I have to say “ish” because there really is no way to know the exact order or timeline on some of these events. And my brain doesn’t like that. I like a story to flow nicely from beginning to end and the Gospel writers apparently did not think the same way. You can call it “eastern vs western” thinking, or “male vs female” thinking, or (what I finally landed on) God’s ways of thinking are higher than our ways. In fact, Isaiah tells us that in Isaiah 55:9.

Even though I can’t put this in the perfect order in which things happened, God does give us enough clues to firmly put some pieces in place. The debatable parts? Well, we can just agree to disagree or move those pieces around. I’m not settled on many and could still move things around with good evidence.

All of the Bible verse links are connected to the Tree of Life Version. I’ve come to really enjoy this particular version as it gives you many of the Hebrew names for things.

For now, enjoy the chart. If you have any thoughts or insights, leave a comment. You just may sway me to move something.
