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 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!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all Amen !

Which bible? Seems to be quite a few contradictions depending on which one you choose to read....and they're all written by man to justify a given groups own self interest.

[ghost71799]

It is compared to the King James version.

I thought it was a good read after thinking about all the large wars that took place there.

Good post Abaca.

Makes very good bathroom reading material...lol

There are different versions of the "Bible" or "Koran" or "Talmud"
or "Book of Mormon" (which claims America was a holy land that was 'visited') and each and every one of those, to name just a few is different and they conflict with the others.
I have read many of them, and 'other' accounts of history. And while the correctness of anything from that time when written words were few and hand made 1 letter or 1 picture at a time on easily damaged and /or destroyed are almost non-existant only one thing is, and history up to the present shows the same thing.

Religion kills, maims, and ruins everything it touches, it is said in the very "Bibles" to have caused 'plagues' 'starvation' 'mass deaths of children', floods and famines and plagues, and most of all wars, wars between different villages / cities, between different states, between different countries, between different religions, between different sects of the same religion, between different congreations of the same religon.

This not a opinion, read history, read the bible(s) it is the number 1 killer, number 2 is the lust for power. (this is percentage of population dead, not actual body counts) The bible tops the list at either way of counting at 99.999 % (Noah and his ark)

Visualize World Peace....But that would be a World without religion.

If you are or were a Marine and not just using that picture a lot of you buddies died over religon, a lot of mine did.

I say pull out the troops, here's my recommendation

A good time to throw in a quote from a great DEAD man John Lennon
The song "Imagine"
I started to quote the lyrics but this would be the time to hear them from the source.
Rest in peace John
I am not a Lennon or Beatles fan but one of the things that I am most thankful for killed this individual and I am not thankful of loonies. I am a strong 2nd ammendment supporter.
Listen to the song.

This is an assnine thing to say or think....maybe I misunderstood you. John Lennon did not deserve to die. The strung out religous zealot that shot him on the other hand is living for free on taxpayer dollars; we can live without his wonderfull contribution to society. I also am a strong 2nd amendment guy. I have a concealed weapons permit and more than my fair share of firearms. I'm fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where I can hunt big game off my back porch and I often take advantage of the oppertunity. This doesn't mean I think we need assult rifles or anything like that. I got fed up with the NRA asking me for money 3 times a week, so I am no longer, or ever will be again, a member of the NRA. It's these non-profit guys that abuse the privledge that are driving postal rates through the roof.

iraq hasnt made much progress since the garden of eden. i hope i never have to live in a mud hut, and remember this is the garden of eden. ive been in a few battles, its always great to kill your enemy. violence settles everything, always.
spineless politicians cause the problems in this world, not the military.
well iraq got off to a good start, but was left at the starting gate. a quick solution would be to make glass parking lots out of bagdagh, falugah, and other unpronounceable cities there. much of the worlds terrorism would quickly end.
c US ARMY 1964-1970 (proud of it)

when Bush Jr "prays for our troops" and says God tells him things,,is this the good one or the bad one he refers too

6 Satan represent's : vengeance instead of turning the other cheek

8 satan represent's : all of the so called sin's as they lead to Physical,mental,or emotional gratification

[RORER-714]

i vote for physical gratification,,,is in New James ?

[mopar611]

I think people make up religions to face death. They all dream up a better place to be than here on earth. Are you scared to die? Most people are so they dream up heaven to make them feel better about it.

The black book says this dude took 2 of every animal. Why not dinos?

Was there a weight limit or what? I asked a bible thumper and he said there were dinos before the flood but they teach you Noah took 2 of all of Gods animals.

I think he failed.

Mopar

[mopar611]

But, when I watch the sci-fi channel. They tell you an asteroid hit the earth which caused a flood which killed off the dinos.

I like this story better.
