Meanings of Words and Names
There are specialized Bible dictionaries available online that may be useful to you.
Interested in looking up the meaning of names (often very significant)? Go to BibleGateway's Dictionary section, select "Hitchcock's Bible Name Dictionary" in the drop-down list, and enter the name (or look up alphabetically). You'll find out, for example, that Habbakuk means "he that embraces; a wrestler."
The same dictionary area has Eaton's Bible Dictionary on the drop-down list. The entry for predestination, for example, tells you about the Greek word used, the six places it's used in the Bible, and related verses. It's a nice comparison with Nave's Topical Bible.
A little Google searching will show you some other online dictionaries. Very helpful to have in your toolkit!
