Chronology of Supernatural

The chronology of Supernatural is very complicated, as no precise dates are given in many episodes. The show is currently set in 2018, and it is has begun sometime in 2005, as evidenced by the murders committed by Constance Welch from 2003-2005. Clear dates are given in the early chronology of the Winchester family, i.e. Dean was born in 1979 and Mary died in 1983. Shown below is a construction of the chronology of Supernatural.

Primeval/Primordial times

 * Before there was anything, there was only the The Empty, where an unknown Cosmic Entity rules and slumbers for all of eternity.
 * Amara appeared, marking the beginning of existence.
 * Eventually, Death and God, the latter being The Darkness' younger brother, came into existence.
 * God creates many worlds to try and show The Darkness that they don't have to be alone, but The Darkness would always destroy whatever he created.
 * God created the four Archangels. Those being Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, and Gabriel.
 * God rallied the Archangels to go to war with The Darkness, and with their combined strength, they managed to imprison her. To contain the Darkness, God made the Mark of Cain, which is both a key and lock to his sister's cell. God gave the Mark to Lucifer, his most valued and beloved Lieutenant.
 * God created the Leviathans, the first beasts, but fearing their destructive nature he created Purgatory and imprisoned them there.
 * God defined the laws of physics and created the physical Universe. He also created spirit worlds separated from the physical universe. Among them is Heaven, with Heaven's Garden at the center and the Axis Mundi as the central road through the realm.
 * God created the other angels, among them are Castiel, Zachariah, Anna, Balthazar, Naomi, Uriel, Metatron, Hester, Gadreel, Ezekiel, Samandriel, and many others.

 * God assigned Atropos and her sisters the job of guiding destiny according to his design.
 * Death and his Reapers started to manage the flow of life and death.

Birth of Humanity

 * Castiel joined Anna's garrison and was stationed on Earth. He watched the very first fish crawl onto land and an older angel told him not to step on it, because God had big plans for that fish.
 * Eve created an army of monsters to overcome the future human race. She created the Alphas and the Alphas began to turn humans into monsters who in turn infected more humans into monsters.
 * God asked his angelic children to bow down and worship or love humans as he believed humanity to be the best of all his creations. Lucifer began to feel the effects of the Mark God gave him. He began to develop negative characteristics.
 * Uriel was captivated with their older brother's power and beauty, feeling sympathy for his disdain for humans.
 * In defiance of God, as the Mark corrupted him further, Lucifer snuck into the Garden and corrupted humanity. Lucifer then asked Michael, his older brother, to stand by him in conflict and the war, however Michael refused and beat him down, on God's order, starting a war in the process.
 * Gadreel was imprisoned for letting Lucifer into the Garden.
 * God created Hell.
 * Lucifer's Cage was formed by God.
 * Lucifer created the first demon, Lilith.
 * Lucifer began to create Hell's hierarchy, starting with first generation of demons after Lilith, called the Princes of Hell which he created himself. They were named Azazel, Ramiel, Dagon, and Asmodeus.
 * Asmodeus sought to please Lucifer by releasing the Shedim. Asmodeus believed that he could train and use the Shedim despite Lucifer fearing them. Lucifer instead punished him by inflicting two scars upon Asmodeus' face and re-imprisoned the Shedim.
 * One of the first sons of man, Abel, was attempting to pray to God. In actuality he was praying to Lucifer, making his soul hellbound. His older brother Cain refused to let this happen and made a pact with Lucifer: to have his soul in Hell for Cain's to be delivered to Heaven. Lucifer agreed on the condition that Cain would murder his brother and bear the mark. Cain killed Abel who was then sent to Heaven. To avoid the corruption of the mark Cain killed himself only to be resurrected as a demon and the first Knight of Hell.
 * Lucifer Handpicked the rest of the Knights of Hell and had Cain train and lead them. They brought havoc and carnage for years before vanishing.
 * Lucifer was defeated and thrown into The Cage by Michael.
 * Gabriel left Heaven after he saw his brothers fighting each other.
 * God left Heaven. In despair at seeing their father go, the archangels decided to rule the universe in his stead, but needed the Word of God to achieve this. Naomi was ordered to debrief Metatron, but he escaped to Earth before they could get him in their hands. God continued to talk with Joshua.

 * The new King of the Crossroads, demon Barthamus, contacts Dean to give him a Nephilim tracking spell. In exchange, he must retrieve his remains, unbeknownst to Sam and Dean, from an occult item collector named Luther Shrike. With the help of Barthamus' operatives, a demon named Grab and a girl named Alice who sold her soul to him, they find and make off with the trunk, after Luther kills Grab. When Luther attacks Sam, Dean, and Alice, he has them open the trunk to see the bones. Luther explains that he sold his soul to Barthamus for his sons life, only for his son to drown later on. Barthamus said there was nothing he could do about it. To keep himself from being killed, he made his property a place he could never die on. Barthamus shows up and beheads Luther, killing him and grabbing Alice. When he tells her to grab his bones, she instead lights them, killing him and destroying the tracking spell in the process.

Split Timeline: 2014 (The Apocalypse)

 * It is now five years into the Apocalypse which had inadvertently been started by Sam when he accidentally released Lucifer. By now Earth is a wreck, humanity is almost extinct, and many millions of humans are infected with the Croatoan Virus. Those uninfected, including a human Castiel, remain isolated and in hiding. Dean is flung into this future by the angel Zachariah so Dean can witness what happens when he refuses to allow the Archangel Michael to use him to defeat Lucifer. As a result, Dean is tormented when he witnesses his future self being murdered - By none other than Lucifer, who has possessed Dean's own brother Sam.

[Note: Fortunately this Apocalypse was averted when Dean destroyed the Croatoan Virus and Sam fought back against Lucifer and trapped him once again in the Cage]
