The problem
Why the Bible can feel like 66 separate books.
Try it in your own Bible. One prophecy, one king, one child, and three different places to find them.
1
2The king is back in 2 Kings.
Who Ahaz was, and what was happening in his day, is in 2 Kings 16, with ten books in between.
3The child is a testament later.
Matthew 1:9 lists Ahaz in Jesus' family tree. Fourteen verses later, Matthew quotes Isaiah's exact words.
Your Bible's books are grouped by kind, not by time. History in one place, prophets in another, the Gospels a testament later. So if you've ever lost the thread, that was never you.

Why Adam's Chart
One page. Every king, prophet and empire, stacked.
In 1871, Sebastian C. Adams drew every kingdom as a colored stream and every reign as a bar as long as it lasted. Prophets sit right above the kings they preached to, and Jesus' family line runs underneath it all.
Tap a point on the chart
Bible and world history, side by side
Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome run right beside Israel and Judah.
21 panels, about 23 feet
Open one panel next to your Bible, or spread the whole timeline down a hallway.
The 1871 original
Adams' own streams, lifespan bars and lettering, reproduced in full color.
Follow the line from the prophecy to the child it promised.
Sound familiar?
Whatever brought you here, we've heard it.
The faithful re-reader
You've read it through more than once. You know the stories. You still can't see how they fit together.
The one stuck in Kings
A year-long reading plan, and you've been stuck in 2 Kings for months. Then Chronicles feels like déjà vu.
The homeschool parent
You want your kids to see how history connects, not just memorize names and dates.
The Bible study regular
Someone says “that points to Jesus.” You nod along and hope nobody asks you how.

How it compares
Great tools. One missing piece.
Reading plans, study Bibles and timeline apps are great at what they do. Here's what only a stacked timeline does.
| Adam's Chart | Reading plan | Study Bible | Timeline app | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shows who lived at the same time | In notes, here and there | A sliver at a time | ||
| Prophets above the kings they preached to | ||||
| Jesus' family line, king by king | As a list | Rarely | ||
| Bible and world history side by side | Some notes | Some | ||
| Verse-by-verse commentary | Pair it with yours | Some | ||
| The big picture | At a glance | Over a full year | A page at a time | On a small screen |

“THIS is what I've been looking for. I NEED a timeline.”
A comment under a video of this chart, liked 21,000 times
Saw this at a homeschool convention and had to order one immediately. You can follow the line of kings, prophets and empires all at once.
I'm a visual learner and this chart is perfect for me. My kids can spend hours tracing different empires across the panels.
Great for all ages. My 8-year-old and my grandmother both love it.

Questions, answered.
Is it a book or a fold-out chart?
Both. 21 panels fold out to about 23 feet, then fold back into a cloth hardcover that sits on a shelf like a book.
Does it cover the whole Bible?
It runs from Adam and Eve through the patriarchs, judges, kings, prophets and exile to the life of Christ, with Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome alongside, then on through world history into the 1800s.
How do I use it with my Bible reading?
Open the panel for the period you're reading and lay it beside your Bible. Find your king or prophet, then look up and down to see who else was alive and what was happening.
Is it good for kids and homeschool?
Yes. Kids can point, compare and trace a line with a finger, which makes it easy to use at the kitchen table during history or Bible lessons.
Who is Bemerio?
An American-based Christian company. Everything we make is meant to help families see, hear and share God's Word, every day.
How accurate are the dates?
It's a faithful reproduction of Sebastian C. Adams' 1871 chart, so its dates reflect 19th-century scholarship, including the traditional chronology that begins at 4004 B.C. It works best as a big-picture map alongside a modern study Bible.
How big is it?
Closed, it's a hardcover book. Open, it stretches about 23 feet. You never need to open all of it to use it: one or two panels at a time is plenty.
How fast does it ship?
In-stock orders ship within 24 hours, and shipping is free on orders of $60 or more.
