Timeline Charts, With Principle Events;
From Adam to the destruction of Jerusalem:
4004 b.c. -- a.d. 69.

We have below reproduced 25 charts from the Companion Bible by E.W. Bullinger showing the principle events in time sequence. Seeing them on a graph such as this enables the student to get a more clear picture in their mind of when the events transpired in relation to other Biblical events.

The reader will at once notice an 'inconsistency' in the dating compared to currently held norms. The reason for this is that Bullinger adjusted for the Lo-Ammi periods.¹ 'Lo-Ammi' in the Hebrew means "not my people," the Lo-Ammi periods are a series of spans of time (10 of them) when Israel (all of Israel first and then Judah after Israel was scattered) was placed into the captivities because she transgressed against the Lord, and the Lord thus said that Israel is "not My people." The Lord was so angry at Israel (for idolatry) that He cast them aside and did not even 'remember' the years.

So Bullinger, adjusting for the Lo-Ammi periods, based his dating on what he called Anno Dei reckoning (in God's Time). For instance, common reckoning places the fall of Samaria and the taking into captivity of Israel (when Israel 'ends') at 721 b.c., but taking into account the Lo-Ammi periods, and using Anno Dei reckoning, this event occurred in 611 b.c..

In Ap 91 of the Companion Bible, the perfection of this dating (and God's prophecies) is beautifully illustrated. For in that appendix, it shows the times of Daniels '70 weeks prophecy', and how they perfectly align, to the exact year, i.e.,

The prophecy gives 70 sevens:

the seven sevens (49 years) start at 454 b.c. (Anno Dei reckoning) and end at 405 b.c..

From the end of the seven sevens, (in 405 b.c.) the threescore and two sevens (62 sevens) is 434 years which end at the exact year of a.d. 29, that is the identical year that MESSIAH was 'cut off' (crucified), just as the prophecy stated five centuries prior, that He would be cut off at that time.

Thus, once again, we see that God's Word, and His words, are perfect! Without factoring-in the Lo-Ammi periods, when Israel was "not my people," the prophecy does not align. Thus, that the knowledge of the Lord's Lo-Ammi periods is of the utmost benefit to the deeper student of God's Word should be immediately realized, for all prophecy takes these several 110 years out of reckoning. See Ap 91 for a more thorough treatment. Also see footnote.¹
