Paul's Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference — going word-by-word through Scripture to reclaim the Ancient Near East context, romance, and mystery that modern translations often leave behind.

Only about 3% of people around the world who start the Bible ever finish it. The 3% Club is for those ready to break that cycle — reading the entire Bible at their own pace, backed by community and tools built to make finishing not just possible, but inevitable. You also get a certificate to celebrate your achievement.

Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.

Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.

Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

F.O.G.MPrimary

F.O.G Message

So let all Your enemies perish, Yahweh! But may those who love Him shine like the sun rising in its full strength. And the land was at rest for forty years.

The F.O.G

So may all Your enemies perish, O YHWH! But may those who love Him be like the sun rising in its might. And the land rested for forty years.

KJV

King James Version

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

BSB

Berean Standard Bible

So may all Your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.

Footnotes

The closing benediction contrasts two destinies: enemies who *yovedu* ('perish/are destroyed') and lovers of God who shine like *tseit hashemesh bigvurato* ('the sun going forth in its might/strength'). The sun rising in *gevurah* (warrior-strength) is both natural image and royal-messianic symbol — Psalm 19:5-6 and Malachi 4:2 use identical solar imagery for triumphant, healing power. The 'forty years' of rest (*vatishqot ha'arets*) echoes the wilderness generation's rhythms, marking YHWH's restoration of covenantal shalom. FOG preserves Hebrew brevity; FOG Message uses 'full strength' to draw out the solar radiance of those who love God.
