About This Place

Ancient kingdom east of Babylon, in what is now southwestern Iran. Elam appears in Genesis as a descendant of Shem and later as a military power whose king Chedorlaomer raided Canaan. The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all foretold Elam's judgment and eventual restoration, and Elamites were present at Pentecost in Acts 2.

Elam is the territory where God declares He will set His throne — transforming a foreign nation from an independent power into a domain under divine governance, claimed as God's own jurisdiction.
