billwing Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I just purchased the graphics bundle and am exploring it. It is a wonderful tool. I am reading the book of Daniel so I looked on the timeline for Daniel's life dates. The timeline gives -605 to -537 as his life dates in the conservative scheme of dating. That seemed too late for his birth for the book of Daniel references. I checked Easton and they suggest -623 as his birth year. I looked in the Mesopotamian section of the timeline and Daniel's court service is also listed as -605 to -537. Is the birth date incorrect on the timeline? I have the training DVD and I remember that I can put in my own dates, so I might end up doing that for Daniel's birth. Update: I figured out how to put in a different user item for Daniel's dates but now his name overlaps the item above it, "Zephaniah (Book).' I don't suppose there is a way to move an item vertically within the time line to give space for easier visual reading, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackcav Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I believe those dates (-605 - -637) reflect the time period covered by the events recorded in the historical sections of the book, not the length of Daniel's life. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billwing Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 I see what you mean. I assumed that when a name, such as Daniel, was listed with a timeline entry that it represented an estimated lifespan, unless otherwise noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
