This update includes an exciting new archeological discovery. In January of 2021 it was announced that archeologists had found purple fabric from the time of David and Solomon. Purple fabric is mentioned as a premiere luxury of the Old Testament time period. Purple dyed fabric is mentioned more than 50 times in Scripture. Having vivid purple fabric discovered shows the quality of such fabric from even fading over 3,000 years ago. This addition is our 164th artifact in the app. Enjoy experiencing the world of the Bible!

Thank you for everyone who is spreading word of the app! It's been in the App Store for years but is getting more downloads than ever!   This is a purely content update. Several descriptions have been moved from the ISBE lengthy descriptions to more straightforward descriptions throughout the app. The Smith Bible Dictionary was used heavily for many succinct location descriptions.

In Revelation 2:13 Jesus mentions to the church in Pergamum that they live in the city of Satan's Throne. That throne has been discovered and for over a hundred years it's been in a museum in Berlin, Germany. The app adds the "Pergamum Altar" in this update. Simply go to Revelation 2 in the app to see this incredible artifact. Additionally, all 118 locations mentioned in the book of Acts now has photos for each location in the app. Thank you so much for using the app! I hope you enjoy the update.

Addition of a great artifact found in 1984 which shows the silversmith guild in Ephesus which fought against Paul in Acts 19 was alive and well even still a hundred years after Paul passed through town. Find the artifact in the app by searching "silversmith" in the artifact tab or by simply going to Acts 19 then going to the artifact tab. Also added many more locations to Numbers 34 where the Lord is showing Moses the boundary of the promised land. The app does a great job quickly letting you see and explore the boundaries of the land. Hope you enjoy this update!

This is the David's mighty men update! David's 37 mighty men came from 35 different places. Some of the places are ancient empires (like the Hittites) and others are cities, villages and regions. This update gives information for every location of his mighty men, photos from every place and also any artifacts in any museum in the world that supports these 37 mighty men. There are currently 9 artifacts in the app that help confirm these events. Update the app and then go to 2 Samuel 23 to engage this section of Scripture!

This update is a purely photographic update. It adds several photos to the locations mentioned in the Bible. We are working toward having at least one photo for every one of the 770+ locations mentioned in the Bible. Some of the locations have many photos preserving a photo archive as many locations have changed quite a bit over the last 150 years. Enjoy engaging the world of the Bible.
