Atlas and Geography
(Updated August, 2010)
This page includes links to
some excellent full color maps (127 maps) as well as older maps. Here's how
to get to the color maps - click the link
Atlas and Geography. Then click the
Color
Map ("Bible Atlas with 127 maps"). Now click your back button
on your web browser (I cannot understand why this works but this will bring up the index of
the Bible Atlas in the right frame - yes, it is in German but the
Scriptures should help you determine what the map contains).
Here is an example of
the quality of the maps you will see - (1) Table of Nations,
(2) Time of the Patriarchs,
(3) Migration of Abraham,
(4) Kingdoms of David and
Solomon (it is my understanding that this is as "big" as Israel became
in terms of land acquired - thus they have yet to receive all the land
God promised Abraham in
Ge 15:18, 19, 20, 21 - the fulfillment of this promise awaits the
Second Coming of the Messiah).
You may have to click on several links before you find the atlas so
don't become frustrated. The maps are present! (At least as of August,
2010). (This is a German site).
MAPS AT NET BIBLE

This is an interesting tool which links
the Biblical place

articles all on one page! Very handy. Below are the 3 subdivisions.
Biblemapper
Bible Mapper
is a fully
interactive, highly accurate Bible mapping system that helps you quickly
and easily create customized maps of the Holy Lands or study a
particular period and aspect of Bible history.
Interesting tool! Many of the

Bible Topics Index
Interesting site (The Visual
Bible - see
search box below.
See also a compilation of their
Bible Study Tools) with images,
pictures, maps on topics not always found on Christian websites. You
need to at least be aware of this resource which represents a
significant collection of materials related to the Bible - e.g., there
are over 2000 pictures indexed under "Bible archaeology"
The maps are of high
quality and can be downloaded for non-commercial use at no charge.
Bible Maps for every OT and
NT location
These color maps are
attractive and include two interesting features: (1) Scripture
references in which the place name is found (some entries have all the
Scriptures, others only representative entries) and (2) Bible Dictionary
article (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) describing the
specific name. Very nice tool!
Bible Map by Google
Utilizing the well known
Google satellite maps, a
choice of either the ESV or the KJV and the information in the 1913
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (ISBE), this tool has
links built into the passages that will open a window connected to the
name of the place in the passage. For example, type in Genesis 12 in the
Bible window. Furthermore some of the information windows include a
collection of photographs of the place you are studying. This is what
computers are good at doing and it will probably become one of my
favorites as they tweak it. And if you have another free tool
InstaVerse
you can pop up all of the Scripture references in the ISBE article.
Remember that only
the KJV is free with the initial install of Instaverse. Other
popular versions are available for purchase. When you hold the mouse
pointer over a Scripture reference anywhere on the Web (as well as
offline in Word for Windows, email, etc) the passage pops up immediately.
InstaVerse
can be disabled if the
popups become distractive. This utility really does work and makes it
easy to read the actual passage in context and not just the chapter and
verse reference.
Bible Maps, Charts,

This is an older
(1907) but interesting work by
Willis Judson Beecher
that consists of a tabular collection of secular and parallel Biblical
dates with scholarly notes on the dates.

Bible Atlas - All Places Names
Alphabetized + Scriptures
Uses Google maps and locates every
place named in Scripture and includes the Scriptural reference. Add the
free tool
InstaVerse
(see description in next entry). Allows you to get a good general idea of
the location but in absence of other named well known sites, one loses the
sense of context. It is still worth examining, but I think the tool in the
next entry may prove more useful.

E-sword is one of the best free Bible

this program and all have given positive reviews.
If you

Timeline - Primarily
Historical Events
Click the link above - the
page that opens has a timeline at the top of the page. This
timeline deals primarily with historical events related to Christianity
beginning in AD 1-300 (a few events in the 6000-1BC tab). Click the
tab of the date range you are interested in and then click on specific
people or events. Interesting especially for us history aficionados. From
Christian History Institute.

