I went through this list a couple of years ago. I found it interesting and helpful. I underlined the verses in the OT so that when I was reading through the OT and ran across them again I could see the OT context and know they were also referenced in someway in Revelation. It made me see how Revelation takes the prophecies of the OT and puts them in order. www.johnsnotes.com/documents/OldTestamentReferencesintheBookofRevelation.pdf

perhaps Two things I have enjoyed that helped with the OT is the list above and reading it from a Chronological Bible. Very helpful!

I take that back, there have been three things...the third was a study of the Angel of the Lord and Word of the Lord in the OT.

I've thought about chronological for a long time but never investigated. Wanted to try to do it myself but don't know where to start after say Job & Genesis. Is it book after book in year order or do the chapeters for different book intertwine?

The one I got is the One Year Chronological Bible. The chapters from the different books intertwine. So, for example, you read the prophets during their place in history. I didn't like it as much for the Gospels because it was a lot of repetition of the same events. (Same for Kings and Chronicles. ) But for Acts and the Epistles it was good. You can find the reading plan online, but some days there might be some flipping back and forth between books, so it is easier when it's already laid out.

my mom always had a line that the NT reveals what the OT conceals..
And, when we look at the chronological? I bet there is still a pattern of math from the Holy God Most High revealable, and perhaps even more apparent!! I have always wondered why Job, the oldest book is not in its place according to the timeline. Genesis written AFTER Job? Is that what I am to understand??

this was said: I wonder if that was Jesus?......hmmm..... Well, the Angel of the Lord allowed himself to be worshiped... And in some instances it seems like the Word of the Lord appeared physically to people. So...yes, I think so.

About Job... My Chronological Bible says that the account of Job is traditionally thought to have taken place around the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or shortly thereafter. However, it could have occurred as late as the exile (6th century BC).

My thoughts... Our Old Testament is grouped more by genre then by order. So the first five books are history, and Job does not fit as a history book. So, they group it with Psalms and Proverbs.
