A Crucial Step in the Animating Process: Color Grading
NOV 14, 2024iBIBLE Life of Christ, a 3D-animated rendering of the Gospel Narrative, is currently being color graded to help bring the visual details fully to life! The process of bringing God's Grand Narrative to life involves multiple steps, and at RevelationMedia, we believe iBIBLE should be as vivid, detailed, and richly colored and textured as possible.VIEW MORE -

NOV 07, 2024Christmas is once again right around the corner! Keep an eye out for the special iBIBLE episode The Real Story of Christmas, coming soon.

The Upper Room
OCT 31, 2024The upper room is the place where Jesus spent the final hours before His crucifixion, dining and conversing with His disciples and reminding them all about the necessary steps of obedience He had to take to restore mankind.

Pilate's Place
OCT 10, 2024Pontius Pilate, who would eventually approve of Jesus' crucifixion, did not want to be the Roman governor of Israel. But Israel is what he got, and he inherited a country with a long, rich history, now conquered by the world's strongest empire, and with a lot of upheaval due to a mysterious man from Nazareth named Jesus.VIEW MORE -
The Shepherds' Set
OCT 03, 2024If you've been following us on the 3D journey through the world of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels, you know that our team at RevelationMedia has been busy designing and building characters, landscapes, and key settings for the next installment of iBIBLE, called Life of Christ.VIEW MORE -
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
SEP 26, 2024Alexandria was the most important city in the Roman Empire besides Rome itself in the days of Jesus. A major city of trade, commerce, and culture, it was originally founded by Alexander the Great, the Greek who conquered much of the ancient world, and went on to be a major center of early Christianity.VIEW MORE -
Herod's Palace in Jerusalem
SEP 12, 2024Herod's palace in Jerusalem is no longer standing, but it was a central and towering edifice during the days of Jesus. The iBIBLE 3D set of the palace during the lifetime of Christ was compiled using multiple historic and contemporary resources. Archaeology and ancient records provide details about the dimensions and designs of King Herod's "blueprints," and the Jewish historian Josephus gave helpful information about the compound's grandeur. Here are some behind-the-scenes images and a moving GIF of the interior of the palace in Jerusalem from an upcoming episode of iBIBLE Life of Christ.VIEW MORE -
The City of Rome
SEP 05, 2024The Gospel Narrative occurred when the land of Israel was occupied by the Roman Empire, one of the largest imperial forces in human history.

Below, see the 3D-rendered images of the city of Rome, which will be featured in the upcoming iBIBLE Life of Christ.VIEW MORE -

The Wilderness Where Jesus was Tempted by the Devil
AUG 22, 2024Before Jesus began His ministry, He was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit where He fasted for forty days and forty nights (see Matthew 4:1-11). During that time, the devil appeared to Jesus and tempted Him, trying to sway Him from God's Word and deter Him from His divine mission to restore humanity. However, Jesus stayed true to His Father, and eventually the devil fled. In this week's behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of iBIBLE, see the arid wilderness that likely resembles the area Jesus would have been tempted in.VIEW MORE -
John the Baptist in Early Childhood
AUG 15, 2024If you've been following the behind-the-scenes updates recently, you've seen a few of the many key locations in the Gospel narrative that the RevelationMedia art team is currently building.

