What if one of the most overlooked Old Testament prophecies was unfolding right in front of us? Jeremiah 49 speaks of judgment—and eventual restoration—for Elam, an ancient region located in what is now southwestern Iran. With Iran once again dominating global headlines and aligning with nations like Russia, some Bible scholars are revisiting the prophetic significance of Elam.
Unlike the often-referenced Gog and Magog, Elam’s prophecy seems less symbolic and more geographically rooted. The destruction mentioned in Jeremiah—along with the scattering of its people—echoes the chaos Iran has faced and contributed to. Yet, the same passage also hints at God’s mercy, promising a future restoration.
“I will shatter Elam before their enemies… Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam in days to come,” declares the Lord (Jeremiah 49:37–39).
Do you think prophecy concerning Elam is being fulfilled today?
