Madmena

Madmenah is a location referenced in the context of an ancient prophecy concerning an Assyrian invasion. As part of the description of Assyria’s campaign against Jerusalem, it is mentioned that Madmenah is evacuated in anticipation of the military threat posed by the Assyrian forces. Given the foreseen severity of the Assyrian advance, the inhabitants of Gebim prepare to flee, symbolizing the urgency and fear this period instilled among the people in its path (2 Nephi 20:31). Despite being mentioned in the prophetic narrative, the exact geographical identification of Madmenah remains unknown. Its inclusion in the textual account provides a snapshot of the broader landscape and settlements affected by the historical Assyrian conquests, while also contributing to a visceral portrayal of approaching danger during a tumultuous era in the region’s history.