Today, see John the Baptist in the early childhood stage.VIEW MORE -
Caesar's Palace
AUG 08, 2024While most of the scenes from iBIBLE Life of Christ take place in Judea and the surrounding regions, where Jesus performed His ministry, the Roman Empire and its influence looms in the background of the Gospel Narrative. Augustus Caesar was in power when Jesus was born (he died in 14 A.D.), and presided over the Roman Empire, which at the time lay claim to territory in Europe, Asia Minor, the Mediterranean, and even parts of Egypt. Augustus ruled over one of the largest empires in human history, and here is a 3D look at his palace.VIEW MORE -
The City of Capernaum
AUG 01, 2024Capernaum was a fishing town located on the northwestern shores of the Sea of Galilee. The town appears multiple times in the Gospel narratives. It's where Jesus called Peter, Andrew, and Matthew to be His disciples, and is also where He performed many of His miracles and spent a lot of His time (see Matthew 4, Mark 2, and Luke 5). As a highly relevant location, the art team at RevelationMedia have been designing and building the city in the new 3D animation style. See these developing images of Capernaum that will be featured in iBIBLE Life of Christ, which is set to release later this year.VIEW MORE -
The Cliff Outside Nazareth
JUL 25, 2024When Jesus visited His hometown of Nazareth and read from the scroll of Isaiah, He told them that the reading had been fulfilled in their presence (Luke 4:21b). Jesus was declaring Himself as the fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy. Even though He was in His hometown, the local residents of Nazareth were infuriated by this, and drove Jesus all the way to the edge of a cliff. However, Jesus stepped through the crowd unharmed (Luke 4:38-30).VIEW MORE -
First Look at Bethlehem
JUL 18, 2024Bethlehem, the city where Jesus was born, was just a small village about one hundred miles away from Mary and Joseph's hometown of Nazareth. After the Roman census was decreed (see Luke 2:1), they had to make the hazardous journey to Joseph's ancestral city to be counted. See the first look of Bethlehem in the new 3D style in this behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of iBIBLE!VIEW MORE -
A Camel and Its Baby
JUL 11, 2024Along with important locations in the 3D-animated iBIBLE Life of Christ, the art team at RevelationMedia also gets to go through all the different forms of plants, types of landscapes, and yes, animals that would have been common in Israel and the surrounding region. Today, check out this 3D-animated camel and its baby that will be featured in the upcoming installment of iBIBLE!VIEW MORE -
Jerusalem on the Wise Men's Journey
JUL 04, 2024Now that iBIBLE Life of Christ is in production, the art team is designing and building key New Testament locations that will be featured in the episodes. A major location is the city of Jerusalem, and is where many important parts of the Gospel story take place, including Jesus' triumphal entry, His cleansing of the Temple, and His eventual death sentence at the hands of Pontius Pilate. The immense importance of this ancient city to the Jewish people can never be overstated! In this behind-the-scenes look into the making of iBIBLE, see the city of Jerusalem through the eyes of the wise men on their travels to witness the birth of Jesus.VIEW MORE -
Joseph's House

Golgotha, "Place of the Skull"

The Synagogue in Nazareth
JUN 13, 2024This week's behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of iBIBLE draws from another developing scene from one of the upcoming iBIBLE Life of Christ episodes that will begin releasing later this year. Let's take a look at the interior of the synagogue in Jesus' hometown of Nazareth. This location is where Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah, predicting the coming of the Messiah. After He read, Jesus sat down and said, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing" (Luke 4:17–21).VIEW MORE -
The 3D Manger Scene in Both Night and Day
JUN 06, 2024The manger scene has been depicted in various ways throughout history, oftentimes with Jesus, Joseph, and Mary taking shelter in a kind of stable.

"Here I Am"
SEP 22, 2022The journey of scriptwriting for iBIBLE continues as the team works our way through the book of Genesis. As scripts are written and weighed against key Bible translations, there are times when the various translations of Scripture present different wordings. Ensuring the accuracy of every word and phrase in iBIBLE is incredibly important, so when the translations differ, our team of researchers must dive deeper into the meaning of the text. And, as you will see, this leads us back to the original text. Today we look at a recent example from the script of Abraham's story.VIEW MORE -

The Septuagint
AUG 25, 2022iBIBLE scripts are created using only the Bible as its source, so it is incredibly important that we use only the best materials possible.

