The term "China" does not explicitly appear in most translations of the Bible. However, some biblical scholars and researchers believe that references to a land or people that could be associated with China may be found in certain verses, particularly in the context of trade and nations. For example, the name "Tarshish" is often thought to represent distant lands involved in trade, possibly including regions that could be linked to the far east, including China (Ezekiel 27:12). Moreover, in the context of prophecy and the gathering of nations, some interpret passages like Isaiah 49:12, which speaks of people coming from afar, as potentially inclusive of nations like China, though this is more speculative than definitive. Historically, the Silk Road connected the ancient Near East to China, indicating interactions between these regions, which may have influenced perceptions of China in biblical times. However, it is important to note that the modern nation of China, as we understand it today, is not specifically mentioned in biblical texts.
