How Chronology Supports a Biblical Framework
For History Revealed, the first step in gaining a biblical framework of history is to interweave the order of secular and sacred events.
Ancient History
For instance, have you ever wondered:
- Why the Roman Empire controlled Jerusalem and the rest of Palestine at the time of Jesus?
- Why the statue Daniel described to King Nebachadnezzar was historically significant?
- Who was King Cyrus of Persia, and how did his name end up in the book of Isaiah?
- What happened in Assyria after Jonah came?
These questions and others help increase our understanding of Biblical stories taking place within the pages of real history. Putting Bible stories within their historical context makes them come alive! It is one of the most exciting parts of discovering the connection between the Bible and history.
Medieval to Early Modern History
Continuing on through history, the events of the historic church are interwoven with secular events. Setting the development of the church in the context of history will enable you to see the impact of the historical church on the surrounding culture and vice versa.
Modern History
As you see the spread of the gospel—the growth of missions, the controversies and divisions, the great revivals, and more—in light of other events of the time, you will grow in your ability to connect the dots—to get a glimpse of the bigger picture of God’s work in the world.
How does connecting the chronology make a difference?
This level of history will help you and your children answer such questions as:
- How do Bible stories like those of Joseph, Daniel, and Esther fit into the pages of history?
- How did the developments of the Greek and Roman empires pave the way for the spread of the good news of Jesus?
- What impact did the early church have on European, African, and Near Eastern civilizations?
- What is the significance of the missionary movements and revivals which are often overlooked in secular history?
