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.
Incidents that can be considered as divinely inspired have often shaped history. An important part of the timeline, is the rise and fall of the great empires such as Babylon, Persia, Media, Roman and Greece. These have all been described in the Bible yet there is sufficient documentation that they actually existed. As a matter of fact, the remnants of the Roman Empire are in existence until today and according to Christian revelation, they may actually come together at a future date if such an occurrence has not happened already.
This is a topic of immense interest to any individual who is a Bible scholar. There is a lot that can be studied in this vast and great book. No man can say he has everything spiritual, at his fingertips. Learning is a continuous process and even scholars are aware of that fact. These learned individuals are always carrying out research work and in the process revealing findings and insights that shape the world of academia, in a positive way.
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.
Basically, it starts at Genesis and ends at revelation. These are millenias of the interaction between man and God that can be divided into Old Testament that is a covenant between God and the Israeli people and the new covenant between God and every person on the face of the earth. The miraculous birth of Jesus, his death and subsequent miraculous resurrection is part of the new dispensation of things.
The Old Testament forms part of the core doctrine of Judaism and Islam. Christianity has both testaments and both are connected by prophesies in the old dispensation being fulfilled in the new dispensation. Many people including those who are not part of the three major religions have been interested in what believers say happened in days of the past. There are many who have undertaken to investigate the validity of such occurrences.
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.
