Timeline

With this table, my desire is to show the relative chronology of events, biblical, historical, and future.  Exact dates, for the most part, aren't possible since so many assumptions need to be made because of missing details or inexact wording of scripture.  Even the starting date of creation in the first year can be stated as year 0 or 1, depending upon nothing other than our preference, since scripture doesn't dictate the use of either.

Dates	Event
	Genesis 1-2 describes how God gave Adam dominion over the earth and put him in a garden to tend it.
	Genesis 3 records Adam's disobedience, exile from paradise, and God's promise of a future redemer (vs 15).
1656 AM	Gen 6-9 records how Noah and his family are saved from the flood because of Noah's obedience.  The promised redeemer would be a descendent of Noah (Gen 9:9).

	The gospels record the events of the promised redeemer's first appearance and ministry
	Pentecost began the age of grace

	The destruction of Damascus will happen some time in the future, but there are no clues as to when.  It is possible that it happens before the end of the age of Grace, and equally as possible that it will happen after.
	A final Arab-Israeli war may occur sometime in the future, but if it will, there are no clues as to when.  It is possible that it happens before the end of the age of Grace, and equally as possible that it will happen after.
	The first Gog/Magog war is a pivotal event marking Israel's spiritual awaking.   Because it is such a pivotal point in our future, it is likely that it happens just before the end of the age of Grace or just after.
	The Gathering closes out the age of grace and ushers in the time of Jacob's trouble, known as the Great Tribulation
