KNOWING YOUR BIBLE
June 4, 2023: Dear Friends, Welcome to this blog that was established to help in learning and knowing the Bible. The Bible is God’s Holy Word to its readers. Newcomers to Bible study often become confused in trying to understand the Bible. The series we are in at this time has presented topics that will help in learning and understanding the Bible. The list of topics that have been discussed and taught are as follows: Learning the names and locations of the Bible books, learning how the Bible books are organized, learning how to search for and read specific Bible verses; the timeline on when the books of the Bible or the events that are written occurred and learning how the books of the Bible are related to each other. This series beganApril Go to keeganbooks. com to review and study the blogs in this series Each topic that has been discussed was very important in the program to learn the Bible. Spend some time on each blog several times a week to help in learning the Bible. At this time, the topic is on relating the books of the Bible through different geographic sites that are written throughout the Bible. This author has suggested that knowing the timeline of when the Book that is being read from adds perspective and interest to what is being taught. An example using both the timeline and the geographic site together is as follows. Take the site Bethlehem. Bethlehem was first written about in the book of Genesis, in chapter 36, verse 18. in approx.1800 to 1700 BCE. Then find Bethlehem mentioned several times in the book of Ruth. The happenings in Ruth occurred approximately in the ll25 BCE time frame. So approx.600 to 700 years had past from when the events in Genesis and Ruth occurred. The timeline is listed in the previous blogs written above. The focus tonight will continue to be on how the books of the Bible are related through geographic sites. So far the sites of the Sea of Galilee, Jericho, Bethlehem, Mount Moriah, and Jerusalem have been listed with Bible verses to help find the site. The sites of this blog will be the Jordan River, the Dead Sea, and The Great Sea (The Mediiterranean Sea
