Bible Chart – From Creation to an Earth Made New

“He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’ Then He said, ‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’” – Revelation 21:5.

These charts outline events from Creation to the New Earth, showing how God is methodically and faithfully executing a very wonderful plan. I realize that some of you may not like charts that provide so many details, but I cannot think of a better way to show the intricate relationships that exist between so many prophetic elements. Charts can bring a certain amount of definition and perspective to topics that would otherwise remain ethereal or abstract. When several events are occurring at the same time, a schematic drawing has no equal.

The Progression of Events and Time

Carefully review the chart titled, From Creation to Re-Creation. Follow the road and notice the order of events in history and that God has revealed in Bible prophecy. When properly understood, the books of Daniel and Revelation produce a traceable progression of events that moves us toward the day when God will re-create Earth. Furthermore, notice how genealogy, the Jubilee Calendar, and the prophetic time periods given in Daniel and Revelation also move us toward the re-creation of Earth. It is interesting that God separately uses events and timing to convey the same message.

When I view the night sky full of stars and planets, I find myself overwhelmed when I realize how God keeps a vigil over this tiny speck called Earth. As demonstrated in these studies, God has not forgotten this planet.

The Grand Week and the Seventh Millennium

Here are a few thoughts as you contemplate The Grand Week chart. When God created Adam and Eve, He placed them in the Garden of Eden. There is an incredible beauty and significance of God preparing a garden for the couple’s home which naturally produced everything they needed, a place that flowed with “milk and honey.” At Creation, God actually placed Adam and Eve in “His rest.” They did not have to work the ground to survive, as the garden naturally produced everything they could want.

When Adam and Eve sinned, all this abruptly changed. God drove them from the Garden and the ground was cursed. After sin, God elevated His Sabbath rest to a higher level of significance. Prior to Adam’s sin, God’s Sabbath was a day to rest from creating and studying and was a day for spiritual renewal and fellowship with the Creator. After sin began, God expanded His Sabbath rest in two ways; first, it became a day of release from the painful toil of having to work the ground to survive.
