You are viewing lesson 1 in the series “Times of Israel” which provides 61 pages that give you a comprehensive overview of the Biblical history of Israel. The main events of Bible times, the great empires, Bible characters, and the books of the Bible, are all put into a framework that is easily understood and memorised.
The Times of Israel chart helps you to see at a glance where Bible books and characters fit into the twelve periods. The chart is divided into three parts; this is the first.

Chart 1 (above) charts the early times and formative period prior to the kingdom of Israel.
Chart 2 details the rise and fall of the earthly kingdom including the kingdom of David, Solomon's reign, the empire's division and fall, and the remnant rebuilt.
Chart 3 covers the latter days including the Messiah's coming and the establishment of his worldwide heavenly kingdom.
The Time heading is a link to the index in the set dealing with that time.
The Figures line lists a few of the great people of the Bible in that time slot, but of course this list is by no means complete.
The Begins With line gives you a marker event that occurs at the beginning of each period. Of course there are many other important occasions in the Times of Israel, but the events in the chart are those which occur where one period ends and another begins.
