1 hour in total and now I’m at genesis 1. But the insight on the making of NLT the overview of Bible and then a visual timeline of biblical timeline simultaneously seeing world timeline is so valuable and interesting. Take the extra hour and get the foundation

In time line of biblical and world view side by side. Daniel & Confucius same time frame. Esther & Socrates same era. Alexander the Great was in the 400 years of silence. Jonah was time of first Olympics. Stonehenge build around Jacob & Esau. Metal working in South America born when 10 commandments given.
Mary is born around time Japan invents sumo wrestling. Paul is born around time Jesus visited temple at 12.

37 minutes. Reading the Chronological Survey of the Bible (a -a36) is a very good complete sky view of the entire Bible. Mentioning so many highlights even forgotten . Reading from cover to a36 did take me 37 minutes but it is so impactful. It will reveal things and highlight that many people who have read Bible cover to cover to enlightened to as it is in modern language and a very condensed version.

I appreciate that it’s a young earth version, and it’s crazy to think of the age of Noah . He was 600 years old when the water decided from the flood.
I appreciate how it gets to acknowledge the flood was 40 days & night but it flooded earth for 150 days. For nearly half a year the earth was flooded. It is a bummer they don’t talk about the birds and doves searching for dry land.
It does go into the covenant

Pg 19 if you see a genuine happy face for only 1/2 a second your mood lifts!
Same is also true for a sad face, it brings you down.

A half second can change your mood, that’s how people can see through fakeness. It doesn’t take a long time but a mere 1/2 second. People can see what you’re hiding so be true to yourself and play to your strengths. Also focus on the positive to help brighten ur day
