Where is Libya in the Bible?

Libya, known in the Bible as Put or Pul, is a country in North Africa located west of Egypt along the Mediterranean coast. It appears primarily in Old Testament prophecies where it is mentioned alongside other nations in judgments against Egypt and regional powers, particularly in the books of Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel. The prophet Ezekiel references Libya in connection with Egypt's downfall, while other prophets include it among nations that will face God's judgment or be involved in end-times events. In the New Testament, Libya is mentioned in Acts as part of the broader Mediterranean world touched by early Christian expansion. Though Libya is not the setting for major biblical narratives, its inclusion in prophetic literature underscores its significance as a known ancient nation within the biblical world.
