I wanted to share a website I just found out about, Bible Geocoding. This website has mapped “every identifiable place mentioned in the Bible” using Google Earth and/or Google Maps. The site is very straightforward and easy to use. Each book of the Bible is listed and within each book, each chapter is broken out. Click the preview link and all of the mentioned locations will load into Google Maps. Click the KML link and a Google Earth file will download to your computer and open Google Earth to show the locations mentioned. Zoom in, shown modern country borders, zoom out to see the entire region. All of the features of Google Earth and Google Maps can help you see and explore these wonderful places, just as they appear today. This could be a great tool for Bible classes and teaching situations. Check it out here.
