See past and present boundaries

Where was Ur? Or Haran? The map quickly shows you that Ur was located in present day Iran and the ruins of Haran, also known as Harran, are in present day Turkey.

Know the reason events happened as they did

Terah took Abraham and his family all the way up to Haran (in Turkey) before Abraham eventually headed to Canaan.  Why not take the shorter route in a straight line from Ur to Canaan?

The map makes it obvious.  They were following the rivers rather than head across an almost endless tract of desert.  That made sense since they must have had herds of animals.  (One class used this as a Bible study discussion:  When has God taken you the long way around to the promised blessing?)

Understand the impact of the social, political and religious background

The map shows that Jonah passed ports in Israel to catch a ship from a port in the Philistine territory.  Why?

Many people in that day and age believed each nation had it’s own God.

Did Jonah think that if he left Israel God would have no power over him?

Easily measure how far Paul, the Israelites, Christ or Abraham traveled

Have you ever wondered how far Abraham had to chase after the enemies who kidnapped Lot.  Using the map measuring tool you find it’s about 125 miles (201 kilometers.)  Then he and his men chased the enemy for another 50 miles (80 km).

When you read the story of Naomi moving from Bethlehem to Moab and then back with Ruth, the journey there and back is long.  After hearing the story, when asked to guess how far apart the two areas are, many youth guess hundreds of miles/kilometers.
It’s only thirty miles but a huge cultural gulf away.  Today we cover thirty miles in a quick car trip.  During Biblical times, it was days of journeying.

Brings the Bible vividly to life – makes it feel real

How did Joseph’s brothers see him coming “afar off?”  Was the appearance of those traders who bought Joseph an unlikely coincidence?  Topographic detail on a map shows the land is a series of high and low desert places where, from a ridge top, his brothers could easily see Joseph coming from far off, especially given the vibrant colors of his coat.  A map shows the well-traveled trade routes between ancient middle eastern kingdoms and Egypt.  It would have been stranger if a trade caravan had NOT appeared.

Seeing the Biblical places on a map helps you understand today’s conflicts better

The West Bank is a source of constant conflict today. This conflict goes back to Biblical times.  David, a desert dweller, built his palace right next to the best source of water. Whoever controls the West Bank controls access to the water. That is why it is a source of contention today.
