- Person
Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth is the center of the Christian faith and of FaithGraph. The Gospels present Him as the promised Messiah of Israel, the eternal Word made flesh, who taught, healed, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, rose bodily on the third day, and commissioned His followers to carry the good news to all nations.

Jerusalem
Jerusalem is the city David made his capital and where Solomon built the temple. In the Gospels it is where Jesus taught in the temple, shared the Last Supper, was tried, crucified, and rose, and where the church was born at Pentecost.
Focus this layer - Event
Creation
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, ordered the world by His word, and made humanity, male and female, in His own image to rule and care for it. The New Testament adds that everything was made through the Word who became flesh in Jesus.

The Passover and the exodus
On the night God struck down the firstborn of Egypt, every Israelite household sheltered behind the blood of a lamb on its doorframe, and God passed over them. Pharaoh released the people, and when his army pursued them God parted the sea so Israel crossed on dry ground.
Focus this layer - Person
Abraham
Abraham, first called Abram, was the patriarch whom God called out of Ur to a land He would show him, promising him descendants, a great name, and blessing for all the families of the earth. Genesis says he believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.
Focus this layer - Person
David
David was the shepherd from Bethlehem who became Israel's second king. God promised him a house and a throne that would endure forever, and many psalms are attributed to him. The Gospels present Jesus as the Son of David, the promised heir to that throne.
Focus this layer - Person
Jonah
Jonah was the prophet from Gath-hepher sent to preach in Nineveh. He fled by sea, was swallowed by a great fish for three days and three nights, and after his deliverance preached to Nineveh, which repented. Jesus named the sign of Jonah as the one sign His generation would receive.
Focus this layer - Person
Judah
Judah was the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, the ancestor of the tribe that gave Israel its kings. Jacob's blessing promised that the scepter would not depart from Judah, and through his son Perez the line runs to Boaz, Jesse, and David.
Focus this layer - Person
Solomon
Solomon was David's son by Bathsheba who succeeded him as king, asked God for wisdom, and built the first temple in Jerusalem. His reign was the height of Israel's peace and wealth, but his foreign marriages and idolatry led God to announce the division of the kingdom after his death.
Focus this layer - Place
Egypt
Egypt is the great kingdom on the Nile where Jacob's family settled, where Israel was enslaved for generations, and from which God brought them out at the exodus. Centuries later Joseph carried the infant Jesus there to escape Herod, and Matthew heard in the return the words of Hosea: out of Egypt I called my son.
Focus this layer - Theme
Resurrection
Resurrection is God raising the dead to bodily life. The Old Testament glimpses it in Job, the Psalms, Isaiah, and Daniel; the Gospels narrate the raising of Jesus on the third day; and Paul calls Him the firstfruits, the first of a harvest that includes everyone who belongs to Him.
Focus this layer - Theme
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God present and active among His people. He hovers over creation, fills prophets and craftsmen in the Old Testament, descends on Jesus at His baptism, is promised by Jesus as the Advocate, and comes on the church at Pentecost, giving power to witness, new birth, gifts, and fruit.
Focus this layer - Theme
The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is God's active reign, promised through Israel's prophets and announced by Jesus as having come near in Himself. Jesus taught its character in parables, displayed it in healings, and said it would grow until His return.
Focus this layer - Title
Lamb of God
Lamb of God is the title John the Baptist gave Jesus at the Jordan: the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It gathers up the Passover lamb, the lamb Abraham said God would provide, and Isaiah's servant led like a lamb, and Revelation makes the Lamb its central figure.
Focus this layer - Title
Son of David
Son of David is a royal title for the promised king from David's line. Matthew opens with it, blind Bartimaeus and the crowds at the entry use it of Jesus, and Jesus Himself raises the question of how David's son can also be David's Lord.
Focus this layer - Title
Son of Man
Son of Man is the title Jesus used for Himself more than any other. In the Gospels it names the one who has authority to forgive sins, who must suffer and rise, and who will come with the clouds; Daniel's vision of one like a son of man receiving an everlasting kingdom stands behind that last sense.

The covenant with David
When David wanted to build a house for God, God answered that He would build David a house: a descendant whose throne would be established forever, whom God would treat as a son. The promise outlasted David's failures and the fall of his kingdom.
Focus this layer - Event
The exile and the return
Babylon burned the temple and carried Judah into exile, apparently ending the line of David. Jeremiah had promised that after seventy years God would bring the people back, and the decree of Cyrus of Persia opened the way home and the rebuilding of the temple.