For this reason, iBIBLE includes memory verses taken directly from Scripture at the end of every chapter. These verses are carefully chosen, and when completed, they will weave together to cover the full story of the Bible. Let's look at this process today.VIEW MORE -

Illustrating God
MAR 10, 2022As we bring the first visual and interactive Bible to the whole world, we have an opportunity to share who God is with people who have never heard. With a visual Bible comes an interesting question: How do we illustrate our Creator? Scripture is clear about two things: 1: No man has seen God at any time and lived: "But" [God] said, "you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live." —Exodus 33:20 [ESV] 2: Yet, God has revealed Himself to many people in the Bible in many forms. For example, He appeared to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden: And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. —Genesis 3:8VIEW MORE -

Chapter 1 Video Sample -"Creation"
APR 08, 2021Today, we are happy to share the sixth prerelease of iBIBLE with you. In past weeks, we have shown you "The Great Flood (Parts 1 and 2)," "The Fall," "The Tower of Babel," and "Cain and Abel." This time, we go back all the way to the beginning with Chapter 1.VIEW MORE -
The Biblical Timeline
APR 01, 2021Have you ever wondered how the timeline of different events in the Bible could impact the narrative? In the Scriptures, a few verses may represent moments in time, days, years, or even decades! To understand the true narrative, it is imperative that we consider the timeline of events that occur in the Bible.VIEW MORE -
Chapter 3 Video Sample -"Cain and Abel"
MAR 25, 2021Welcome to our fifth prerelease of iBIBLE. Previously, we have shown you "The Great Flood (Parts 1 and 2)," "The Fall," and "The Tower of Babel." Today, we present Chapter 3: "Cain and Abel." In this story, we see the events leading up to the murder of Abel by his brother Cain, and the events that followed.VIEW MORE -
Creating a Chronological Narrative
MAR 18, 2021If you have read much of the Bible, you are probably aware that it is not always presented in chronological order. Sometimes this is obvious, and other times it can be less clear. The goal of iBIBLE is to reveal the one true narrative of Scripture from Genesis to the final Revelation. Today, let's explore how the narrative of Scripture comes together in iBIBLE.VIEW MORE -
Chapter 5 Video Sample -"The Great Flood (Part 2)"
MAR 11, 2021At the end of Chapter 4, Noah, his family, and all the animals were floating safely on the ark. Nearly a year passed before God called Noah out of the ark and established a covenant with him, all of mankind, and all of creation. God also gave His people new direction, instilled fear of mankind into all wild animals, and set his bow in the sky as a reminder of His covenant.VIEW MORE -
Seventy Times Seven: A Look at Lamech
MAR 04, 2021While illustrating iBIBLE, we have the privilege of taking a closer look at some of the more unusual passages of Scripture, and we get the opportunity to reflect on aspects that we may not have considered before.VIEW MORE -
Chapter 6 Video Sample -"The Tower of Babel"
FEB 24, 2021After the flood, God instructed the people to scatter about the earth (Gen. 9:1, and again in Gen. 9:7). However, in Genesis 11, they defied God's clear instruction to fill the earth and instead stayed together in one place. At the Tower of Babel, they united to make a name for themselves.VIEW MORE -
Chapter 2 Video Sample -"The Fall"
FEB 11, 2021In this chapter, we show the events of the Fall, when sin entered into the world through Adam and Eve. This event instantly altered the relationship that humans and God shared. It is no understatement to say that this event changed absolutely everything! As you watch this special prerelease, you can see the stunning artwork that helps bring God's Word to life.VIEW MORE -
From the Daughters of Lot to King David
FEB 04, 2021When we look at the entire Biblical narrative, we see how many of these seemingly unrelated events fit together. We also see how God can still use His people to accomplish His purposes despite their sinful and immoral acts. One such event involved the daughters of Lot, their offspring, and the lineage of David.VIEW MORE -
Chapter 4 Video Sample -"The Great Flood (Part 1)"
JAN 28, 2021Last Sunday, we shared our prerelease edit of iBIBLE Chapter 4: "The Great Flood (Part 1)." We are excited to now include it in our Behind the Scenes updates.

