Hello, everyone. I've been studying the Biblical timeline in recent months. I find that within every 2,000 year period, seven periods seem to emerge. Determining the timing is not really difficult because there are time markers in the form of genealogies. Sometimes the Bible gives exact timing like the flood happened when Noah was 600 years old. Or Solomon began to build the First Temple 480 years after the Israelites came out of Egypt (1 Kings 6:1).
Let me know your thoughts on this. Please feel free to comment, pick apart, or suggest more insights as the Good Word says, iron sharpens iron.
Adam to Abraham (2,000 Years)
1. Eden - x years
2. Time of Cain - about 235 years (not 100% sure if Cain's timeline overlaps with the below revival, but Gen. 4 seems to indicate otherwise. There were 6 generations that came after Cain, and the last one was the generation of Jabal, Jubal, and Tubal-cain who introduced farming [tents and livestock], arts [lyre and pipe], and technology [instruments of bronze and iron]. It is interesting that the Bible mentions a separate line of descendants for Cain and Seth.)
3. Revival from Enosh to Enoch - about 450 years (not sure if you can call it a revival, but Gen. 4:26 says it was around this time that people began to call upon the name of Yahweh)
4. Enoch's walk with God - 300 years
5. Violence, moral corrupton, and the time of the Nephilim - around 650 years
6. The Great Flood - 1 year (technically 40 days and 40 nights but it took 1 year for the land to dry up)
7. Repopulation of the earth, the first appearance of Babel, Terah to Abraham - around 360 years
Abraham to First Coming of the Lord Jesus (2,000 Years)
1. The Time of the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob)
2. Soujourn in Egypt
3. 40 years in the wilderness
4. Period of the Judges
5. Period of the Kings
6. Times of the Gentiles
7. The 7-Year Tribulation
First Coming to the Rapture (2,000 years)
