Interesting...

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

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 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 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
to everyone and pray.
