About

Prophets Guide

Features
Read full description

A Scripture study app with one golden rule: what is data — the text, Hebrew roots, connections — always stays distinct from what is a proposed reading. Interpretation is offered with its evidence, never imposed as a verdict. Discernment is yours. • Generate your guide: from the passage you are reading or a theme, in one go — weave, structure or layers, teaching and prayer • Hebrew interlinear with Strong's numbers across the Old Testament • Literary structure of passages: chiasmus, parallelism, leitwort — as proposals with evidence • Search verses the way you remember them: typo-tolerant, wording-aware, and always says what it searched • Share verses to your stories with backgrounds and typefaces • Weave verses into studies of your own, with nested outlines like paper studies • Symbol: bring a dream or a sign — you receive questions, never verdicts • Mirror: self-examination against the shepherd-servant portrait, no scores • Threads of the Heart: the themes you keep returning to, weighed by time • Your studies live on your phone and your own iCloud — you are their custodian • Spanish and English · No accounts · No ads Bible text: Reina-Valera 1909 and King James Version (public domain). The LDS canon —Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price— is included in public-domain English editions; the official Spanish translation is not public domain, so those passages appear in English, marked "EN". Search lets you choose Bible, LDS canon, or both.
