Welcome to Is It Relevant? We are so glad you’re here.
If you’ve ever opened your Bible and felt like you were reading a foreign language—or if you’ve skipped over ancient laws, confusing genealogies, and strange visions because they felt disconnected from your life—this site was built for you.
Bridging the Gap
Many people view the Bible as two separate books: a harsh, confusing Old Testament and a loving, modern New Testament. But the truth is, you can’t fully appreciate the ending of a story if you skip the first half.
Our purpose is to bridge the gap between ancient history and modern readers. We are here to uncover the deep Old Testament foundations that bring Jesus, the Apostles, and the entire New Testament into sharp, undeniable focus. Every weird ritual, ancient idiom, and cultural custom in the first half of the Bible is actually a signpost pointing directly to the second.
What You Will Find Here
Think of Is It Relevant? as a highly interconnected, scannable digital wiki. We know your time is valuable, so we aren’t here to give you dense, academic essays. Instead, our mission is to deliver bite-sized historical context designed to create “lightbulb moments” for curious minds.

Pardon Our Dust!
We are currently in the process of building, indexing, and cross-linking our digital library. We placed this brief introduction here so you can navigate our growing menu of categories while we prep the main content.
