Antiochus III begins to reign

Seleucid chronology · 223 BC

The established chronology of Living Bible Timeline

This portion follows Judea between the Ptolemaic and Seleucid kingdoms, the persecution under Antiochus IV, the Maccabean revolt, the Temple’s rededication, and the Hasmonean succession. First Maccabees and Josephus are labeled as historical records and never placed in the KJV column.

The Jubilee count remains continuous

The Nisan count begins at the Exodus while Creation years continue beside it. Each separate fiftieth-year Jubilee appears once, on its exact Nisan-year row.

Sources remain visibly separate

KJV references identify biblical statements. Persian, Greek, Roman, Josephus, and Maccabean records are historical witnesses. A historical date or working identification is never presented as though Scripture supplied it.
