Explore the ten lessons

Each lesson follows a distinct epoch in the biblical story.

Epoch 1 – Creation to 2000 BC

The Beginning: from creation to scattering

Witness the breathtaking beginning of everything—from creation’s perfection to humanity’s fall and God’s unfolding plan of redemption. Discover how the first epoch sets the stage for the Savior to come.

Epoch 2 – 2000 to 1500 BC

The Patriarchs: from a promise to the fathers

Before Israel was a nation, he was a man renamed by God. Trace the stunning sweep from Ur of the Chaldeans to the covenant promise as God calls one family to shape the fate of the world.

Epoch 3 – 1500 to 1200 BC

The Deliverance: from a family to a people

From a family of seventy to a nation redeemed, watch as God shatters Pharaoh’s pride and reveals His name in fire and blood. Journey through Exodus to witness the God who saves—and speaks—from the mountain.

Epoch 4 – 1200 to 930 BC

The Conquest: from tribes to a nation

A faithless generation dies in the desert, but their children step into destiny as God parts floodwaters and topples walls. Journey from the Jordan to Jericho and witness a God who keeps His promises—no matter how improbable the plan.

Epoch 5 – 930 to 586 BC

The Kingdom: from monarchy to division

Power struggles, prophetic warnings, and flawed kings dominate the rise and fracture of Israel’s monarchy. Step into the chaos as Saul is crowned, David is chased, and the throne becomes a battlefield for hearts and kingdoms.

Epoch 6 – 586 to 332 BC

The Exile: from ruin to rebuild

The kings have fallen, the people are scattered, and the temple lies in ruins—but God is not finished. Witness how exile, empires, and prophets unfold the faithfulness of a God who keeps His promises, even when His people forget theirs.

Epoch 7 – 332 to 5 BC

The Silence: from the Old Testament to the New

The Bible falls silent, but history thunders on. Discover how empires rise, prophets vanish, temples are defiled, and one faithful remnant prepares the way for the coming of the Messiah.

Epoch 8 – 5 BC to AD 33

The Messiah: from birth to resurrection

He came when the silence broke and the heavens opened. Walk through Galilee and Jerusalem with the promised Messiah, and see how every prophecy points to the one who heals, teaches, and redeems.

Epoch 9 – AD 33 to 58

The Church: from the Spirit to the spreading

From locked doors to fearless witnesses, the risen Jesus transforms doubters into world-changers. Walk with the apostles as the Holy Spirit ignites a movement that no empire can silence.

Epoch 10 – AD 58 to 100

The End: from the Jews to all peoples

From Antioch to Rome, shipwrecks to synagogues, witness how the gospel turned the world upside down. Journey with Paul and the early church as the mission of Jesus surges beyond Jerusalem—unstoppable, uncontainable, and utterly global.
