Getting Started: Okay, to be honest assembling
your Bible timeline is going to be a little bit of
work....all good things are. However as you go, keep
in mind that you are creating a lasting resource for
your children, something they can return to year
after year to build upon their knowledge. Creating a
timeline can turn into an amazing family project, one
that you will cherish as a keepsake of the years you
have spent home with your children

Printing Tips

Here are some tips for printing out your Bible Timeline.

• Print your Cover Sheet on Decorative Paper. We used an extra piece of

scrapbooking paper cut to size.
• Print your Blank Timeline Pages Double-sided on Cardstock. For our set
you'll need about 18 pages printed both sides.
• Print your Timeline Cards on Cardstock. You may need to use a stronger
glue like rubber cement. We used gluestick, but for longevity you might
want something stronger.

Binding Tips

Here are some tips for binding your Bible

Timeline.

• This is the binding machine we own and

love! If you don't have a binding machine at home, you can take your
printed files to your local office supply store for binding. Additionally you
can use a three ring notebook and punch holes across the top of your
pages.
• If you have access to a binding machine, you want to bind your timeline on
the left side of your pages. Center your pages in your machine before
punching the holes. Cut your binding comb to the correct length.

Dating Tips

Here are some tips for Dating your Bible Timeline

• Because we're covering a span of time from 5000 BC to 30AD there are
endless possibilities for dating and organizing your timeline.
• Additionally, we've focused on key points in history such as Creation, and
Holy Week to take an in depth look at what God was doing during that
time.

 • There may be times when each page in your
timeline stands for 250 years, or even just
the next day in History. Because of this we've
left writing space on each Timeline Card for
specific dating.
• We've done our best to order our Timeline
Cards chronologically, but we realize that
there are ongoing discussions as to what happened when. For this reason
we've left our Timeline Cards without a date, so that you can fill them in
with your own dating and facts below the image.
• Furthermore, we may have left out some key dates and times in world
history that you would like to add to your own timeline. We provide a blank
template for your personal use here, simply add your own images and print
what you need. The free font is called Walkway Ultrabold.
• Another benefit to home binding or the three ring binding method is that
you can easily add or remove pages as needed.
• Write your prospective dates in pencil first then confirm in pen when
decided.
• Layout your figures for each page to be sure they fit before you glue!
We used a simple glue stick, however rubber cement might provide a longer
lasting bond.

What We Did

Here is how we personally dated our Bible Timeline. If you are a visual learner you

page either in the middle or on either side of the page.

-------5000 BC-------- 800 BC--------750 BC

-------4000 BC-------- 750 BC--------700BC

-------3000 BC-------- 700 BC-------- 600 BC

-------2500 BC-------- 600 BC--------550 BC

-------2100 BC--------- 550 BC--------500 BC

-------2000 BC-------- 500 BC--------450 BC

2000BC-------1500 BC 450 BC--------300 BC

1500 BC---------------- 300 BC--------200 BC

--------1400 BC-------- 200 BC--------100 BC

--------1300BC--------- 100 BC---------50 BC

--------1200BC--------- 50 BC--------------0

--------1100 BC--------- The Ministry of Jesus

1000BC--------900 BC

We then arranged the events of Jesus' life, teachings and ministry in order
across the top then bottom of each page. The Timeline Cards are provided in
chronological order as understood in the combined teachings of the Gospels.
