Being the perfectionist, have to have everything in order, organized gal that I am, I just had to have a Chronological Bible. When I read the Bible and read a passage and then move to another book and find out that what I was reading happened before what I just read, it bugs me.
A couple of years ago, I searched and searched online to find a list of the books in chronological order of the Bible. It took me awhile to actually find one, but at last I did. Well I thought it was so neat to be able to read the Bible in the way it happened. Only it was a pain to have to read the passage and then go back to another book and read the next passage and then go back to the book you were at before. I got to about Ezekiel and just stopped because it was such a pain.
A couple months ago, I was looking through a CBD catalog we had just gotten, and was looking through the Bibles, because I really needed one. Mom really doesn’t like the Bible and version I have which is the TruthQuest Student Inductive Translation. I like the way it is, but Mom loves KJV and requires us to use it for all our reading and writings. So the Bible I had was pretty much useless to me. Anyway, I was looking for a bible in the catalog, and came across The Reese Chronological Bible. I read the specs and really thought I would enjoy it.
So for a Christmas present from my Grandpa when he asked what we wanted, I said I would like to have that Bible.
Since the beginning of the year I have tried to get into the Word more, but haven’t done a very good job sadly. I went to look for a Bible the other day, and got so excited that I was getting the Chronological one. Mom, of course, asked me how I knew that was what I was getting, to which I replied, “uh, its the only thing I asked for.” lol!!
Anyway, we still hadn’t gotten our gifts from my grandpa because he went on a trip after Christmas. Grandpa and Dorothy got to come over on Monday nite and give everyone their gifts.
I was just so happy when I opened my box and there was the Reese Bible. I took some time to read through it. It is so very neat.

Some of the features are:
*A general index in the beginning that presents the Bible story in outline form, and notes where the incident is located.
*Length of life in indicated with the heading describing an individual’s death.
*The generation lineage of our Lord is indicated in the headings describing the individual’s birth.
*Whenever possible, dates are used to help in grasping a proper perspective of the time element involved in each section.
*Every verse in the Bible is included in The Reese Chronological Bible. An index is located in the back of the Bible that gives the page number of every chapter in the Bible.
*A few items of contemporary history are added to some titles to give them additional help.

This Bible also has “The Jewish Year”. It is a calendar of the Hebraic year. Stating the months and their Jewish names and also what happenings there are in each month. It gives reference to Scripture that talks about the months too.
It gives the years and dates of when the Scriptures take place too.

I can’t wait to read this Bible all the way through.It is going to be so cool. I love it already!!

I thought this was interesting. It starts off with John 1:1-2, then goes to Psalm 90:2, then Genesis 1:1, and then it goes to Isaiah 1412-17, Ezekiel 28:13-18, and finally ends the page with Genesis 1:2.
If you looked up those Scriptures you will see that it talks about Satan being cast from Heaven.
Here is what they had to say on why they did it that way:
“Man in his finite being cannot comprehend the ways of an infinite God. In some ares where the Bible is silent, we will have to wait until eternity future to get many answers. Many scholars believe that Satan was cast out of heaven causing a perfect earth to become void and chaotic and thus causing havoc on some kind of pre-Adamic creation, with God then renovating the earth and preparing it for man as we know him some 6,00 years ago. Others believe that Satan did not come to earth until Genesis 3 when sin entered the world. Reese believed in the late creation theory.”
I thought that was interesting and good to know. I really don’t know enough to know which one would be true.

Well I thought I would share with you all my new favorite Bible. I don’t think I will be using it for family reading though as I would have to use the index to find specific chapters and verses, but still all the same, I love it.
Something to ease my perfectionism… haha!! Now if only I could get the laundry to organize itself into piles and get everything else organized and perfected. lol!!

Also, I want to let you all know of a new page on my blog. It’s the “I Am Praying For” page. If you have a prayer request, please either email me or leave a comment with the prayer request and I will pray for you.
As the body of Christ, we need to intercede for each other and lift each other up in Jesus’ name to the Father. Yes, He knows all our needs, but as the Bible says:

Matthew 18:20
“For where two or more are gathered together in My name, there I am in the midst.“

That means even when we gather together across the United States or the World, Jesus is still there with us.
So please let me know what I can pray with you for. I would love to be a prayer warrior for you!!
Love, Blessings and Prayers As Always,

Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!
