About BibleGlobe
See the world exactly as the ancient scriptures describe it — now in English and Spanish. BibleGlobe is an interactive 3D visualization of the earth built ONLY from what the source texts actually say — word for word, verse by verse. No interpretations. No opinions. Just the texts. NOW IN SPANISH Every screen, card and heading in English or Spanish — switch any time. In Spanish, Bible verses are quoted from the Reina-Valera 1909; other ancient texts keep their English public-domain translation, clearly labeled. EXPLORE THE ANCIENT COSMOS IN 3D Rotate, zoom and explore a living model of the world as described in the Hebrew Bible, the Quran and the Greek New Testament: • The circle of the earth (חוּג — Isaiah 40:22), spread out like a carpet (Quran 71:19) • The four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:12, Revelation 7:1) • The solid firmament above (רָקִיעַ — Genesis 1:6–8) • The waters above the firmament (Genesis 1:7) • The pillars and foundations of the earth (1 Samuel 2:8, Psalms 104:5) • The mountains set as tent pegs (Quran 78:7) • And at the same time — the earth "hangs over nothing" (Job 26:7) TAP ANYTHING — GET THE EXACT VERSE Every part of the model opens the original text in Hebrew, Arabic or Greek, with translation and exact source reference. 396 PLACES FROM THE TEXTS ON A REAL MAP From Eden, Ararat and Babylon to Jerusalem, Mecca, Uppsala and La Tène — pinned on Apple Maps, color-coded by source. Each pin opens the exact quote naming the place, with an honest confidence rating: certain, probable or disputed. TWENTY-FOUR SOURCE TEXTS, SIDE BY SIDE The Hebrew Tanakh, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Quran, the Greek New Testament, the Targum, the Talmud, the Bhagavad Gita, the Rig Veda, the Upanishads, the Dhammapada, the Pali Canon, Enoch, Jubilees, the Apostolic Fathers, the Latin Vulgate, the Poetic and Prose Edda, the Mabinogion, Homer and Hesiod — every quote traceable to its source. 20 BOOKS LEFT OUT OF THE BIBLE — READ IN FULL DEPTH The Apocrypha still in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, 1 Enoch and Jubilees which remain scripture in Ethiopia, the Gnostic gospels and the New Testament apocrypha. For every book: what it says, verbatim quotations, who still holds it as scripture, and why it is not in most Bibles. THE NAMES OF GOD, THE PROPHETS, THE WATCHERS Sixteen names of God from their first occurrence, 68 prophets with their graves, the 200 Watchers of Enoch beside 202 confirmed impact craters, and Yeshua's family tree drawn with its sources. COMMON THREADS The same questions — the shape of the world, heavenly beings, the flood, food, the awaited anointed one — answered side by side across every tradition, in their own words. A HISTORY LAYER, IF YOU WANT IT An optional layer of 2,200+ historical events and figures, each labeled "historical record, not from the source texts." HONEST BY DESIGN Where the texts say nothing, the app says nothing. Where a location is uncertain, the app tells you. Where something is later tradition, the app says so. No account. No ads. No tracking. Works offline (map tiles need a connection).
What’s new
Version 4.0 · Updated October 15, 2026
A TIMELINE ON THE MAP Drag the new slider on the map to move through time, from the creation accounts to the early church. Each event shows its year as three old chronologies counted it: the Jewish Seder Olam, Eusebius, and Archbishop Ussher. Each year comes with the page it is taken from. Places that belong to the moment stay bright. HOW THE APOSTLES DIED A new section in The 12 Apostles covers the Twelve, Matthias, Paul, and James the brother of the Lord. For each one it gives every account, oldest first: what the New Testament says, what the early writers say, and what later tradition added. It says where and why each death happened according to each source. The places are on the map, and historical engravings sit behind a button. FOUR NEW THEMES The Tree of Life and the Name. Creatures of the World. The Ranks of Angels. Relics and the Historical Jesus. Each page quotes its sources word for word and keeps the scriptures, later tradition and modern scholarship apart. Places named in the texts are shown on a map. FOUR NEW BOOKS Books Left Out now has the Gospel of Philip, the Apocalypse of Peter, the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and the story of the Secret Gospel of Mark, each read in depth with its sources. SPANISH FROM HISTORIC EDITIONS More quotations in Spanish now come from historic public-domain Spanish editions instead of new translations. ALSO IN THIS VERSION From Adam to Yeshua: a family tree of more than 2,800 people from the Hebrew Bible, plus the two genealogies of Jesus, each with the verse that names them. Latter-day Saints: 200 texts from early editions and 200 history entries on the map. Everything is in English and Spanish.
