'country of two rivers'

Place where was found Nimrod’s kingdom (Gen. 10: 10), and the tower of Babel (Gen. 11: 2). Amraphel was king of Shinar (Gen. 14: 1), and Judah was carried captive there (Isa. 11: 11; Dan. 1: 2; Zech. 5: 1). The name denotes the lower part of the district between the Tigris and Euphrates, and is sometimes used as an equivalent for Babylonia.

Shinar was likely taken from a place name of the land of Adam which was also a country of two rivers. The one of the two rivers in Adam's land was also named the Euphrates and would roughly match the Missouri River. The other river in the land of Adam today is called the Mississippi River. Between these two rivers in America lies the American land of Zion, that Zion of Adam as well as that land where the New Jerusalem will be set up and based or founded. Is is considered that the references to Shinar in Isaiah 11:11 and Zechariah 5:11 is likely to that Shinar of Adam where Israel as Ephraim will be 'set there upon her own base'.
