Please note: EVERYTHING on the Bible805 Academy is FREE. I used to charge in the past, but no longer do, so if you see something that says there is a charge, just ignore it–ALL IS FREE and many, many people from around the world have taken advantage of this–that’s why it was created and I pray many more will use the materials also!
ONE MORE THING, 2-21-2026–I need to update this video, but most of it is still useful, so I’m keep it up here until I get a chance to do a newer one.
The Bible805 Academy was created so that YOU can have the resources needed to teach the Bible and this video shows you one way to do that. To help you teach in whatever way works for you, the Bible805 Academy (https://www.Bible805Academy.com) has the video and audio versions of the lesson without ads or distractions, plus the original PowerPoint files that you can edit, plus notes, questions, and infographics that go with the various lessons. Following is a video that shows you briefly how to edit the PowerPoints. Below it more information on how to make the materials your own.
You can also remove my name from the lessons. I do not need you to credit me–my goal is to give you quality, well-researched, and tested resources to help you teach the Word of God.
Typology, the teaching that the Old Testament prefigured events in the New Testament is an important concept to understand as you read your Bible. It’s important because when we see how God has worked out the same plan for salvation history over thousands of years it can give us hope and confidence in our faith and trust in the future God has prepared for us. He did that by showing a type (a preview) of an important truth in the past, that was later fulfilled in reality in the future.
It’s common to hear, even from those who seem very knowledgeable about the Christian faith and the Bible that “the Trinity is very hard to understand” or that “the Trinity is a mystery,” or a similar statement.
When we read through the Prophets in the Old Testament, particularly when we get to Ezekiel and Daniel we are introduced to fantastic images, whirling wheels, fantastic beasts, and world-shaking prophecies. This type of writing is what is known as “apocalyptic” and it’s useful to take some time to understand this type of writing, this genre in the Bible to understand the books that contain it. 
I truly believe that getting to know your Bible well by reading it in Chronological Order is THE MOST important thing you can do in the coming year and every year, not only for yourself, but for those you care for in your small groups, classes, or other ministry groups—I now have something for you. 
Committing to reading the Bible in the coming year in chronological order is a significant time-consuming and spiritual decision. There are many schedules available for you to do that and I encourage you to make the most of any and all of them. However, the one I created for you from Bible805 is the result of much time, prayer, study, and revision from both the perspective of a Bible teacher and a trained historian. Following are a podcast, video, and a written transcript of the specific reasons why I organized the readings into the order that I did. 
Do you wish you had more time for Bible study? Either for yourself or for when you prepare to teach?
