Iraq and the Bible...

I got this in an email...

1-The garden of Eden was in Iraq.
2-Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization.
3-Noah built the ark in Iraq.
4-The tower of Babel was in Iraq.
5-Abraham was from Ur, which is Southern Iraq.
6-Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor which is in Iraq.
7-Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
8-Jonah preached in Nineveh, which is in Iraq
9-Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
10-Amos cried out in Iraq.
11-Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.
12-Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq.
13-The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace.)
14-Belshazzar, the king of Babylon, saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.
15-Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
16-Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
17-The wise men were from Iraq.
18-Peter preached in Iraq.
19-The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon which was a city in Iraq.

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq. However, that is not the name used in the bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between 2 rivers, more exactly the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is very significant country in the bible. Here's why.

-Eden was in Iraq-Genesis 2: 10-14
-Adam and Eve were created in Iraq-Genesis 2: 7-8
-Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq-Genesis 3: 1-6
-Nimrod established Babylon and the Tower of Babel was built in Iraq-Genesis 10: 8-97 11: 1-4
-The confusion of languages took place in Iraq-Genesis 11: 5-11
-Abraham came from a city in Iraq-Genesis 11: 31 Acts 7: 2-4
-Isaac's bride came from Iraq-Genesis 24:3-4 10
-Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq-Genesis 27:42-45 31:38
-The first world empire was in Iraq-Daniel 1:1-2 2:36-38
-The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq-Jonah 3
-The events in the book of Esther took place in Iraq.
-The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq-Nahum
-The book of Revelation has prophecies against Babylon (Iraq's former name). Revelation 17 and 18.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and propehesy associated with it than Iraq.

And also...
This is something to think about. Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages. The following is from a verse in the Koran...

Koran (9:11)-For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace. (Note the verse number)

 

smash............i am impressed and find it extremely interesting!

That is interesting. I wonder why there is not more notice taken of that in Muslim countries.

 

I don't know if all that is right, but i was watching an old billy graham and he was saying the Garden of Eden was in what is today Iraq.

 

That's your first clue.

 

I first heard that over an online radio broadcast a couple of days ago. At Overcomerministry.org there's this psychotic Apacolypse preacher from South Carolina I listen to for laughs, morbid curiosity and story ideas. He went off on that same e-mail, saying it was just another sign pointing to the end of the age.

Then again, this guy's convinced George W. Bush sold his soul to Lucifer, there were no dinosaurs, and The Passion of the Christ is an un-Biblical form of idolatry. Makes me wonder if it's safe to drink the water over there.

 

well, of course a quick glimpse at the koran would show that last bit is bogus.

as to the rest of it... i guess, if you believe the bible, then sure, why not?
