What years are covered in the Bible? think it ranges from BC to AD.

Does anyone know what year exactly is stops at?

I think it stopped the year I was born

She's here

No need to go on! Jk

No one knows exactly. The old testament goes back, obviously, thousands of years. The new testament covers the writings which were made after the death of Christ. Maybe 80 AD or so.

yyyaaaaayyyyy

No in all seriousness, had a conversation today and we touched on this topic, does anyone truly know what years are covered in the bible?

thanks - any advice on how I would/could research this?

assuming we arent including prophesy Id say about 70 ad. There are alot of sites out there just google bible time line.

The bible doesnt have any information about the future. Those people that wrote that stuff could not concieve of the world we live in now. They would have no frame of reference to understand anything.

There are some bible prophesies that describe modern technology in simple terms as well as they can understand what they saw. I dont really want to dig into it though... so lets agree to disagree

I don't know how they could even "see" something like that, but I get what you are saying my friend and we can agree to disagree about that

I don't find what I am ultimately looking for.

For arguments sake let's say the ending of the biblical time line is 80AD - who or what group recorded the happenings since then?

-0BC - 80AD - biblical time line

what happened in 81AD? who recorded it? how was it recorded?

No one recorded it. At least not in the books that later became the bible.There were historians around back then just as there are historians nowadays that kept records of things.

That's what I am looking for, a historian (any historian to start research) that has documented events (does not have to be biblical/religious) per se., but what book immediately follows the events noted in the bible? How far back can I go back? {{{{{mirror}}}}}

...i'm waiting for the next volume..or movie whichever comes out first..have you seen the price of movie popcorn these days...

be nice, you can get popcorn at 1/2 price at the matinee
I prefer books over movies.

does it really matter? the world is going to end any anyways.

You would have to study the actual history of the era. Since much the events in the NT took place in what we refer to as the middle east, try doing a search for middle east history 80AD. I would think that would be a good place to start.

Just about any general history book or website unless you want to read copius amounts of Latin

(1)Yes it does matter,knowledge always matters and (2)do you have any evidence of that?

81 A.D.: political events
The Roman emperor Titus dies September 13 at age 40 after a 2-year reign in which he has pleased the people with games at the Flavian Amphitheater but incurred some public wrath by keeping as his mistress Berenice, the sister of Herod Agrippa II. (Romans remember Julius Caesar's Egyptian mistress Cleopatra and are suspicious of eastern women.) Titus is succeeded by his brother Titus Flavius Domitianus, 29, who will reign until 96 as the emperor Domitian.

81 A.D.: commerce
The silver content of the Roman denarius will rise in the reign of Domitian to 92 percent, up from 81 percent in the reign of Vitellius.

81 A.D.: architecture, real estate
A second Arch of Titus is raised at Rome by the new emperor Domitian, with bas-reliefs that commemorate the military triumphs of the late Titus and Vespasian.

83 A.D.: political events
Roman forces under Gnaeus Julius Agricola in Britain defeat the Caledonians (Picts) and reach the northernmost point that they will attain in what later will be called the British Isles (possibly near what later will be Aberdeen, Scotland) (see 77 A.D.; 84 A.D.).

84 A.D.: political events
The Roman emperor Domitian recalls Gnaeus Julius Agricola from what later will be called the British Isles to help repel barbarian invaders near the Rhine and the Danube.

84 A.D.: religion
The Gospel according to John and the Gospel according to Matthew are transcribed. Matthew has written his at Antioch, saying, "In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you," a positive assertion of the Golden Rule asserted in the negative by Confucius in his Analects (see 495 B.C.) and in Greek and Hebrew writings of the last century.

88 A.D.: political events
China's Eastern Han dynasty emperor Jangdi (Chang-ti) dies at age 31 after a 12-year reign in which Chinese military forces have become powerful enough to march against tribes who threaten their northern and western borders. Having used intrigue as well as armed might to achieve his ends, Jangdi and his general Pan Chao have reestablished Chinese influence in Inner Asia, but court eunuchs have increased their power during Jangdi's reign. The emperor is succeeded by his infant son Zhao, who will reign until 105 as the emperor Hedi (Ho-ti), but he will be a virtual pawn of the scheming courtiers who will effectively rule the country.

90 A.D.: political events
Parthia's Artabanus III dies after a 10-year period in which he has challenged the suzerainty of Pakoros II, who will continue his reign until 105.

90 A.D.: transportation
The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea (Sailing Round the Indian Ocean) by a Greek sea captain gives instructions on how to use the monsoon winds to advantage (see Hippalus, 40).

Roman ships break the Arab monopoly in the spice trade. The ships are large enough to sail without difficulty from Egyptian Red Sea ports to India, but while spices become more plentiful, they drain Rome of her gold reserves.

90 A.D.: religion
Use of spices is one of the excesses that will bring about the fall of Rome, says the Christian prophet John of Ephesus in his Revelations (18:11-13). John writes metaphorically of Babylon, but he means Rome.

90 A.D.: literature
The Roman epic poet Gaius Valerius Flaccus dies (year approximate), having written works that include the Argonautica, describing the voyage of the mythical Jason to Colchis in his ship the Argo to bring the Golden Fleece back to Thessaly (he has borrowed much of the story from the Alexandrian poet Apollonius Rhodius of about 200 B.C.) (see 1417 A.D.).

95 A.D.: political events
The Roman emperor Domitian has many senators executed out of paranoiac fears that they are plotting to kill him.

95 A.D.: medicine
A severe form of malaria appears in the farm districts outside Rome and will continue for the next 500 years, taking out of cultivation the fertile land of the Campagna, whose market gardens supply the city with fresh produce. The fever drives small farmers into the crowded city, they bring the malaria with them, and it lowers Rome's live-birth rate while rates elsewhere in the empire are rising.

95 A.D.: environment
At least 10 aqueducts supply Rome with 250 million gallons of water per day, some 50 gallons per person, even after the public baths have used half the supply.

95 A.D.: agriculture
Iron plows with wheels help some of Rome's barbarian neighbors to control the depth of plowing (and save the plowmen's energies). The barbarians use coulters to cut the soil and moldboards to turn it over. While Roman farmers practice cross-plowing, the barbarians plow deep, regular furrows that will lead to the cultivation of long strips of land rather than square blocks.

96 A.D.: political events
The emperor Domitian is stabbed to death by a freedman at Rome September 18 at age 44 after a 15-year reign in which he has shown himself a competent administrator but has antagonized some members of the governing class by his tyranny. The empress Domitia and officers of the court have conspired against Domitian out of fear that they may be next on his list of people to be executed or exiled, the praetorian guard mutinies and lynches Domitian's assassin, and the emperor is succeeded by the former Roman consul Marcus Cocceius Nerva, 60. The new emperor recalls citizens exiled by Domitian, restoring to them what remains of their confiscated property.

97 A.D.: political events
The Roman emperor Nerva recalls his general Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, 44, from the Rhine and formally adopts him in October at ceremonies in the temple of Jupiter on the Capitol.

98 A.D.: political events
The Roman emperor Nerva dies suddenly January 25 at age 63 after a 16-month reign. He is succeeded by his adopted son, who will reign until 117 as the emperor Trajan. Born into an Italian family that had settled in Rome's Spanish provinces, Trajan is the first emperor not native to Rome, and his wife, Pompeia Plotina, is from Gaul.

98 A.D.: commerce
The silver content of the Roman denarius will rise to 93 percent under the emperor Trajan, up from 92 percent under Domitian.
