Merathaim was the symbolic prophetic name for Babylon in Jeremiah. It is important because it shows how the prophet intensifies judgment through interpretive renaming. First appears in Jer 50:21.1
AI summary: Merathaim matters because prophetic rhetoric can turn a great empire into a moral label. The record belongs to Jeremiah's forceful denunciation of Babylon's rebellion.1
Double rebellion, probably a symbolical name given to Babylon (Jer. 50:21), denoting rebellion exceeding that of other nations. 3
