Did You Know
IRAQ- DID YOU KNOW?
(thanks Girod Walker)
Just in case you might think of Iraq as "only" an
oil rich nation, ruled
by an evil dictator for 30 years, whether it has
been supporting terrorists
or may not be very important, here are a few
important facts regarding the
important history and roles that this nation
has played down through
history.
1.. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.
(It sure doesn't look much like
Paradise on earth today, thanks to
Saddam.)
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 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq.
14..
Belshazzar, the King of Babylon, saw the "writing on the wall" in
Iraq
(which we hope Saddam will too).
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon,
carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
16. Ezekiel preached in
Iraq.
17. The wise men were from Iraq. (Where are the "wise" men
today?)
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's
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.
Here's why.
* Eden
was in Iraq--Genesis 2:10-14
* Adam &Eve were created in Iraq--Genesis
2:7-8
* Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq--Genesis
3:1-6
* Nimrod established Babylon &Tower of Babel was built in
Iraq--Genesis
10:8-97 &11:1-4
* The confusion of the
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 of the book of Esther took place in Iraq--Esther
* The
book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq--Nahum
* The book or
Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the
old name
for the nation of Iraq--Revelation 17 &18
No other nation, except
Israel, has more history and prophecy
associated it than
Iraq.
