When it comes to believing in the Bible as the actual Word of God, most see the first event as the Creation of the world in seven days. In most cases, each Biblical timeline starts here with one creation myth or another. An event that is followed closely by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the fall of man due to Satan. The fall of man occurs after Eve, born out of Adam's rib takes a bite of an apple against God's or the Creator's wishes.
Some of which include the original Creation myth, the first event noted in the Bible. Now, as to whether this is an accurate, or the only account of the initial creation of the world has yet to be proved. Still, it is noted that this event took place at the beginning of time as officially known.
Events having taken place during this time frame include the actions of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the fall of man, or like Sleeping Beauty, Eve, the first woman to have been born out of Adam's rib having eaten an evil or sin-filled apple. It is not until around 2067 when the birth of Isaac is reported to have taken place along with the destruction of Sodom. The sacrifice of Isaac according to historical accounts of the bible also took place during this time and only shortly after birth.
Other violent aspects of the old testament appear to have come into being just before the year 3000 BC, the time-frame in which Cain killed Abel and Noah arrived on the scene. It seems a number of events from the Great Flood to the Covenant of the Rainbow also occurred during this time. The violence within the pages of the Old Testament is often something that is often overlooked in churches and synagogues yet these timelines do a great job of at least mentioning the time frame in which beliefs and actions were born.
A good example of how this can go bad is the demise of Lot. An event which happened shortly after the birth of Ishmael whom begat several others, thus fulfilling the prophesy related to descendants. Of course, when a man and a woman are left in a garden of evil, it is only natural that descendants might follow.
One of the most valuable stories which can be learned from the Old Testament is that of a lack of faith and the result of suffering. For, while individuals often think of faith associated with religion, in reality faith is also necessary for success in all acts of life. Faith, which if not present, especially in oneself, can often lead one into severe struggle and suffering over time.
It also becomes clear that a lot can be learned from these timetables. For, if we did not know when Job lost faith, or others were sent to Egypt, we would not be able to tie cause and effect. A process which we can learn a great deal about in life as well as in the pages of the Bible.
For Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans and others who see the Bible as the Divine Word of God or as a book of history, these timelines along with scripture references can provide some great insight into historical events mentioned in the Bible. As to whether or not the many folktales and myths like Noah and the Ark or Jonah and the Whale are real or only imagined, it is still an interesting trip through history.
