A good estimate of man's history on this planet can be ascertained via population studies and key markers which archeology has provided us. Keep in mind that these are my assumptions as of today and my goal is merely to give us a GENERAL timeline (overview) of events since Yahweh created Adam (our first parent). This timeline will change as new knowledge develops. But I find all this very interesting to use as core data:
1. Adam - was created (say) 4,000 B.C. (assuming Gregorian calendar).
2. Noah - experienced the global flood around 2,400 B.C.
3. Nimrod - built the Tower of Babel around 2,200 B.C.
4. Abraham - called by Yahweh God around 1,800 B.C.
5. Moses - called by Yahweh God to bring Israelites into Promised land around 1,400 B.C.
6. David - King David ruled for 40 years, then his son, Solomon, built the first Temple around 1,000 B.C.
7. Daniel - this prophet lived and prophesied from around 600 B.C. The 2nd Temple built around 500 B.C.
8. Yeshua - was born and lived on our planet from around 1 A.D. (all dates are rounded and approximated).
9. Paul of Tarsus - this evangelist started and then finished his missionary journey around 62 A.D. 2nd Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.
9. John of Revelation - this evangelist lived and wrote his vision (Patmos) from around 100 A.D.
10. King Constantine - ruled and helped to initiate Christianity from around 325 A.D.
11. King George III of England - started his rebellion which led to America around 1776 A.D.
12. Donald (me) - I was born in 1943 and continue to live as of 2022 A.D.
Now let's do a general overview of world population since the creation of Adam (assumptions are mine):
1. Adam - population data starts at creation with 1.
2. Noah (before flood) - population had increased to 1 billion +- (no solid data is possible).
3. Noah (after flood) - population re-starts with 8. Noah (wife), 3 sons, 3 wives.
4. Nimrod - population had increased to millions by 2,200 B.C. (no firm documentation available).
5. Yeshua (1 A.D.) - population is estimated to be around 200 million (globally).
6. Martin Luther (1500 A.D.) - population had increased to around 500 million (globally).
7. Thomas Jefferson (1800 A.D.) - population had increased to 1 billion (globally).
8. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1935) - population had increased to 2 billion (globally).
9. Ronald Reagan (1989) - population had increased to 5 billion (globally).
10. Joe Biden (2022) - population has increased to 8 billion (globally).
Let's summarize our timeline of population growth since the Great Flood:
1. We start with 8 (say 2,400 B.C.)
2. At time of Yeshua (say 1 A.D.) we can document some 200,000,000.
3. At time of Luther (say 1500 A.D.) we can document some 500,000,000.
4. At time of Jefferson (say 1800 A.D.) we can document some 1,000,000,000.
5. At time of my birth (1943) we can document some 2,400,000,000.
6. At time of Reagan (say 1989 A.D.) we can document some 5,000,000,000.
7. At time of Biden (say 2022 A.D.) we can document some 8,000,000,000.
Conclusions:
Keep in mind that the population timeline does indicate a time period for human evolution of some 6,000 years (give or take). This does not mean, however, that our planet and the outer universe is similar. It is possible that our physical universe could have been created by Yahweh God much prior to creation of Adam (our first person). It is also possible that both happened around the same time period. And it is also possible that the physical universe has existed forever. From God's point-of-view there is NO TIME (all is timeless)!
Keep in mind that this concept called TIME (is imaginary). Time is a human invention and this means 'time' does not technically EXIST (as an 'independent' thing). Time is merely man's invention to give order to events which happen during our evolution. My sense is that TIME was invented as people experienced their agriculture events. Seasons were experienced and this allowed for the invention of TIME. It reality, there is NO real time. We all live in the NOW (continually/always).
My message is that human evolution is only some 6,000 years (give or take). All started anew after the Great Flood and our population grew over time to our current number of 8 billion. Imagine that 8 people (after the Flood) produced ALL the current 8 billion. Amazing. Prior to the Great Flood the information (data) is very uncertain. From Adam to Noah could have produced millions or possibly more that a billion (no one knows except Yahweh God). All is amazing. Man is now at the END point of his rule. This seems certain (to me)!
History is based upon ASSUMPTIONS. Pundits will differ as human ASSUMPTIONS vary from expert to expert. My viewpoint is based on the idea that Yahweh God created our first parents. Then population increased over time. Today, we all live on the same planet which Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Yeshua lived. The planet provides evidence as the ROCKS do not disappear. Archeology is giving us evidence of all the above events (the Great Flood, Nimrod's Tower of Babel, David's Temple, King Solomon, and Yeshua's ordeal in Jerusalem. Evidence is pointing to the scenario above (as being real)!
It's all amazing and beyond anyone's KNOWING totally, however. All I can do is present my viewpoint and my logic. You may differ and this is logical. NO ONE knows the details fully. We all operate with ASSUMPTIONS. My timeline is meant to provoke your thinking and help you discern reality better. Enjoy! Have a great day! I am: donaldswenson.blogspot.com.
