A scrollable timeline through the Bible.

Genesis begins with God creating the heavens and the earth by His word. The world is ordered, filled, blessed, and declared good, with humanity made in the image of God.

Adam and Eve disobey God, and sin enters human history. Genesis 3 explains exile from Eden, broken relationships, and the first promise that evil will not have the final word.

The first family story after Eden shows worship, jealousy, murder, and mercy. Cain kills Abel, yet the Lord still confronts him and marks him, showing judgment without immediate annihilation.

Genesis traces the line from Adam to Noah through generations marked by both death and promise. The genealogy keeps the story moving from Eden toward judgment, preservation, and covenant.

In a corrupt generation, Noah finds grace and obeys God by building the ark. The flood shows judgment and mercy, ending with covenant promise and the sign of the rainbow.

After the flood, God blesses Noah and establishes a covenant with every living creature. The rainbow becomes a sign that judgment will not erase the world before God completes His purposes.

Human ambition gathers around a city and tower, seeking a name apart from God. The confusion of languages scatters the nations and prepares the way for Abraham.

God calls Abram to leave his country and promises land, descendants, blessing, and a name given by God. Abraham becomes the beginning of the covenant family.

God makes covenant promises to Abraham, pledging descendants, land, and blessing for the nations. Genesis returns again and again to this promise as the backbone of Israel's story.

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah stands as a severe witness to judgment, corruption, and intercession. Abraham pleads before the Lord, and Lot is delivered from the doomed city.

Abraham's servant finds Rebecca through prayer, hospitality, and providence. The story shows the covenant family continuing through Isaac with God quietly guiding ordinary decisions.

The Lord calls Moses from the burning bush and reveals His name. A reluctant shepherd is sent back to Egypt as God's deliverer.

On the night of deliverance, Israel marks the doors with blood and eats the Passover meal in haste. The event becomes a lasting memorial of redemption from slavery.

Israel is trapped between Pharaoh and the sea, but the Lord opens a way through the waters. The crossing becomes one of Scripture's defining images of salvation.

Balaam is hired to curse Israel, but God turns intended curses into blessing. The episode shows that Israel's future rests on God's word rather than enemy schemes.

In the days of the judges, Ruth's loyalty and Boaz's kindness become part of the family line leading to David. The story turns ordinary faithfulness into covenant significance.

Samson is gifted with unusual strength but marked by instability and compromise. His story shows both the tragedy of sin and God's power to deliver through a flawed judge.

David faces Goliath with trust in the Lord rather than armor or size. His victory prepares the way for his rise in Israel.

David is established as king over Israel and makes Jerusalem his capital. His reign becomes the central royal reference point for later hopes of a faithful son of David.

God promises David a house, kingdom, and throne. Later Scripture looks back to this promise when speaking of the Messiah.

Solomon asks the Lord for wisdom to govern the people well. His request and the judgment that follows make wisdom a defining feature of his early reign.

Solomon builds the temple in Jerusalem, giving Israel a central place for worship and sacrifice. The temple becomes a major symbol in biblical history.

After Solomon, the kingdom divides into Israel in the north and Judah in the south. The split frames much of Kings and the prophetic ministry that follows.

Elijah confronts the prophets of Baal and calls Israel to decide whom they will worship. Fire from the Lord answers the prophet's prayer.

Persian, Greek, and Roman power shape the world into which Jesus is born. Synagogues, Scripture reading, messianic hope, and Roman occupation form the New Testament setting.

After Alexander the Great, Greek language and culture spread across the eastern Mediterranean. This background helps explain the world of the Septuagint, synagogues, and later New Testament mission.

Jewish resistance to Antiochus IV reshapes Second Temple history and memory. The period is not part of the Protestant Old Testament canon, but it helps explain later Jewish hopes and tensions under empire.

In the garden, Jesus prays in agony and submits to the Father's will. The scene reveals the weight of the cross before the arrest and trials begin.

Jesus is condemned, crucified, and buried. The Gospels present the cross as suffering, sacrifice, kingship, and the center of redemption.

The tomb is found empty and Jesus appears alive to His followers. The Resurrection becomes the decisive announcement of victory over death.

The risen Jesus blesses His followers and ascends, promising the Spirit and commissioning witness to the nations. The story moves from Gospel climax into Acts mission.
