    Those should be the only places who worship the abrahamic lord of magic thinking. If only in a perfect world.

    China is mentioned “the land of sinim” and Oman and the gulf countries should be included because they comprise Arabia.

  3. This is not actually countries mentioned, it’s just places and a settlements located in the countries, and countries that are part of a region that was mentioned

    Romanians 7:16

    *…And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be one of them that stand here, which shall sing with the voices of angels, for his name shall be Sandu Ciorba.*

    pretty sure the bible never mentioned the names of most of these countries, just the general area

    Romania didn’t even exist when the Bible was written. I assume it’s the same for most countries on the map.

    Using modern map on something this old is wrong!
    And Libya is a great example, because all north Africa except Egypt was refered to as Libya

    Bible mentions blobs of ethnicity and land where they lived on. Certainly not countries that didn’t exist before the 19th century. When most modern borders were drawn.

  9. John 12:55

    “Then He said, ‘But the rich man who praiseth his father but doth not give alms will be granted not eternal life, but shall be damned to Bosnia and Herzegovina until the end of time”

    The word “countries” doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title…

  11. Is this map a deliberate trolling attempt? Why is it reposted so often?

    None of these countries were mentioned in the Bible as none of them existed at any point any book of the Bible was written.

    What about England? Jesus’s uncle, Joseph of Arimathea visited and oral tradition suggests Jesus spent time in Cornwall.

    God didn’t know anything about America and Australia.
    Actually god only knew the places where dominated by Roman Empire.

    How could France be mentioned if the Franks did not yet exist? Maybe Gaul? But then we should mention Switzerland and Belgium-Netherlands-Luxembourg…
    Spain. Okay, but at the beginning of our era, there were slightly different borders, and it was a reference to a province of the Roman Empire inhabited by Romanized Celts and descendants of the Semitic Carthaginians. Is it the same country as today?
    This is only what is immediately visible.
    It’s a strange map…

  15. Croatia and Bosnia are located in parts of Illyria, but as countries, they are Slavic countries, not Illyrian. Similarly, modern day “North Macedonia” has nothing to do with ancient Macedon, which was Greek and wasn’t even located in modern day North Macedonia, which used to be populated by the Paeonians, a group often associated with either Illyrians or Thracians. If you want to mention a modern successor to Illyrians, the only legitimate ones are the Albanians.

    it would be nice if there was a version of this map with the actual verses included

    If only Jesus had the good sense to mention Russia, maybe the communists wouldn’t have sworn animosity to God.

  18. DrunkCommunist619 on

    This map is wrong because none of the countries mentioned in the Bible exist today. If they wanted to do countries “reference,” then they should’ve colored in all areas the Roman Empire controlled at the time.

  19. Lol so misleading, none of these countries existing at the tile the bible was written. Not one.

    Also Libya and Ethiopia dont refer to the modern countries of the same name but to the North and Sub-Saharan Africa respectively.

    And yet Christians push their limited world view down others throats

  21. You’re telling me the 5th French Republic is mentioned in the bible? Come on, be for real.

    This is map porn, a sub ostensibly for people who love and appreciate maps, and are probably aware that borders as they are today make absolutely no sense when talking about events that took place 2000-3000 years ago. Be better, OP.

    I promise you Croatia was never mentioned in the Bible. Now Dalmatia, a place that is part of current day Croatia, is mentioned. You know who didn’t even exist yet back then? Croatians. You can’t have a Croatia if Croatians didn’t exist.

    It’s almost as if the Biblical texts are just texts written by humans living in a specific cultural area in a specific period of time, rather than the texts being the word of an all-knowing, timeless and spaceless entity…
