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. 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

The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq - Nahum
The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon
(Iraq's former name). Revelation 17 &18 No other nation, except Israel,
has more history and prophecy associated 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 Quran, (the Islamic Bible)
Quran (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 !
I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED
This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq. Pass it on to everyone and pray.
Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM. This is not a joke.
Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you.
Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes. Go.
"If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier." (amen!)
