every316 One Year Bible Study Schedule

Series Roadmap (High-Level Outline) with full text of every 3:16 for study planning:

Here is the complete list of Bible verses at 3:16 in canonical order (Old Testament through New Testament, following the standard Protestant KJV canon of 66 books). I've included only books that actually have a chapter 3 with a verse 16—many shorter books don't (e.g., no 3:16 in Ruth, Philemon, 2 John, 3 John, or Jude, as confirmed from cross-referenced sources).

For each, I've given:

- The KJV text (poetic and rhythmic, as you prefer for initial reading and reflection).

- A brief interlinear-style note (key Hebrew/Greek words with Strong's numbers where they add depth—focusing on pivotal terms for exploration, not full word-by-word for brevity).

This matches what we discussed: KJV first for its beauty and interpretive challenge, then interlinear glimpses to dig into originals.

Phase 1 - The Gospel 3:16s
John, Matthew, Mark, then Luke;
a Top 10 list and The Pentateuch.

We begin our journey with the eternal most famous verse in history ... John 3:16.

Even atheists know this one, or at least how it begins "For God so loved the world..." And if you never get any further than that, that's the most important thing to know about God. He does love us...all of us. And as we learn more about The Bible, this and all of the other 3:16s will begin to make more sense.

But first, how much did God love us? The rest of the verse tells the story, so that is where our study will begin on 3/16/2026 after the last blood moon / full eclipse until late in 2028. That gives us three full 3/16s to try to figure this whole thing out.

You can do it. We can do it. And we can have a lot of fun while we learn.

So join me and The Bible and some of my AI friends and a fellow prophet named "Steve" (not his real name...or is it? [dramatic music "dumb dumb dumb". Each lesson guaranteed to be paved with lame dad jokes like this one.)

Preliminary Schedule

3/16/2026 - John 3:16

KJV: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Lesson summaries will go here, a few paragraphs each; similar in style to the sample Blog Posts written by Grok; only here Grok's role is in the research and organization of the materials and the lessons themselves will be based upon the teachings of prominent scholars like R.C. Sproul, Michael Heiser, Dr. Gerald Schroeder, and Chuck MIssler; contrasting at times with popular atheist thinkers like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. The goal is to present The Bible in a way that is easy and fun to learn, beginning with the one verse most people are likely to recognize, John 3:16.

This will be supplemented with opinions from guests over the course of the year.

Interlinear notes: "loved" (agapaō G25), "only begotten" (monogenēs G3439 – unique), "everlasting life" (zōē aiōnios G2222 + G166).

The interlinear will be included for those who want a deeper level of education, with links to online interlinear sources for more in depth studies of other verses as well. Here it is mostly to show how the Hebrew and Greek can give greater understanding than translations by even the most well-meaning scholars.

3/23/2026 - Top 10 3:16s Foreshadowing the Biblical Remnant

Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 the Alpha and Omega of The Bible.

The Top 10 List (still to be determined) will include old and new testament passages to establish the first lesson that there were multiple eras of God's relationship with man:

1) When Adam Walked With God - Adam and God had the first Covenant. "Don't eat my apples and you will never die." But Adam and Eve did commit sin, and thus broke the first covenant between God and mankind. After being expelled from The Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were merely a "remnant" of God's great Creation - Man.

2) From Adam to Noah - Even after Eden, Cain and Able had a Covenant with God which was implied by their sacrifices and knowledge of good and evil. But, this was still a period of time without any recorded written law from God. Enoch walked with God during this time, and we see God choosing the descendants of Enoch as a proto-type of "The Remnant." With the death of Methuselah, this period of God's second covenant comes to an end, with Noah and his sons being the only remnant from the time between Eden and The Flood.

3) From Noah to Abraham - After Noah is saved, thus symbolizing "The Remnant" of mankind, only when Abram shows his faith in God is a new lineage chosen in a new covenant. And following the pattern of "The Remnant" the descendants of Abraham escape the famine of the Promised Land through his son Joseph's faithfulness even in captivity, thus repeating the cycle of growth and pruning that is prophesied to repeat with the future Remnant Church.

4) From Abraham to Moses - Abraham's Covenant with God lasts until Egyptian captivity, when Moses sets the Hebrews free. And we see another example of God preserving His remnant in the descendants of Abraham. Note also that in this same time, the descendants of both Isaac and Ishmael diverge into two great and promised nations. But both demonstrate throughout history and time that to be great is not necessarily to be good.

5) From Moses to Jesus - This is the Fifth Covenant, but the one we most often refer to as "The Old Covenant". This is the story from Exodus onward of how Israel responds to being "under the law" and eventually under Judges and Kings, all because of their original sin ... the desire to be ruled by any other than God as their one and only true King.

6) From Jesus until Jesus - This is the new Covenant period, as described in the New Testament. And as prophesied in Revelation, the New Covenant ends with Rapture, Tribulation, Anti-Christ and the Second Coming of Jesus. But two thousand years later, it is still nearly impossible for anyone to agree on what all of that means. But what we know is that we do not know and will not know when this time comes to an end. But we do know that there will be a promised "Remnant Church." The question is "Who will that be? and how will we know?" And those are questions yet to be answered by prophecy and by reality.

7) From the End of TIme to Eternal Grace

as Michelle used to say (and I would argue) (one plus one equals one). No, I would say. One plus one is twice as good. We can do twice as much together. I didn’t know about Hillbert Spaces (nerd alert). We were saying the same thing.
