2. Fall is sin entering the world. Genesis 3



3. Flood, which is the judgment for sin. Noah, Genesis 6-10

The Patriarch Era runs from Genesis 12-50

2. Isaac the second Father of promise. Genesis 27-35



3. Jacob the Father of the Nation of Israel. Genesis 27-35

The Exodus Era covers Exodus thru Deuteronomy. Again, we find four major events.



1. Deliverance, freedom from slavery in Egypt. Exodus 1-18
