Salutations! In my endless travels through the world wide web I came across a nifty little web site called www.biblemap.org . On this page you can enter a Bible chapter and it will look up the geographical reference for you and put it on the map. For example, let's say you're reading Revelation 17:5, "And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: 'Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations'” (very end of the worldish eh?). So you ask yourself, "Self, where in the world is Babylon?". Before you would have to go to your trusty 20 lbs. library Atlas, do a geographical time conversion and after hours of research realize that Babylon is in modern day Iraq. Well no more my friend! Now you just log on, look up Revelation 17 and it provides you with a Babylon link, and "if you click it, the map will come" (not quite Field of Dreams but what the hay). It is still in the beta stages so be patient, but it should help make the Bible come alive a little more. Theologians attack! Happy searching.
