Absolutely! It extends back to Adam, as recorded in the Bible.

Yes, it goes all the way back I should know I think to Abram ??? But yes, it goes way way back. There is so much in the Bible I am discovering, like Joseph after he was sold by his brothers when he was about 17, he was sold to slave traders because he was his father's favorite and anyhow, it took him 27 years and it wasn't all good by any means to get to where God wanted him and created him to be to save the people from famine and forgive and love his brothers, so my trials didn't seem that bad and then poor ol' moses had to spend 40 years in the desert with all the million whiners when it was actually a 2 week trip ! How easy my trials seem now :)
