Charts


Often, a chart can be extremely helpful to give you a brief overview of a period of history or a genealogy or a doctrine.  The information is presented logically (in alphabetical order or chronological order), so that it is easy to find that piece of information that you are looking for.  You will find it helpful to print out some of these charts and keep them in your Bible (e.g., the Eschatology Vocabulary Chart, the OT and NT Summary Charts (print those without the links); the Prophet Chart; and the Brief History of Israel chart. .


  • Abrahamic Timeline  (HTML)  (PDF) Abraham's ages are given, according to the Bible, with the various incidents in his life.  Two very different sets of dates are also superimposed upon his life. 
  • Canonicity (New Testament) Chart (jpg 1)  (jpg 2)  (PDF).  This is to counter a dishonest graphic on the internet which claims that the New Testament canon was determined by one council at one time.  Determining which books belong in the Canon was a process which took place over a period of about 350 years.
  • Comparative Chronology Chart.  This is a comparison between the various chronologies for the period of the Judges.  HTML   PDF  
  • Davidic Timeline (HTML)  (PDF)  
  •  Doctrinal Terms and Concepts  (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD).  If you have been a believer for 5 years, then you ought to know most or all of these terms; or, at least the concepts behind them.
  • The Day of Atonement Chart.  This is an early chart of mine.  HTML   PDF  
  • Eschatological Vocabulary  (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD).  Eschatology is the doctrine of future things, and this lists the primary words used in eschatological teaching, along with a paragraph which describes these (mostly) future events in order.
  • Feastday Chart.  This is an excellent chart which covers all of the feastdays and their meaning.  HTML   PDF 
  • The Genealogy of Noah.  The HTML version is worthless.  There are also some problems with the PDF version.  At some point, I will go back and fix this.  PDF 
  • A Brief History of Israel (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)  This is a short, 3 page chart, giving the most basic history of ancient Israel.
  • A Brief History of Israel without links (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)   If you want to print this and keep it in your Bible.
  •  Isaac's Unusual Birth and How it Foreshadows the Birth of Our Lord    (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD
  • Jesus in the Old and New Testaments.  This is an excellent chart which breaks down groups of prophecies about Jesus Christ as found in parallel passages in the Law, in Job, in the Psalms, and in the Prophets.  These will be matched with parallel passages in the NT.  Almost every set of prophecies about our Lord can be found in any of the various groupings from the OT.  That is, we could simply look at the book of Job, and we would find a plethora of fulfilled prophecies about Jesus Christ from that book alone.  The same can be said of the Prophets, the Psalms or the Law. This is a fascinating set of parallels which I highly recommend.  HTML   PDF  
  •  Kings, Prophets and Priests  (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)  During the time of David, there are two lines of priests which are important to understanding some of what goes on in this time period.  There are also two problems (1) there is a man with the same name in both priestly lines and     (2) There is a grandfather and grandson with the same name.  It is not as confusing when it is all laid out, with appropriate color coding.  This chart covers the entire line of kings (of Judah), prophets and priests; but with careful attention paid to the priestly lines during the time of Saul, David and Solomon.
  • Messianic Prophesies.   HTML   PDF 
  • The Movement of the Ark and the Tabernacle of God.  If you are interested in the OT, this is an important chart which orients you to the movement of both the Ark of God and the Tabernacle of God.  HTML   PDF  
  •  New Testament Survey.  (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)  10 pages to give you a good, overall view of what is found in the New Testament.
  • New Testament Summary Chart without links for printing (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)
  • Old Testament Survey.  Roughly a million years ago, when I attended a Baptist church, they brought in a special speaker who gave, in about 45 minutes, and overview of the Old Testament.  As  new believer, this was an extremely important survey, and I kept the notes inside my main Bible even to this day.  I have expanded this survey and it now runs about 5 pages.  If requested, I will see if this can be reduced in size to fit into a Bible as an insert.  I do not recall the name of this guest speaker, so I am unable to credit him.  However, this document has been expanded greatly since those days. (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)
  • Old Testament Summary Chart without links for printing (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)
  •  The Prophet Chart (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)  Although this has links in it, the links are on page 2, so you can print only page 1 to keep in your Bible.
  •  Women of the Old Testament   (HTML)  (PDF)  (WPD)
