The Bible Also Mentions the Philippines

It can be easily understood that no verse in the Bible carried the term Philippines, since the Bible was written two thousand years ago or centuries before the Spaniards came here. However, there are verses in the Bible that prophesy about the Philippine archipelago and other islands in the Pacific. In the chapter 24 of the Book of Isaiah, verses 15 to 16 read “Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord; exalt the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear singing: ‘Glory to the Righteous One.’” The Philippines is the only Christian archipelago in the Pacific covering East Asia.

That was a very interesting passage, showing the Philippines was recognised well over a thousand years before it became a Christian country. The book of Isiah is also the prophecy that fortold the coming of the messiah ‘Christ’ Christ - Christian - Philippines. God’s foresight is Incredible, and the passage seems clear that it is referring to the Philippines. I have had the pleasure of visiting the country and compared to the UK, the Philippines is a VERY religious country. I was quite shocked by just how big christianity really is there.
