Time frame on Passage Guide

MJ. Smith

In the passage guide, I would like to see some preset timelines with a marker as to where the passage fits:

1) a simple indication of under which of the seven covenants

2) an indication based on patriarch, judge, prophet, king i.e. major people

3) against a Bible timeline ... with notation as to where the dates become reliable historically

4) against the world at large

5) I know I've seen an arch of event from some evangelical Bible study book ... can't remember which but

My personal interest is in the relative position of events not actual years but I'm sure many want years.

Grumble, Grumble... 7 Covanants?  Huh?  This Lutheran doesn't really understand.

In many respects I think that if God had wanted us to have a chronological bible, he would have given us one.  The canon isn't organized that way.

On the other hand, I remember how at a breakfast bible study, how meaningful Isaiah 9 some people found when I told of how it fit in with the Assyrian invasion going on at the time.  Some kind of this information would be a logical extension to Bib People Places and Things.