The version for the phone app will also include the ability for the user to turn each page at their own pace as they engage with God's Word.VIEW MORE -
The Great Flood (Part 1)
JAN 28, 2021You can see the beautiful artwork that helps bring God's Word to life! What you cannot see is that the script follows the Scriptures as closely as possible in a narrative format.VIEW MORE -
Sister or Wife?
JAN 21, 2021As we make our way through the entire Divine narrative, illustrating the iBIBLE, there are some unusual events that must be animated. For example, two times in Scripture, Abram said that his wife Sarai was his sister. And later, his son, Isaac, did the same with his own wife. Let's look at why they conceived of such ruses, and what happened next. The first time this happened was after Abram left Haran at 75 years old. Abram, his wife Sarai, and their tribe traveled around Canaan, pitched their tents, fed their flocks, and journeyed on. While traveling, they received a promise from God that He would give this land to Abram's descendants. But then, trouble came: Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.—Gen. 12:10 [ESV] As they approached the formidable empire of Egypt, Abram turned to his wife with an unusual request: When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, "I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.' Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake. —Gen. 12:11–13VIEW MORE -
Esau and Jacob (Part 2: The Elder Shall Serve the Younger)
JAN 14, 2021After Esau sold his birthright to Jacob, years went by, and many events happened: Isaac's tribe traveled, settled in various places, and Esau even married two local women. As time went by, Isaac was so old that he became nearly blind. He began to get his affairs in order, and it was time for him to pass on his blessing. Blessings would be given to each of his children, but the most important blessing was always given to the firstborn.VIEW MORE -
Esau and Jacob (Part 1: Birth of Two Nations)
JAN 07, 2021In our last iBIBLE "Behind the Scenes," we looked at the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. We know that Rebekah was unable to bear children, so Isaac cried out to God for help. After nearly 20 years of marriage, by the grace of God, Rebekah became pregnant with twins. However, the children struggled in Rebekah's womb. She said, "If it is thus, why is this happening to me?" (Gen. 25:22, ESV) and went to the Lord in prayer. And the Lord said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger." —Gen. 25:23VIEW MORE -
The Life of Isaac (Part Four)
DEC 29, 2020Isaac was 37 years old and without a wife when his mother Sarah passed away. After her death, Isaac's father Abraham sought to obtain a wife for him. Abraham did not want Isaac to marry one of the Canaanites (they were not God's chosen people), but wanted him to take a wife from his father's family that had remained in Haran instead.VIEW MORE -
The Life of Isaac (Part Three: God Will Provide)
DEC 17, 2020God had referred to Isaac as Abraham's "only son, whom you love." He knew how hard this command to sacrifice his son would be to carry out. Now the time had come. As Abraham and Isaac arrived at the mountains of Moriah, Abraham instructed the men who were traveling with them to remain behind, and asked Isaac to carry the firewood for the burnt offering. Isaac and Abraham began climbing the mountain together.VIEW MORE -
The Life of Isaac (Part Two: The Sacrifice)
DEC 10, 2020Abraham had waited 25 years for God's promise of a son to be fulfilled. Sarah, Abraham's wife, miraculously gave birth to Isaac at 99 years old! God had promised that Abraham's descendants would be like the stars of the sky and sands of the sea. How could this test from God possibly make sense to Abraham? Wouldn't it contradict all that God had previously promised if he were to obey and sacrifice his son? However, Abraham knew God's voice well, so he proceeded without delay to carry out the task that God had asked him to complete. He had total trust in his Creator.VIEW MORE -
The Life of Isaac (Part One)
DEC 03, 202025 years after God gave Abraham the promise, it was fulfilled! Abraham was 100 years old when his wife Sarah, age 90, gave birth to a son: The Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did to Sarah as he had promised. And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age at the time of which God had spoken to him. Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore him, Isaac. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. —Gen. 21:1–5 [ESV]VIEW MORE -
