Do you know that the views herein set forth are evidenced by nearly a thousand scripture citations? — and should we NOT give a “thus saith the Lord” for all we believe and teach?

Are you aware that he or she who denies or denounces the sayings of this little booklet is not denouncing the compiler, but the word of God? — for is not every line substantiated by scriptural quotations and references?

Do you wish to be able to “rightly divide the word of truth” and to “give a reason for the hope that is in you”? If so, read the “MILLENNIAL DAWN” series, of six volumes.

Do you know that free reading matter on any or all of the subjects herewithin discussed, will be sent upon request by the compiler of this booklet,

EXPLANATION OF CHRONOLOGICAL CHART.

A Chronological Chart of the Bible, based on Usher’s Chronology, as found in the margins of S. S. Teachers’ Bibles, Special Edition of A.D., 1902.

The arranging of the Books in their Chronological Order differs from the order found in the “Authorized Version,” as will be noticed at a glance. The arrangement on the Chart has reference to the beginning dates of the Books, except in First and Second Chronicles (or the “Omitted Things”) which are so placed as to supplement all the Books written prior to the closing dates of Chronicles.

The perpendicular lines in the body of the Chart, when taken in conjunction with the figures at the top and bottom, represent so many Centuries, B.C., A.D., and A.M.

The figures on the left of the Chart indicate the opening dates of the Books, those on the right the closing dates, while those to the right of, and adjacent to, the Diagramatic feature of the Chart, suggest the years intervening.

The Diagram in the body of the Chart, when taken in connection with the figures at the top and bottom, suggests to the eye, at once, the relative length, as well as, the particular part of the “Stream of time” occupied by the various books, also indicating that parts of many of the Books were contemporaneous.

Observe that the writings of the Old Testament came to us during Thirty Seven or more Centuries while the New Testament was given us in One Century.

Observe from the Diagram and figures adjacent thereto the shortness of the time occupied by some of the prophets, also the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy; nearly all of the Book of Exodus from the beginning of the third chapter on, as well as, the Book of Ruth, from the 6th verse of first chapter on, occurred within one year.

Bible Students conversant with Studies in the Scriptures, Volume 2, Chapter 2, will understand the necessity of adding 124 years to the Genesis and First Chronicle accounts, as well as to all the A.M. Century dates of the Chart, in order to have them conform to the TEXT of the Bible.
