And you probably have 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, this is not the name that is used 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-9:11) Hmmmmmmmmm!!

Tim,
Alot of that is very interesting and makes sense in our quest for peace, however I was very interested in the last comment on the verse. I googled it, and it is a hoax. Supposedly not in the Qu'ran. I am not insulting what you wrote. I find it interesting, but just an update. I actually looked it up hoping it would be true.

Thanks
Tim

Then i guess that Jesus was an Iraqi/Saudi. I wonder why he's always been depicted as a white man.

Jesus was a Jew- not an Arab. i know a LOT of rednecks that- for some reason- get very upset when you tell them that their great savior was a Jew.
and also, when you get right down to it- a drifter hippie.
a drifter hippie Jew.. sounds kinda silly when it is said like that, don't it?

Jesus was very good at bonding with the common man, so I guess his appearance helped others to relate to him. Reading about his life and what he did is fascinating to me! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

thats of course if you believe in all that.

Question: How do you know the Ark and the Tower of Babel were in Iraq? Reason I ask is because I showed this to one of my buddies and he asked me the same question?
