Our Old Testament timeline offers believers a valuable roadmap for navigating the vast and storied landscape of Scripture’s earliest narratives. By situating key events and figures in a clear chronological framework, we gain fresh perspective on how God orchestrated His redemptive plan through eras of creation, covenants, conquests, and captivity. This method of studying Scripture shines light on the divine thread tying together everything from Adam’s first breath in Eden to the return of God’s people from Babylonian exile. As we trace these pivotal moments in order, we discover not only a cohesive story of humanity’s struggle and redemption, but also an ongoing revelation of God’s steadfast faithfulness, His eternal wisdom, and His enduring desire to dwell among His people.
God called Abraham from a pagan world to begin a new nation. God instructed Abram to Go forth from your country and from your relatives and from your father’s house. At that point they dwelt in the city of Haran, not to be confused with Abram’s deceased brother of the same name. Abram’s Father Terah had led them out of Ur to settle in Haran, where Terah lived until his death. Now God gave a command: go forth.
