one going through the Bible Time Line in less than 13 minuets. I love to study the Bible and in this short video you help me better understand the cohesion of the scripture from Genesis to Revelation that I have found. I do hope you will make more I also want to let you know that the Comment section was not visible on your video about the 4 Gospels. I have added yo to my prayer list. Thank you again, Sandra