Hagar: The Egyptian Servant (Part Two)
NOV 24, 2020Last week, we introduced the story of Hagar, the Egyptian servant of Sarai. Sarai had given Hagar to her husband Abram to serve as a surrogate mother. Once pregnant with Abram's child, she began to treat Sarai with contempt. This led to a conflict between Sarai and Hagar, and resulted in Hagar fleeing into the wilderness. There, an angel of the Lord spoke to her: "Return to your mistress and submit to her…I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude…Behold, you are pregnant and shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because the Lord has listened to your affliction." —Gen. 16:9–11 [ESV] excerptedVIEW MORE -
Hagar: The Egyptian Servant (Part One)
NOV 19, 2020It's hard not to wonder what went through the minds of Abram and Sarai while they waited, year after year, for the son God had promised. How would God fulfill this promise? Every year Sarai advances in age, making it (humanly) less likely, or even impossible to bear a child. We know that at a certain point Sarai goes to Abram with a solution: she offers her servant Hagar as a surrogate mother: Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. She had a female Egyptian servant whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said to Abram, "Behold now, the Lord has prevented me from bearing children. Go in to my servant; it may be that I shall obtain children by her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai. So, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her servant, and gave her to Abram her husband as a wife. And he went into Hagar, and she conceived. —Gen. 16:1–4 [ESV]VIEW MORE -
The Son of the Promise
NOV 13, 2020To faithfully illustrate the promise of God to provide Abram with a son, we begin by mapping out a 25-year timeline. The first indication of the promise is when God calls Abram out of Mesopotamia. Abram is 75 years old at this time: Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." —Gen. 12:1–4 [ESV]VIEW MORE -
A Tale of Two Kings
NOV 05, 2020As Abram returned from the attack, he was met by two kings: the king of Sodom, and the king of Salem. The king of Salem, Melchizedek, was called a priest of God Most High. Not much is known about Melchizedek, though he is mentioned a few times in Scripture. Most notably, he uniquely serves as both a king AND a priest.VIEW MORE -
Noah's Vineyard
OCT 29, 2020After emerging from the ark and receiving the new covenant from God, Noah settles down and begins to work the land. In iBIBLE Chapter 4, we see this event come to fruition. Though Noah is most famously known for the story of Noah's Ark, there is another part of his story that is often not told. He is also the subject of the first story of intoxication.VIEW MORE -
The First Instruments
OCT 22, 2020As the descendants of mankind begin to populate the earth, we see creativity and ingenuity come into play. In iBIBLE Chapter 3, we encounter the first musical instruments. Instruments will be a recurring theme in iBIBLE. Many well-known characters in Scripture used instruments in spontaneous praise of God, in daily temple worship, and even in battle.VIEW MORE -
Creating a Single Page of iBIBLE
OCT 16, 2020From script to animatics, from animation to final render, there are many steps that go into a single page of the iBIBLE. Today, we will give you an overview of the workflow and creativity that is necessary to produce one single page spread (left and right hand page).VIEW MORE -
The First Murder Weapon
OCT 08, 2020When we read the story of Cain and Abel, we can't help but feel devastated at the reality of sin—that mankind had fallen so far in just one generation that a murder would occur. The task of the iBIBLE team is to bring this story to life with Biblical accuracy. In this case, not a lot of information about the specifics of the first murder are given. We do know that Cain attacked his brother and killed him, but the question for our team was: how do we depict this in iBIBLE? This is a difficult subject to delve into, but in order to accurately portray the stories in iBIBLE, we have to consider all of the factors that would be shown in the animation carefully.VIEW MORE -
