Implemented comprehensive chronology comparison features:
1. Updated methodology note to include Scofield Reference Bible chronology
alongside Ussher, noting its historical significance in evangelical study
2. Added inline alternative dates for major events showing Ussher/Scofield
dates alongside primary Masoretic dates (e.g., "11,013 BC • Ussher/Scofield: 4004 BC")
3. Created collapsible chronology comparison table displaying all three frameworks
side-by-side for key events (Creation, Flood, Abraham, Exodus, etc.)
4. Made comparison table expandable with HTML5 <details> element for clean UX
Key differences highlighted:
- Creation: Masoretic 11,013 BC vs Ussher/Scofield 4004 BC
- Flood: Masoretic 4,990 BC vs Ussher/Scofield 2348 BC
- Abraham: Masoretic c. 2500 BC vs Ussher 1921 BC vs Scofield 1996 BC
- Christ's birth: Masoretic 7 BC vs Ussher/Scofield 4 BC
Provides scholarly context while maintaining Masoretic gap-allowing interpretation
as primary framework. Honors the historical influence of both Ussher's and
Scofield's chronologies in KJV study tradition.

Updated timeline dates to use Masoretic text with gap-allowing interpretation of
Genesis 5 and 11 genealogies as primary framework:
Major date changes:
- Creation/Adam: 11,013 BC (was 4004 BC)
- The Flood: 4,990 BC (was 2348 BC)
- Patriarchs: Adjusted dates with c. 2500 BC for Abraham
- Birth of Christ: 7 BC (was c. 4 BC)
The 'begat' (yalad) interpretation allows for generational gaps except where textual
markers like 'he named him' indicate direct father-son relationships. Updated
chronology note explains both Masoretic (primary) and Ussher (alternative) approaches,
clarifying that both use the same biblical text but differ in genealogical interpretation.
Later historical dates (Exile, Return, etc.) remain anchored to archaeological evidence.

Replace approximate dates with precise Ussher chronology based on
successive (non-concurrent) calculation of biblical genealogies:
Key date changes:
- Creation: 4004 BC (was c. 4000 BC)
- Fall of Man: 4004 BC (same year as creation)
- Great Flood: 2348 BC (1656 years after creation)
- Abraham's call: 1921 BC (calculated from Genesis 11-12)
- Isaac's birth: 1896 BC (Abraham age 100)
- Jacob's birth: 1836 BC (Isaac age 60)
- Joseph in Egypt: 1706 BC
- Moses' birth: 1571 BC
- The Exodus: 1491 BC (430 years in Egypt)
- Period of Judges: 1400-1050 BC
- King Saul: 1095 BC
- King David: 1055 BC
- King Solomon: 1015-975 BC
- Divided Kingdom: 975 BC
Historical dates (722 BC, 586 BC, 538 BC, etc.) remain unchanged as
they are confirmed by secular historical records.
The successive method adds genealogical ages sequentially without
gaps, following the traditional chronology established by Archbishop
James Ussher in the 17th century.

UI Improvements:
1. Move verse navigation to directly under verse text
- Navigation now appears immediately after the verse for better UX
- Removed duplicate navigation from bottom of page
- Added margin styling for proper spacing
2. Add verse linking to reading plan references
- Parse reading references (Book Chapter:Verse format)
- Support multiple formats: Chapter:Verse, Chapter, Chapter-Chapter
- Handle verse ranges (e.g., Genesis 1:1-5)
- Create clickable links to book/chapter/verse pages
- Fallback to plain text for unparseable references
Both changes improve navigation and make Scripture references more
accessible throughout the site.
