It was bound to happen...
If you're a teacher of the Bible - or an avid student of it - there is a great resource tool I stumbled across recently that is put by Google (Google had done it once again).
It's called Bible Maps.
It allows you to type in any book and chapter in the Bible and uses Google earth to locate that Biblical place on the globe today.
It is still in Beta form, but its absolutely fascinating.
It has already enhanced my teaching preparation.
Check it out here.
thanks for the tip - fantastic resource. google's taking over the freakin' universe, eh?
peace and love and power to the people!

Just to give credit where credit is due, here is a quote from the about page on http://biblemap.org:
"BibleMap.org is developed by the duo at He Lives Ministries (HeLives.com). The motivation for developing the site was simple, create a free Bible atlas which harnesses Google maps. We hope this site will be a blessing to you and possibly help make the living book of the Bible more alive in your life."
Kudos to He Lives Ministries for making this great resource available!

Very cool. Used it today with a devotional on Isaiah 43 and it showed Israel and Babylon on the map. I wonder why King James and English Standard are the only translations? I'm becoming very partial to "The Message".