OLDER LISTINGS
Search Engine for
Maps
and Images at the Visual Bible:
E.g., enter "Tarsus" to
retrieve pictures related to this site.
Note: Type in Corinth,
hit Search and results open in a new window. Now click one of the
maps to enlarge and you
will see a watermark ("Faith Images"). I have discussed this
issue with the webmaster and he states that (1) all the
maps and images can be
freely used in any non-profit setting (talks, websites, etc), (2) the
watermark is scheduled to be removed in the future and (3) finally when
you download the map or image it will not have the watermark. Some
information including email address is required to enable the free
download. Note that when you enlarge a map or image, other resource
options will appear, some of which include well written articles in the
Tyndale Bible Dictionary.
One nice feature of this
search engine is that maps and
images will be retrieved that relate to the specific Bible references. For
example, perform a search on "Acts 16" and you will retrieve the Scripture
passage in addition to a map of Paul's third missionary journey and a
picture of the river where Lydia was converted as she listened to Paul
proclaim the Gospel.
Genesis to Revelation in still
pictures & text, to tell the Bible story! Down load, print, publish,
power-point project the pictures!
These pictures are originals and from
my brief review (comparing the actual picture to what the Scripture
states) appear to accurately picture the people, places and events in
God's Holy Word.
RECOMMENDATION:
This would be an excellent tool to supplement your Sunday School class.
Another powerful use of these pictures would be in presentation of the
gospel cross culturally (short term or long term mission trips, to hidden
peoples who do not yet have the Scriptures in their language or for that
matter lack an actual written language!)

42 pictures which are beautiful but
note this artwork is copyright.
This site also has links to a
commentary on the Revelation of Jesus Christ but I would strongly recommend
that you first do a Precept Upon Precept study on prophecy before you read
any commentary notes on Revelation. When I led the 2 year Precept course on
Revelation, I made the mistake of looking at the commentaries and became
quite confused until I went back to simply observing the Scripture. The best
plan to become proficient in prophecy is to first do the
Precept Upon Precept Course on
Daniel
(I know it's long but you
will never regret the investment) as it forms the foundation for the
accurate interpretation of your observations in the 4 Precept courses on the
Revelation.
I spent almost 3 years leading classes through Daniel and Revelation but it
was the best investment of time I have ever made in studying prophetic
literature. You can purchase commentaries but as discussed above you will
find that in the area of eschatology ("future events") there is probably
more disagreement and confusion amongst even the most conservative and
orthodox Biblical scholars then in any other area of Biblical
interpretation. Find a Precept class in your area (call Precept at
1-800-763-8280 to find a class near you...preferably one that is
beginning the study of Daniel in preparation for the Revelation study or
coerce your local Precept leader to begin this series if they've never led
it). You will never regret it...the Revelation will come alive but an added
benefit is that the Old Testament prophetic books (like Isaiah and
Zechariah) will be illuminated by the Holy Spirit in a way you have never
before experienced as so much of what happens in Revelation deals with God's
Plan for the Ages at it relates specifically to the nation of Israel.

Another source I have found helpful
searching for images is the
Google Image Search.
E.g., type "Abraham Genesis" (Note - do not include quotation
marks) which retrieves over 100 images. As of 4/18/05 the number of image
hits matching Abraham Genesis has increased to 708 (and this is using the
preference Moderate Safe Search is on.). The images retrieved include
classics by Rembrandt, Michelangelo, etc.
Remember
- do not include quotation marks - any phrase in quotation marks
produces a search for that exact phrase whereas words without
quotation marks will search for a combination that includes all the words on
one page. E.g., if you type "Galilee map" in Google and keep the quotation
marks, you will retrieve 103 hits on Google Image search. Now type the same
two word but this time remove the quotation marks and you retrieve 36,800
hits! (Both with Moderate SafeSearch on - searching without a filter is
not recommended!)
In addition to the
Google "Image" search engine
you can also occasionally find other
maps and pictures by using the regular Google search. For example,
type in "Ephesus" into Google and retrieve over 241,000 hits (as of
7/22/03), this number increasing to 686,000 as of 4/18/05 and 3,060,000
(9/17/07)! The number one hit remains
