Each chart is one continuous timeline you can scroll, filter, and search. Books sit in columns beside the years they cover, so the distance between a prophet's warning and the thing he warned about is a distance you can see rather than one you have to reconstruct. Right-click almost anything for the material behind it — a book's summary, a year's concordance, a marker's full category list.
The two historical charts run on dates. The Second Coming cannot, because the scriptures give the last days an order and withhold the calendar. It is laid out by sequence instead, and it says so on every screen.
Old Testament
1032 – 396 BC · David to Malachi
The kingdoms of Israel and Judah — their apostasy, their scattering by Assyria and Babylon, and the promise held open through all of it: redemption through an atoning Messiah of the line of David. Every book of the Old Testament is placed beside the events it records.
New Testament
6 BC – AD 100 · the birth of Christ to the apostolic age
The mortal ministry and Atonement of Jesus Christ, the apostolic Church, and the Roman world around them — with every book of the New Testament placed beside the events it records.
The Restoration
1820 – 1978 · every section at the date and place it was received
All 140 sections beside the events that produced them, each with what is known about how it was received, who held the pen, and what is disputed about its date. Ninety quotations from general authorities and scholars, every witness account of the plates and every recorded vision, the questions raised about the book answered and left open where they are open, and thirteen warnings traced to what followed.
The Last Days
The Restoration to the celestialized earth · ordered by sequence, not by date
The signs already given, the signs now unfolding, and what is yet to come — drawn from Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation through the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. Where a prophecy has been fulfilled the chart says so; where the timing is disputed it says that instead of choosing.
“Search the Scriptures—search the revelations which we publish, and ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, to manifest the truth unto you, and if you do it with an eye single to His glory, nothing doubting, He will answer you by the power of His Holy Spirit.”Joseph SmithPresident of the ChurchDoctrine and Covenants Student Manual, quoting History of the Church, 1:282
“The doctrines contained in the Bible will lift to a superior condition all who observe them; they will impart to them knowledge, wisdom, charity, fill them with compassion and cause them to feel after the wants of those who are in distress, or in painful or degraded circumstances.”Brigham YoungPresident of the ChurchTeachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, ch. 17
“I am convinced that each of us, at some time in our lives, must discover the scriptures for ourselves—and not just discover them once, but rediscover them again and again.”Spencer W. KimballPresident of the ChurchTeachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, ch. 6
Tools and resources. Two things serve all four outlines, and the three bars at the top of any page open them.
Dictionary — the words the charts use and do not stop to explain, from covenant and priesthood to bulla, tetrarch and parousia. Sortable A–Z or by category, and live inside the charts: click a dotted word in any popout and the definition opens beside it.
Bibliography — every book, article, inscription and object the outlines lean on, sortable by author, by theme, or by which outline cites it. Where a book can be bought the link is there and nowhere else on this site, with the disclosure beside it.
