1. Creation – The Beginning
In the beginning, God was there
Crafting the heavens and earth from thin air.
Firmament, sun, moon, and stars, plants and trees,
Birds, fish, and animals, Adam and Eve.
In His own image He created man,
And because of their fall He concocted a plan
To rescue mankind by His infinite love:
Purchase salvation through the blood of his Son.
2. The Sumerians – 2300 B.C.

With 300 rules to help men get along.
5. The Exodus – 1491 B.C.
God’s chosen people, the Hebrews, had lived
In Egypt as slaves, for 400 years.
So God raised up Moses, an exile, to lead them
Ten awful plagues later, Pharoah granted their freedom.
Then into the desert, the Israelites fled,
But the king changed his mind and pursued them instead.
With a sea up ahead and Pharoah’s army behind,
The Hebrews were in an impossible bind.
But then God miraculously parted the sea,
And showed his great power in 1491 B.C.
6. King Tut – 1333 B.C.

And was laid in a tomb with great wealth at his side.

8. Israel Divides - 975 B.C.
After King Solomon, David’s son, died,
The kingdom of Israel was forced to divide.

In the very sad year of B.C. 9-7-5.
9. Homer - 800 B.C.
Sometime around 800 B.C.,

10. Israel Falls to Assyria - 721 B.C.
In the fateful year of 721 B.C.,
The strong and powerful Assyrian army
Was sent by God to punish the sin
Of the Northen Kingdom who had strayed far from Him.
King Sargon deported the people and then
Invited some others to quickly move in.
11. Babylonian Captivity - 605, 599, 588 B.C.
Because of the people of Judah’s great sin,

In China, around B.C. 547,
Confucius began teaching about things such as heaven
And how to live moral and upstanding lives,
To be kind to others, and how to be wise.
My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding—
3 indeed, if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
