Bible Chronology.

After the great flood, all peoples of the earth were descended from Noah, through his three sons and their wives. The distinction of God calling all people to himself through one family began with Abram, as God told him, “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” (Ge 22:18 AV) The line of Christ provides the pathway through scripture physically and spiritually.
