Concise Bible Dictionary
:
There
are no
islands
near to
Palestine
.
Cyprus
is
the
nearest, and that is
about
seventy miles from the nearest point of
Syria
, far
north
. So that the term “the
isles
” may be
used
at
times
indefinitely
for
places or nations far off. We read of “the isles which are beyond
the
sea
,” “the isles afar off,” and “isles of the
Gentiles
” (
Gen. 10:5
5
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations. (Genesis 10:5)
and more;
Jer. 25:22
22
And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, (Jeremiah 25:22)
;
Jer. 31:10
10
Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. (Jeremiah 31:10)
and more). It is thought that in
some
places in
the prophets
the sea-coasts or maritime countries are intended. Definite islands are
also
mentioned, especially in the
New
Testament
when
Paul
began his missionary journeys.
