Here is a link<\/a> to Bible reading plans to read through the Bible in a time amount you select and in different ways including chronologically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re just starting to read the Bible, a good place to start is John or Mark. To get a Bible for phones just look up any Bible app. Remember each Bible translation is really just a commentary on the actual original language of true Scripture. So, you will want to have a regular Bible in your language and also one that shows you the words & meaning of the actual words of the original language called a Hebrew\/Greek Interlinear Bible.  (Hebrew is read from right to left)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For computers: <\/strong>biblehub.com<\/strong><\/a> & Interlinear<\/strong><\/a>
World English Bible (WEB)<\/a>: this is being added to make the apocrypha available. The apocrypha books are good for using for historical context only and should not used as Scripture. Like reading the 1st book of Maccabees to get the historical background of Chanukkah\/Hanukkah.
For Android phones from the Google Play: Hebrew\/Greek Interlinear Bible<\/a><\/strong>
Apple fans just do a search for “Hebrew Interlinear Bible” or “Greek Interlinear Bible.” At the time of this writing, apple was lacking in the area of a good free Interlinear Bible. For a free interlinear, you can use the “for computers” link above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are extra links for people who want to go a little deeper into what the Word is stating from the context of the original language.
Here is a free Hebrew lexicon (NASB 1995): LINK<\/a>. (It is full of ads, but it is the only free one I have found so far that indexes the lexicon to search it more quickly<\/em>.) Here is the free Greek lexicon (NASB 1995): LINK<\/a>. Here is a chart for Greek verb tense, mood, voice: Chart LINK<\/a>. Here is a place to learn Hebrew grammar for free: LINK<\/a>.

Week of Man Timeline<\/u><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Above is WhyAlive.com’s Bible Timeline. If you find a mistake, please let us know. You use this type of material as you are reading the Scripture to allow you to see correlations between events. In some areas, this timeline will also challenge some of the popular Christian opinions that do not have a Biblical foundation. This timeline takes every verse of Scripture as true. I noticed most timelines just state there was a mistake or copying error to make the timeline fit. So, for the 5+ scriptures that line up the Exodus, some of them must be wrong. I don’t believe that. So, this timeline has established a way to satisfy all 5+ verses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timeline of the Bible<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I like this timeline above to study the Word looking at comparisons. It is the best looking of all these timelines and the funnest to use, but it looks to be the most inaccurate. It seems to be even slower at loading than WhyAlive.com’s timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These maps are good to follow along with the Scripture. Both links above are the same maps. We may not agree with all the material (like the Exodus maps, we do not agree with them, we agree more with the Exodus maps on DoubtingThomasResearch.com<\/a><\/em>), but what maps I have used seemed good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Alphabet (Aleph-Bet)<\/u><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Genesis (Gen 4:15<\/em>) states the Lord placed a sign on Cain other people would understand, showing earthly writing existed in the beginning. The first earthly alphabet is prophetic of future events 1000s of years into the future (as you will see as you continue<\/i>), something men or angels can not accomplish. This leaves us with an alphabet the Lord, Creator of Shamayim (Heaven[s]<\/em>) and Arets (Earth<\/em>), created. This first earthly language and writing is Hebrew. Different earthly languages and their writings came into existence after the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrew letters were written differently in the time of Adam than in the time of Mosheh (Moses<\/em>) [1]<\/a>. Both ways of writing the letters are correct; and so, there are two or more forms of the same letter. Each letter of the first alphabet usually has a beginning form and a final form (like a capital & small letter<\/em>), with the beginning form used at the beginning of a word and sometimes a following syllable (Hebrew has been written with most letters only having one form<\/em>). Hebrew letters are drawn with a stick image corresponding to the definition of the letter. The pictured image’s name is the name of the letter. Words written with Hebrew are read from right to left just as Arets (Earth<\/em>) turns right to left while facing the Sun to the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With each letter having its own definition, a word becomes defined by the arrangement of the letters within the word. The word BA<\/p1> (bA<\/em>) is the Hebrew word for father. By understanding the definition of A<\/p1> (A<\/em>) (creator, leader<\/em>) and B<\/p1> (b<\/em>) (house, tent, tabernacle<\/em>), the definition of the word BA<\/p1> can be understood as creator\/leader of the house\/tent\/tabernacle. As the letters are understood more fully, the words defined by them become clearer in meaning. (For the meaning of each letter and their references, refer to the Alpha-Bet Map of Hebrew.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hebrew is written with consonants only while being read with memorized vowels, just as there is the written Torah (Instruction \/ Law \/ First 5 books of the Old Testament<\/em>) and the memorized Oral Torah (Oral Instruction \/ Oral Law \/ Mishnah<\/em>). Different vowels read into the same consonants of a word can give the word a different meaning with the context of the writing pointing toward the correct meaning to be read. So, the word BA<\/p1> (bA) with a different vowel can be a sprouting plant (shoot<\/em>) with the letters defining the word as a newly created tabernacle\/body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As each letter has its own meaning, the alphabet itself is a story of the salvation message starting with the 1st letter representing the Father and finishing with the last letter of the Cross. If man made this alphabet, how did he know how to write an alphabet that tells the story of events that would happen 4000 years into the future. Much more to come. The Hebrew section of WhyAlive is being moved over to this site in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient Hebrew<\/u><\/strong><\/a>: (not WhyAlive’s material)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is a cool website I found. Their material is not always correct, as you will find from any website, and should be tested against the original language of the Scripture. But, this is very good material. The Hebrew section for WhyAlive.com is under “God’s Radical Love<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