With Bricks and Mortar
SEP 24, 2020When illustrating this narrative for Chapter 5 of iBIBLE, we had to consider these questions: Why was God so opposed to the Tower of Babel? How was it made? And, where was it made?VIEW MORE -
The Restoration of Job
SEP 17, 2020Over the past few weeks, we have looked closer at the tribulation of Job in chapters 6 and 7 of the Behind The Scenes of iBIBLE series. This week is the conclusion to this series. In review, Job's three friends tried to convince Job that he had sinned, and that his sin had resulted in his suffering. They contended that God would never let a righteous man suffer. Elihu comes on the scene and doesn't agree with Job's three friends, stating that Job's failure came when he attributed righteousness to himself, rather than to God, his Creator. It is then that God speaks and challenges Job, who had dared to question God. Job responds to the Lord in repentance.VIEW MORE -
God Responds
SEP 10, 2020In the past weeks, we looked at the conversation between Job and his friends. So many questions, hypotheses, and thoughts are given about why God allowed Job to suffer in this way. In the end, Job actually states that he wants the Almighty to answer him!VIEW MORE -
Elihu
SEP 03, 2020Over the past few weeks, we have presented a behind-the-scenes look at the creation and animation of Job in iBIBLE. This week we will look at Elihu. We do not know very much about Elihu, but we do know that he is younger than the others, and that he is the son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram. We do not know when he arrived to speak to Job, or when he departed, and interestingly, there is no record of him being rebuked by God as Job's other three friends were. Naturally, this brings about many questions: was Elihu a fourth friend of Job? Was he a type of Christ? Was he God's messenger? Or, was he someone else altogether? The best part of producing the Biblical narrative is that we don't necessarily have to answer these questions. We reserve these difficult questions and answers for pastors, teachers, and theologians. Our job in producing iBIBLE is to present the narrative: the events that happened as revealed in Scripture.VIEW MORE -
Job's Friends Part 2: Bildad and Zophar
AUG 27, 2020Job has suffered immensely, and his friends have gathered to support him. We looked first at his friend, Eliphaz who believed that God was punishing Job for his sins. Let's take a look at Job's friends Bildad and Zophar as they also try to understand what happened to Job and argue that suffering is punishment for sin and prosperity is reward for righteousness.VIEW MORE -
Job's Friends Part 1: Eliphaz
AUG 20, 2020Job's friends have seen him suffer horribly, and they gather to try to comfort him. From chapters 4 to 31, Job conversed with his friends about the meaning of suffering. Ultimately the theories of his friends were unsatisfactory and aligned with some of the same theories people often have today.VIEW MORE -
The Tribulations of Job
AUG 13, 2020As the book of Job opens, we see a "blameless and upright man, one who feared God, and turned away from evil." If suffering is intended as a punishment for evil, Job would not be a recipient. The first chapter of Job is not even finished when Job's calamity begins. Within the realm of a single day, all Job had was in ruins and his world thrown upside down. His ten children and most of his servants were dead. His 11,000 head of livestock, gone. Yet, in all of this, Job's integrity did not fail him.VIEW MORE -
Who is in Control?
AUG 06, 2020Setting the stage for the story of Job that is about to unfold, we see a scene that challenges our understanding: an exchange between God and Satan; with the fate of a man in the balance. The Scripture sets the stage: the angels present themselves before the Lord. One thing is immediately clear. God is taking an active and involved role in specific situations on earth.VIEW MORE -
Honoring Job's Wife
JUL 30, 2020As the story of Job unfolds, we clearly see a man that suffered at the hands of Satan. The extent of his affliction includes losing his wealth, his children, his reputation, and even his health. But what of Job's wife? Some who recall the story have assumed she dies along with their children, or that she was angry and defiant to God.VIEW MORE -
