Iraq Observation

Some observations ...



 1.  The garden of Eden is believed to have been in Iraq.

2.  Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, is considered 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.

14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon, saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews in captive to Iraq.

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

17. The wise men could have been from Iraq.

18. Peter preached in Iraq.

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, a city in Iraq!
You probably know this one, Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible – but do you know Iraq is second?

However, that is not the name used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are: Babylon, Shinar, and Mesopotamia.

Makes me wonder, if Iraq is so important in history to God, what is next on the horizon for this nation ... ?  And against whom will God use Iraq?
