1. The Bible and World History on One Continuous Line

Most timelines show you one thing at a time. You're left trying to line them up in your head. This chart puts them together. Every nation is drawn as a colored stream on a single line that runs from Adam to the Most recent historical events, with the events of Scripture on the very same axis. Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome, China, and the kings and prophets of Israel all sit exactly where they belong in relation to each other.

2. You Can Finally See Who Lived at the Same Time

Instead of reading Genesis as a list of names and ages, you see each life drawn as a line, one above the other, so the overlaps are obvious. You see how long Adam's descendants lived alongside each other. You see which prophets were alive under which kings, and which empire was rising while they preached. Once you've seen it, you read those chapters differently.

3. Shows What the Rest of the World Was Doing

While Joseph ran Egypt, what was happening in China?

Who was building in Greece when David was king?

Every nation on this chart is a stream that begins, widens, splits, and ends, all on the same axis as Scripture.

4. Hangs on the Wall, or Folds Into a Book

Fully open, the chart runs 23 feet — long enough to line a living room, and impressive enough that people stop in front of it. But it comes as 21 fold-out panels bound in a hardback, so you don't need a wall to use it. Keep it on a shelf or coffee table and open a few panels at a time. Frame a section for a study or a gift. Owners with no wall space use it every week as a book. Owners with wall space put it up and leave it there.

5. Trusted in Homes, Classrooms, and Libraries Since 1871

Sebastian Adams, a minister and schoolteacher, drew this chart by hand in 1871. It has hung in classrooms and college libraries for generations. It's the reference Christian families and history lovers have relied on for over 150 years, in a modern edition that's easier to read, easier to store, and made to last.
