Navigation Tips
This is a Bible Roadmap. It helps you find your way through the old and new testaments simply by clicking on boxes and arrows. Each time you click on a box, it takes you to a new map that encompasses just that scope. The arrows are used to move back up a level or to go left and right at the same level.
Here is some additional information on how to navigate through this website:
- Click on a Box
- Click on an Arrow
- Left Sidebar - Search for something
- Menu - Genealogies and Charts
- Site Map
- Hierarchy Numbers at bottom
Click on a Box
This website shows a decomposition, or break-down, of the Bible, based upon time. It starts with a diagram, The Bible, showing the 3 major events as:
- Creation,
- Life on Earth, and
- Tribulation, Armageddon, and the Millennium
If you click on any of the three boxes on that diagram,you go to another diagram which shows that time frame broken down one step further. For example, if you click on Life on Earth, you will see 4 boxes on that diagram
- Origins of Man
- Righteousness and The Law
- Jesus Here on Earth
- Church Age
As you keep clicking on the boxes, you go deeper and deeper into the hierarchy of people, places, and events. Each new diagram gives more details which correspond to the box that you clicked to get there.
To see the entire hierarchy of web pages within the website, view the site map.

Click on an Arrow
On each diagram, there are 3 arrows which assist in navigation.
This will take you to the previous diagram at the same level. 
This will take you to the next diagram at the same level.
This will take you up one level to the parent of the current diagram.
The arrows will appear only on diagrams which have an applicable diagram for you to navigate to.
For example, you don't see any of the three arrows on the top diagram (The Bible) because there is nowhere else to navigate to, except for down.
For example, If you are looking at the scripture page for the first day of creation (Day 1 - Light), you won't see a previous arrow because this is the first page at that level.
For example, If you are looking at the scripture page for the seventh day of creation (Day 7 - Rest), you won't see a next arrow because this is the last page at that level.
"At the same level" is intended to indicate where diagrams or scriptures would flow from one to another
For example, if you were at the first day of creation (scripture page), you would be able to click the Next Arrow and continue reading all seven days of creation.
"At the same level" is also somewhat intuitive because at the lower levels, the content will all be related to some event or person.
For example, if you were at the building of the ark (scripture page), you would be able to click the Next Arrow and continue reading all about loading the ark, the flood waters, the waters receding, etc.
You will find that the numbering scheme will help you identify if there are other diagrams at the same level or not.
The same level means that the diagram numbers will all be the same except for the very last part of the number.
For example, [2.1.3.1 Building the Ark] would be at the same level as [2.1.3.2 Loading the Ark] and [2.1.2.3 Flood Waters] and so on.
The up arrow takes you up one level, back to the diagram which included boxes for each of the diagrams at your current level
