BIBLE TIMELINE CHART AND CALCULATION
This biblical time line will start from the beginning of creation of the physical worlds, Earth, Mars Jupiter etc. There is no doubt that the Spiritual world has been in existence for infinity.
It will be using the work of an Israelite Historian called Flavius Josephus who lived between 37 AD to 100 AD from the book “The works of Josephus, Translated by William Whiston.
FROM CREATION TO TODAY
1- From the creation of Adam till the flood of Noah, 1556
2- From the flood till the birth of Abraham, 892
3- From the birth of Abraham till his departure out of Haran, 75
4- From the departure out of Haran till the Exodus from Egypt, 430
