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 Message

But if not — let fire blaze out from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire roar out from the men of Shechem and from Beth-millo and devour Abimelech!'

F.O.GSecondary

The F.O.G

But if not — let fire come out from Avimelekh and consume the lords of Shekhem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the lords of Shekhem and from the house of Millo and consume Avimelekh!'

KJV

King James Version

But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.

BSB

Berean Standard Bible

But if not, may fire come from Abimelech and consume the leaders of Shechem and Beth-millo, and may fire come from the leaders of Shechem and Beth-millo and consume Abimelech.”

Footnotes

The fire imagery of the parable (v. 15) is now directly applied as prophetic oracle: just as the bramble threatened to consume the cedars, so Jotham declares mutual destruction between Abimelech and Shechem. The symmetry is precise — fire from Abimelech upon Shechem, then fire from Shechem upon Abimelech — and the chapter delivers both: the burning of the Tower of Shechem (v. 49) and Abimelech's own ruin at Thebez (v. 54). The narrator explicitly confirms the fulfilment in v. 57, transforming the parable and curse into the theological architecture of the entire narrative.
