Timeline of Bible History compilation

[erykjj]

I am looking for volunteers to add scriptural references to events that haven't got them yet, and others to verify these refences.

[erykjj]

Here are the sets of events:
events.1.xlsx - taken
events.2.xlsx - taken
events.3.xlsx - taken
events.4.xlsx - taken

If you desire to participate, please indicate in a comment which set you take on.

Just add the scripture reference after the tab at the end of each line. Keep it as specific as possible: the precise verse(s) instead of a whole account.

If there are no biblical references to the event, put N/A or something to that effect.

And, of course, reupload in this thread as soon as you finish.

Thank you in advance!

[erykjj]

Cleaned up the thread a bit as the deleted comments don't apply to the Excel format now posted above.

Not sure if this could be of any help?

Thank you, @Frankygishere

It's nice to see others taking an interest in Bible chronology :-)
It seems to be fairly reliable information (though I did find a couple of errors).

I guess I should clarify that it's not that I "need help" as such - I am simply giving other the opportunity to contribute to the project. Eventually, I will complete the missing references as part of my own research (and the above-mentioned source may ba a good starting point).

Hi! I'd like to help. Which sheet should I start with?

[erykjj]

Hi @jeremy-j-t ,

Thank you! You can pick any. No one has "officially" claimed anything yet. Just put in the comments here which one you are taking on.

[jeremy-j-t]

Great!
events.2.xlsx looks good
I'll be back in a few days 😀

[chessurisme]

Oh, also I am in events1.xlsx just please be patient to me. I forgot to tell you, Eryk, about this.

No rush. Thank you!

Hi @jeremy-j-t @chessurisme

How are you managing? Need a hand?

[chessurisme]

Oh really sorry for late reply, I have been replying this and when I see it again, my reply is gone... I am not sure why... But yeah about the stuff, I will send it to you this weekdays, I am out in ministry, so can't do this at the moment... Thanks for patience, dearly Eryk.

[chessurisme]

This coming weekdays... Rather

events.1.xlsx
Done!

[erykjj]

events.1.xlsx Done!

Excellent, my brother! Just had a quick look and... VERY GOOD :-)

[jeremy-j-t]

Hey guys! Still at it...so much for a few days, lol. Probably about a third deep.

[erykjj]

Hi @jeremy-j-t
Please don't stress too much over this :-)

Why don't you send me what you have done so far. Perhaps I'll get you to double-check some references for me instead. It's quicker as you only have to look up the scripture (and perhaps reduce it just to the key verse(s)).

[erykjj]

@chessurisme I just release v4 which includes your contributions ;-)

@jeremy-j-t I haven't forgotten you. I will add your results in a future update, so take your time :-)

[chessurisme]

@chessurisme I just release v4 which includes your contributions ;-)

Quite interesting!

Hey @jeremy-j-t ,

Making any headway? Why don't you send me what you have and we'll figure out how to do the rest ;-)

[jeremy-j-t]

Hey bro, good idea.

Sorry, I've been on the move for the last week and a half, and out of signal the last few days. Just had a look at what I had left and I realised I was basically done, most of the later events aren't mentioned.

Here's what I've got. Notice the highlighted rows...they are interesting.
Them and some others...I guess there isn't exactly a verse referring to the event, but the verse either provides some degree of time context or is prophetic, and I suppose would be of value in the timeline. See what you reckon.

@erykjj ...I'm github rookie... is there a way to send dm?

[erykjj]

@jeremy-j-t ,

Looks good. I will check out those events.

By dm, do you mean to contact me directly? No such private option available on Github unfortunately. But email me at infiniti @@@@@ inventati ..... org

[chessurisme]

Looks good to me.

Just missing these few... Can one of you have a go?

[chessurisme]

I'll have a go!

Hi Kyle,
Thank you, but this will take a bit more time, I'm afraid... Just a quick look, you are giving a reference for Darius the Mede, instead of Darius I Hystaspis (Persian). Please recheck, if you can ;-)

[chessurisme]

Oh okay, I overlook that. I'm sorry about this, Eric.

[erykjj]

OK, thanks to both of you!
It's done :-)

[erykjj]

Released v5.0 with all your contributions. Thank you!

Hello, I know this is closed now, but I would like to add something that I consider it is important...
What if besides the scriptural reference there is a column for publication that supports the date?

Years ago I started my own project and I have some references that could work for this project too. It could be only a link to a publication in wol.jw.org i.e.

Warm regards.
Fer

Hi @feriniguez

Thank you for your suggestion. I have thought about doing that, but...

1. I do want to keep the information to a minimum and
2. the JW Library app actually makes looking up additional information very easy: select the name of the person/place, "Topics", and generally you'll find an Insight book entry

[chessurisme]

Hooray! 👏🏼 Thanks, @erykjj.
