Biblical chronology

Okay kiddo, have you ever put together a timeline for a project at school? Biblical chronology is like making a timeline of all the events that happened in the Bible, from the beginning of creation to the end of the world.

You know how your baby pictures are at the beginning of your timeline and your current pictures are at the end? It's like that with the Bible too. The first event that happened was when God made the world and the last event will be when Jesus comes back to Earth again.

But, there are many events that happened in between those two events. Just like you might make milestones on your timeline, like when you learned to walk or started school, the Bible has important milestones too. Some examples include when God made people, when Jesus was born, and when Jesus rose from the dead.

Biblical chronology is when people study these events and try to figure out the order they happened in and how long ago they happened. They use things like calendars, historical documents and writings, and time measurements. It's like putting together a puzzle to figure out exactly when things happened.

Some people might put the events in a different order or have different opinions, but that's okay. The important thing to remember is that biblical chronology helps us understand how the Bible stories fit together and reminds us of the important things that happened in the history of the world.
