FROM THE MAIL: HERE AND THERE ON THE INTERNET:
VERY INTERESTING -- "Did you know?" (at least according to some accounts):
1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq
(or so many scholars believe).
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of
civilization!
3. Muslims believe Noah built the ark in Iraq.
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq (some claim
nearby, in Syria).
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.
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 that 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 with it than Iraq...
