VERY INTERESTING- 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 Ara bia 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. Please share your thoughts on this...

indeed, Iraq has a great history, a holy history and amazing roots. and its really a wonder why it turned out as it is now today. but I think its just a misunderstanding of their religion. and maybe because Iraq is very proud of its history that's why they refused to be conquered. and I don't believe in the America as the eagle thing. I don't think America will clean Iraq. I don't even believe that the eagle represents America. I dont think America is doing any cleansing now in Iraq. its just worsening the situation. that's what I think. ^__^ but I'm not saying that I'm in favor of what Iraq is doing. I just think that there should be another way, a peaceful way to deal with Iraq and answer the problem. ^__^

I completely agree that the U.S. is not going to "clean" Iraq. I just find it very interesting the wording in their holy book. This was sent to me a while ago from a friend. Who knows what went wrong but I got to thinking maybe it has something to do with where we all began is the garden of edan so perhaps that is the first place that will show our end.??

It is good to see the knowledge of the Koran and the Bible together. Religious wars are senseless. Thumbs up!
