                                                                   Subject: interesting
                                    Message  IRAQ - VERY INTERESTING - 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 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 !  I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED This  is   a  ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq. Pass it on to everyone and  pray.  Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM. This is not  a  joke.  Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that  they  love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the  next 15 minutes. Go.

Chapter 9 verse 11 actually says "But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and we make the communications clear for a people who know."

God told Jonah (of Jonah and the Whale) to go to Ninevah and tell the people there to obey the word of God.  Ninevah is in northern Iraq.

I just forwarded this thread to 13 people within 15 minutes....oh boy, oh boy, 11:11 here I come!

Yep.  1 through 19 are correct.  The rest is not.

And technically, #19, while correct, is misleading.  Th Babylon mentioned in Revelation is understood to be "spiritual Babylon", meaning the religion of prideful man, not the Iraqi city.

Minor point, but I like minor points.
