Bible podcasts, videos, blogs, printables, and more to help you know, trust, and apply the Bible.

Welcome to Bible805, where I have created a variety of resources for you to learn to know, trust, and apply the Bible.

One of my main emphases is to encourage and enable you to read through the Bible in Chronological, historical order. On this site, you’ll find schedules and commentary that will help you do that.

The only products mentioned or linked to on this site are ones I create including podcasts, videos, eBooks, Printables, Items in the Bibleverse Shop, and coming Resource Library. They are made to help you get the Bible into all your life and for the support of this site.

This site never has and never will take any advertising, in any way participate in affiliate or referral marketing, nor will I accept sponsorships of any kind. If I recommend something other than what I create, it is truly because I like it and not for any additional monetary reason.

Reading Schedules through the Bible in Chronological Historical order, plus free journaling pages

September 21, 2021 by bible805

Here is the new Chronological Bible Reading Schedule on one page, printed front and back. It makes it easy to print on one page and then put this into your Bible. There are also full-page versions included in the download. CLICK on the image to download the schedules.

I recently made some minor corrections in my schedule for reading through the Bible in Chronological, Historical order. Nothing huge, but I corrected a few typos and slightly changed the order of some of the prophets surrounding the Babylonian Captivity. CLICK the link HERE to download them: https://bible805.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/SET-of-Chronological-Bible-Reading-Schedules-by-Date-Numbered.pdf

Following is a link to download a PDF of free Bible Journaling pages: Journal pages

Below is a short video preview of the schedules and the journal pages.

There are schedules that are numbered and not dated, ones dated that you can use any year, and then ones that are dated. The numbered ones are useful if you start at a time other than the first of the year. The dated ones work well for starting at the beginning of the year. I personally download one of them and then like to highlight Sundays. That isn’t necessary for you to do, but it helps me keep track.

In addition to the minor corrections, I made condensed schedules that are contained on two instead of four pages. If you have a printer that prints on both sides of the paper you can fit the entire schedule on one piece of paper. This works well for you to make one-page reading schedules for yourself or for your church. You can make copies of any you’d like and share them.

Below is a podcast and links to a video of the reasons why I put the books in the order I did. All of it still applies in spite of my minor corrections. Please take a few minutes to watch the video if you haven’t as yet. I think the reasons why the readings are arranged the way they are is important for you to understand. Below them is a copy of the text for both.

Below is a Podcast on why I put the books into the order I put them in.

January 21, 2022 by bible805

Those are the questions we’ll answer in today’s lesson.

Plus the video has some FASCINATING material on the archeological discoveries in Ur, Abraham’s home country.

A Critique of anti-supernaturalist scholars AND a very important infographic on incorrect dating of Old Testament beliefs

January 3, 2022 by bible805

A critique of Scholars who don't believe the OT teaches Life after Death — The podcast, video, and notes on this topic are important for all your study in the Old Testament

Hi, I’m Yvon Prehn, and this is an incredibly important podcast, infographic, and video that I discovered I had not loaded up to the Bible805 podcast channel. It started out as added material to the podcast on Life After Death in the Old Testament. In addition to the podcast, I realized I also hadn’t posted this very important infographic that illustrates the critique that follows.

There following it the infographic, the podcast, video, and below them a little longer introduction before the notes of the podcast.

More introductory comments and why this was late in getting posted

In addition to an illustration of this lesson, I realized that the timeline I was putting together to show that faulty beliefs about the views of life after death in the Old Testament applied to much more than that one lesson. I felt at the time it was incredibly important for you to understand this as you study the Bible, but somehow in the last few crazy months with my undergoing major surgery 2 days before Thanksgiving, the usual holiday challenges, and Covid hovering over everything, the podcast and associated materials got lost.

As I was organizing the new year of lessons with added videos, notes, and questions for all, plus the new Resource Shop, I discovered it and found I had not posted it.

I also realized the importance of it in that this podcast not only shows the false conclusions of the scholars who say that people in the Old Testament did not believe in life after death, but it illustrates the bigger picture of why anti-supernaturalist scholars are incorrect in their commentary about the Bible in many areas.

Their mistakes have nothing to do with a belief or not in God or in the supernatural origin of scripture. They are simply about the dating of resources. They will use a source, for example from 70 AD to cite as a reason for a belief that scholars (secular and biblical) universally date hundreds of years earlier. I cannot ascribe motive, I do not know why they do this, but it is sloppy scholarship and misleading.

In my infographics which I discuss in the podcast, you will see the use of 4 Ezra (dated 70 AD) as the source of Old Testament beliefs (dated by even the most secular scholars)that were written almost five hundred years earlier, which obviously did not happen.

The faith of many people has been damaged by quotes from so-called scholars who call into question the supernatural aspects of the Bible based on quoting writers from times that have nothing to do with what they claim. Fortunately, our God can be trusted and if we take the time to simply look up universally agreed-upon dates for writings and then the messages he communicated them through his prophets.

I will mention more examples of the importance of dating various writings as we go through the Bible.

Below are the notes from the lesson.
