ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kittim

Kittim is a word that is mentioned in the Bible and it refers to a place that is far away from where the story takes place. Think of it like when your mom talks about a place that is very far away, like another country. Kittim was actually a name used to describe the island of Cyprus. This island was located in the Mediterranean Sea, and was very different from the places that were familiar to the people who wrote the Bible. So when they talked about Kittim, it was like they were talking about a place that was very far away and exotic.
