Biblical Time Line Vs Secular Time Lines

Decent Essays
Just seeing how history fits together was extremely interesting because I had always looked at history as two time lines a biblical time line and a secular time line and I could never figure out just how they fit together. This includes how a lot of the genesis stories started in the fertile crescent of Mesopotamia and that that time is the same in both the Hebrew and secular time lines, for some reason I could never figure out of these “two” timelines fit together. For some reason today it seems like we separate these two although there only one part of the puzzle and understanding the time of the bible is almost as important as understanding the lessons within and you don’t get the whole story without it. Another example of this is how the

    History has always been a big part of my life. I remember in first grade pouring all of my affections onto the historical fiction American girl doll books in the elementary school library and imagining myself as a Swedish immigrant in 1854, or as a young patriot in 1774. During second and third grade I devoted my free time to reading about the Civil War and the Spanish explorers that conquested through my native Florida. In fourth grade I remember leaping through a native american pottery exhibit on a field trip to Tallahassee, desperately trying to obtain all of the knowledge the signs held before being dragged away by my classmates and chaperone. On a fifth grade field trip I was left behind at an exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center because I was too engrossed in the history of rhesus monkeys being shot into space to notice that my entire class had moved on to the I-Max theater.…

    I still remember when I was seven years old and how my grandpa would come visit my grandma once or twice a week. I would be so happy to see him because he would always call me over and sit me down next to him so that we could watch the history channel together. We would sit there for hours and watch documentaries on everything imaginable. One documentary that I will never forget is one that we watched that was talking about how the Romans built the Colosseum and their aqueducts. That was when I first realized that I liked designing and how I liked seeing how buildings were designed and built.…

    Businessmen who find success must treat their employees well and have good relationships with rival companies. Morris indicated John D. Rockefeller did this the best. What also made him unique was the way in which he understood distribution. Rockefeller personally started many of the relationships with the purchases his company made and eventually helped with the merger as well. Rockefeller was able to guide his company in the direction he wanted it to go rather than having someone under him give off a reputation he did not intend.…

    History. Let’s just say theres a reason its called history and not the truth. By dissecting its parts we realize that the word itself conveys its meaning. History is, his story. Taking into consideration that“his” is not always a male but the one thing that stays constant is that his story is never exactly the same as her story or the other guys story and most importantly not, your story.…

    History is often seen as memorizing dates of battles and names of people who are long dead. However, I view history as the story of how modern society came to be instead. I took multiple history courses throughout high school, but my favorite class was AP World History. Rather than being isolated in one particular location, I studied how multiple cultures interacted and how they influenced each other. The course introduced me to regions, such as the Middle East, that I previously never even thought about.…

    1.“We cannot take students on a field trip into the past, but we can recreate a sense of history so powerful that students enter natively into the past and explore the “conflicts, suffering, joys and despair of those who lived before us.” (Page 329-330) At first it was hard for me to be able to see historical fiction playing an important role within the classroom. It was difficult because my experience with social studies in elementary involved a textbook, a workbook and a Times magazine. However, when I read these few lines I was left wondering why my education couldn’t have been like this.…

    It is natural to take the world around us for granted. We assume that the things we grow up with are new concepts and ideas, but we must take the time to delve deeper into history to realize that every “new” thing can be attributed to an older thing. It is difficult to see the nuances in history, and to connect them to more recent developments. The pyramids weren’t built in a single day, and neither was the concept of democracy in the American revolution. Everything builds on something previous.…

    The thing that interest me the most about humanities is the creation of different cultures through the help of many different historical figures. I know of many different important people in history such as Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Plato, Julias Cesar, and so on.. I want to learn about how these different people singlehandedly developed different societies and cultures the way that they did. When I was young I took a large interest in history even in elementary school I always found the history lessons to be the most interesting part of the day.

    After having so many great experiences throughout my academic career, there is still one moment that remains more special than others. It's been five years since I took AP European History with Mr. Hanna, but it still stands out as one of the best classes I have ever taken. Given that five years later I find myself as a Government major it may sound a bit obvious why I would like such a class. Yet, the best part wasn't what he taught, but how he taught it. History is notorious for being a "downer", and although I've always thought otherwise, it's fair to say that Mr. Hanna made the entire class and I love it even more.…
