The Timeline: Some Key Events in Our History and Future document provides a high-level visual overview of major biblical events, stretching from the call of Abraham through the anticipated new heaven and new earth. It places Old Testament milestones, the life and ministry of Jesus, the early church era, and future prophetic expectations on a single, easy-to-follow chart. Because it presents the entire biblical story at a glance, it helps you see how different periods relate to one another without overwhelming you with detail.

Because the reading plan moves quickly, the timeline gives you a reference point you can return to whenever you want to see the bigger picture.
In short, the timeline is not meant to be detailed or technical. It serves as a big-picture guide that helps you place your daily readings within the larger flow of biblical history, giving you context as you move from the Gospels to Acts to the epistles and finally to Revelation.
