Iraq---Did you know?
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 in 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 t! hat is u sed in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia.
The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy 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 verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) 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!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all Amen ! This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq. Pass it on and pray.

Some of it I knew, but other facts were new to me. Thanks, Irish. Those were very interesting and informative. See, you do learn something new every day.

Irish,
At the risk of appearing antagonistic, Surah 9, verse 11 reads in my English translation of the Koran as follows:
“But (even then), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity, they are your brethren in Faith: (so) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.”
Now while Surah 9 does focus on Repentance, and those who find themselves at the wrong end of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force may surely spend some time (some a very long time indeed) reflecting upon misdeeds, there really is no association between the Koran and the reference above.
Sorry.

I was surprised to learn that you too had read the Qur'an....although I shouldn't be given your background. It is lovely and presents a lot of food for thought.
(((jseal))) ~ you've just reaffirmed once again that you are a remarkable perosn. Thanks for keeping us honest.
