Ever wondered which countries are actually referenced in the Bible? In this video, I’ll explore just that, and create a neat new “Bible Accurate“ map in the process!
These biblical lands stretch over a massive geographical area. From the rich African Kingdoms of Kush to the exotic maritime ports of ancient Ophir, the biblical writers knew of regions that lay on the periphery of the known world. When used as a historical document, the Bible is a snapshot in time into the surprising world of early trade. Finding real-world locations in the Bible reveals how connected the ancient world was.
Is your country there? If not, should your country be on there? I’d be curious to hear whether the eastern land of Sinim mentioned in Isaiah 49:12, could be a reference to China.
A few notes about the map. When the Bible was written, “countries“ as we know them today didn’t even exist. Plus, there’s no one version of it that all Christians can agree on (although that would be nice). I am using the NRSV. What’s more, I have taken Scythia to mean Bulgaria and Romania (as in Scythia Minor). I ought to have included Ukraine into this mix too but hey, Scythia has always been notoriously difficult to define! Also, Arabic not Aramaic.
I hope you enjoyed this video, I enjoyed making it. I have an exciting personal milestone this end – I’ll be moving into full-time employment! Don’t worry, I won’t disappear entirely but I will, unfortunately, be uploading less frequently. I am always so grateful for this amazing platform and your amazing viewership over this exciting chapter of my story.
