TOPIC: A TIME
SCALE FROM ADAM TO CHRIST
On the following page is a table listing taken from
the Record of God of some of the generations of Jesus, starting from Adam. This table is used to calculate the
approximate time that has passed since the time of Adam and help make one aware
that today's era is the time of His return that He spoke of in Matthew 24, Mark
13, etc.
The generations are taken from Luke 3:23-38 (Mary's lineage), Matthew 1 (Joseph's
lineage---because in verse 16 it says definitively he was begat by Jacob, whereas
in Luke 3:23 where it is said Joseph is the son of Heli probably as in
son-in-law, not begotten) and various chapters in Genesis.
The names are spelled differently in the Old Testament
as opposed to the New.
Of course, most things (times and dates, for example)
are hidden from us. We know this because
we don't know definitively how many years have passed. But we do know approximately because of the
information that WAS given, and that information was given on purpose for those
who have Faith to gain some understanding.
