God measures time in CHRONOLOGIES... * Chronologies are selective records of time that God counts. * There are also periods that God doesn't count! * You need to combine the two sets of records to get a continuous record. * In some reckoned periods, God adds an extra JUBILEE year every 49 years! ##God's Plan Are we here by accident or are we here as part of God's plan, and if so what is that plan? * Does everything result from evolution and some sort of chance cosmic event that somehow managed to bring order out of chaos? * Or was everything designed by a supernatural God? * If so, what does the future hold? God's Plan for the Ages was established right at the start of the Bible in creation week - "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years" (2 Peter 3:8). So, Bible Chronology looks at God's guidebook, the Bible, to find out about God's Plan. ##The Bible The Bible is remarkable. It's made up of... * 66 books... * that were written by about 40 different authors... * over a period of probably 2000 years, yet we will see that... * it contains a consistent message * and it has been written with a knowledge of past, present and future events that the 40 or so individual authors could not have possessed individually. No other book, secular or religious, can make these claims and stand up to scrutiny. It's just as though the Bible was written by one author who knows everything. The Bible is the book where we can find out if we're here as part of God's plan and what that plan is. 1 2008-12-11T14:59:32-08:00 1 1 true 2010-02-24T17:56:35-08:00