Tar Pits
JUL 23, 2020As the story comes to life in iBIBLE chapter 9, we see a compelling scene playout: a battle between many different armies in a rich valley surrounded by hills ... with tar/bitumen pits.VIEW MORE -
Lineage of Jesus
JUL 16, 2020When reading the genealogy of Jesus, truth be told, many of us see a puzzling list. It's easy to skim over it searching for the real story of Jesus's grandness to begin. We know the names were people, but perhaps we don't know about their lives or even struggle to pronounce their names. The story of Jesus, though, doesn't begin with the nativity. It begins in Genesis—and understanding the grandeur, grace, and greatness of our God comes in knowing the story that has unfolded throughout the Old Testament.VIEW MORE -
Warrior Chieftain
JUL 09, 2020In Genesis chapter 14 we read of the war of nine Kings, in which Sodom is defeated. After their defeat, the city was looted, and the inhabitants were taken away to be slaves. One of those inhabitants was Abram's nephew Lot.VIEW MORE -
Remember Lot's Wife
JUL 02, 2020As Jesus spoke of the cataclysmic events that would take place in the end times, he brought to our attention the destruction of a city destroyed in the book of Genesis: Sodom. Specifically, he called on his disciples to "remember Lot's wife" who was transformed into a pillar of salt when she looked back at the destruction befalling Sodom.VIEW MORE -
Sitting at the Gate
JUN 25, 2020A strange declaration by the inhabitants of Sodom. Was Lot a judge in Sodom, or was this just their way of saying "you think you're better than us"? This is a question the team asked as we animated iBIBLE chapters 9 and 10.VIEW MORE -
The Lay of the Land
JUN 18, 2020Abraham walked, talked, sacrificed, fought, rescued, prayed, defended, and forged his faith throughout his journeys nearly 40 centuries ago. In iBIBLE chapters 8, 9, 10, and 11, we travel with Abraham, and we cover a lot of ground!VIEW MORE -
Crossing the Euphrates
JUN 11, 2020When Jacob left Haran, he was in a hurry. He knew that he needed to get as much distance as possible between himself and Laban. But he was not alone. In Chapter 14 of iBIBLE we had to answer a big question. How did Jacob cross the Euphrates river, with all he brought as he fled from Laban?VIEW MORE -
Walking With God
JUN 04, 2020Abraham's relationship with God was of such intimacy that he thoroughly understood His character and purpose. He knew God, because he had relationship with him. We see this relationship play out in iBIBLE chapters 9 and 10.VIEW MORE -
Behold Now Behemoth
MAY 21, 2020Two great creatures, Behemoth and Leviathan, are described by God in Job. Some commentators have suggested Behemoth was an elephant or hippo, but the description simply doesn't match. In iBIBLE chapter 07 the second half of the book of Job comes to life. How then did we determine the design of the mighty Behemoth?VIEW MORE -
The City of Haran
MAY 14, 2020In the time period of the patriarchs, there are few locations that carry as much of the story as the city of Haran. Terah, Abram's father, passed away and was buried there. Isaac's wife, Rebekah, lived in Haran, and Jacob stayed in Haran for over two decades working under his uncle, Laban.VIEW MORE -
Creating the Well Near Haran
MAY 07, 2020As we bring the iBIBLE to life and animate the story of Jacob, the well is a key component to uncover. What did the wells look like? How did they operate? What was the purpose of the large stone Jacob rolled away? How did a person water their flock at a well? Did the animals drink from a bucket, was there a trough nearby, or was there some part of the well that allowed the animals to drink?VIEW MORE -
Mandrakes in Genesis
MAY 01, 2020The story of Rachel, Leah and Jacob unfolds in Genesis Chapter 29. In their story, we see the importance of bearing children. When Rachel sees Leah has mandrakes, she trades her night with Jacob in exchange for them.VIEW MORE -
The Blade of Job
APR 16, 2020When we read Job's response to his suffering, our hearts marvel at his trust in God and his acceptance of a loss that is so deeply painful, almost unimaginable. The task in front of the iBIBLE team is to bring this to life, with Biblical accuracy, for the people of the world. And the questions we wouldn't think to ask must now be explored.VIEW MORE
