God, the Master Architect, had a plan for Man before the world began. He provided the Savior before the foundation of the world (Matt. 25:34, Acts 15:18, Eph. 1:4, Rev. 13:8). Being a builder myself, I recognize the need of a plan (blueprint) for building. Using the King James translation of the Bible, I have copied God's specifications. I have engineered the progression of dates and events, unfolding the panorama of the entire Bible. Building upon the foundation of biblical dates, the plan of salvation has been brought into focus by means of the chronology of the Bible. I have used dates, datelines, graphs, diagrams, tabulations, calendars, pictures, maps, and comments to accomplish this feat. - Preface.
