BibleAtlas.org An excellent online source for Bible maps with Bible history pertinent to each site. Bible Gateway's Searchable Online Bible. Find any passage you want online by word, phrase, or reference in 125 different versions, and multiple languages. Keil and Delitzsch Bible Commentary Online. Keil and Delitzsch were conservative Bible scholars from a bygone era. However, they did not interpret prophetic passages literally. So K & D has limited value in the prophets. K & D online is found on Bible Hub. The site hosts a variety of Bible Study Tools. They link to over 50 Bible Commentaries "free online." Carl Friedrich Keil was a conservative 19th Century German Lutheran Old Testament scholar who teamed up with Franz Delitzsch to write a conservative, but non-dispensational ten-volume commentary on the Old Testament. Franz Delitzsch was a conservative 19th Century German Lutheran theologian and Hebrew scholar. (Posted January 31, 2020)
A preliminary critique of the NET Bible: There is a wealth of information available here from a generally conservative point of view. NET Bible has a lot of bells and whistles that I have not yet discovered or learned how to use. I have not used the resource extensively. But recently I have begun referring to its OT translation in the Book of Ruth. I have discovered that the translation offered is a paraphrase. While that may serve the purposes of the editors, it does not serve my purposes as a Bible student who places a premium on translations that accurately and consistently, if possible, represent an original Hebrew word with a consistently employed English word. I prefer a more word-for-word translation, such as the New American Standard Bible or New English Version. Paraphrases, almost by definition, employ an interpretive translation that, of necessity, represents the particular bias of the translator. I find myself not always agreeing with the decision of the translator. The dubious translation of Ruth 3:14 is a case in point. On a more positive note, the footnotes employed by the editors are, at times, exceedingly helpful. I found myself, in one passage in Ruth, being swayed toward the interpretation of the NET Bible by the explanations of Hebrew syntax in the footnote. On the other hand, I have scanned the footnotes for Ezekiel 40:1 - 48:35, a prime passage for revealing both the hermeneutical principles and resultant eschatology of a Bible scholar. The footnotes here were singularly unhelpful and bland from that perspective. They were relegated almost exclusively to giving Hebrew and metric explanations of dimensions used in the NET Bible translation. I suppose the editors felt that matters of interpretation and eschatology were adequately explained by the notes of Thomas Constable. Fortunately, he is both a conservative and a dispensationalist. Constable describes the city, the temple, and the distributed land in the closing chapters of Ezekiel as being Millennial. I believe he is correct. Posted May 4, 2014 Sequel: I had occasion to compare the NASB translation of Hebrews 8:8 with the NetBible translation. The topic in the context is the inability of the First Covenant to achieve righteousness contrasted with the ability of the Second Covenant to do so. The NASB translation reads, "For finding fault with them ...." The NetBible reads, "But showing its fault ...." The NetBible footnote there reads, "The 'fault' or limitation in the first covenant was not in its inherent righteousness, but in its design from God himself. It was never intended to be his final revelation or provision for mankind; it was provisional, always pointing toward the fulfillment to come in Christ." Unless the NetBible is using a different Greek text than the one to which I have access, that footnote is completely bogus. Though I happen to agree with the footnote, the Greek word in question is autous, which is a plural reflexive pronoun. The writer, therefore is not talking about the (singular) covenant, but about the (plural) Hebrew people who could not and did not keep the First Covenant. (See the context of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:18-19, 22, 28-30.) I say all that to say this: The more I work with the NetBible, the less confidence I have in it. Posted August 30, 2015 A great source for pictures and images of the Holy Land.

A compendium of events that purportedly fulfill Biblical prophecy and portend an impending Rapture, Christ's return for His Church. To some degree this site is a bit of an overkill. Furthermore, the catstrophes of nature described in the Book of Revelation will take place after the Rapture, not before. Nevertheless, it's an interesting concept...
Translation Tools Translate from one language to another online for free. I have used it to convert English Bible studies into Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. The free translations are "gisted," not syntactical. If you want a professional translation, you must pay for it. More recently, I have discovered Google Translate as a helpful translation site. It seems very user-friendly. When translating into another language, it is helpful at times to retranslate your target translation back into English. Sometimes that can help you detect an English word that is ambiguous enough that hinders translation. Sometimes a certain amount of experimentation can help you choose more "fool-proof" English synonyms that more readily translate accurately into your target language. There is no substitute for a human resource who is at home in the target language, however.

StudyLight is source for Bible Study Tools, Original Language Toos, Historical Writings, and Pastoral Resources. I have not researched the whole site, but of particular interest to me are the site's online Lexicons, which provide definitions and the facility for studying the usages of various Hebrew and Greek original words behind the English text. Options are available for Strong's numbers for both the King James Version and the New American Standard Bible. To use the Lexicons directly the reader needs to know the appropriate Strong's Number. One way to do this is to access the Bible Dictionaries on site, plug in an English word, and be directed to the appropriate lexicon. An alternative method is to utilize the Strong's numbers provided on Blue Letter Bible.org. This entry updated December 28, 2018

Books Online Exposition of Genesis, Volume I, by Herbert Carl Leupold (1892-1972). At the time of writing, Leupold was Professor of Old Testament Exegesis in the Capital University Seminary, Columbus, Ohio. Though an amillennial, Leupold was a rock-ribbed conservative, stoutly defending a true understanding of God's Word against the pernicious hypotheses of critical (liberal) scholars. Matthew Henry's Unabridged Commentary on the Whole Bible. Christian Classics Ethereal Library (evidently hosted by Calvin College). Note: Matthew Henry is a conservative commentator, but he is not dispensational. He does not interpret Biblical prophecy literally. He spiritualizes OT prophecies about Israel, applying them to the church, and is thus a subscriber to Replacement Theology (the unbiblical view that the Church has forever replaced Israel). For an example, see Henry's mistaken interpretation of Isa. 2:1-4 as meaning the Church. For this reason, in the view of WordExplain, this volume has limited value, and WordExplain does not endorse the entire contents of Matthew Henry's Commentary. Let the reader beware.

Washington Mutual Investor Fund (in the American Funds Group): I like mutual funds because I personally don't wish to invest the time and energy to watch the Stock Market. Having been burned, however, by the bear market described below, I am personally tracking the market on almost a daily basis. I like WMIF because it has never invested in gambling, alcohol, or tobacco. Click here for a Prospectus. May 1, 2009 Caveat: Just what, not why. From about October 2007-February 2009 WMIF and most if not all other mutual funds fell victims to a very nasty bear market and lost about half their value. In March, 2009 the Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded significantly from a low of under 7,000. At its height the DJIA had been trading in the 13,000-14,000 area. If you don't have any idea why the stock market went down globally, you have no business investing in it. Suffice it to say that the stock market reflects accurately what is occurring politically, economically, and providentially. Buyer Beware!
