I decided to take an older map I had used for Prophecy Studies and added these places shown below. To show where these places are located.
Also Keep in mind The Babylonian Empire was very powerful and ruled over most of the countries shown in this Modern day map.
The locations of the red and some black areas have the Biblical locations of the areas mentioned 1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq ( Note the areas of both Edens on the map. Was this the entire area?) I'm looking further into it.
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq , was the cradle of civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq (There are photos of where it landed in Ararat!)
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq (Northwest of Bagdad)
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 (Northern Iraq and that area was still run by the Babylonian Empire)
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel
10. Amos cried out in Iraq ! (Though closer to the borders of Jordan and Israel. It was still ruled by the Babylonians.)
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 ( Still looking into this one)
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
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1
As some of us fight the fact of This war being because of Oil and all the politics involved. I feel personally, That there is a much bigger picture and plan involved.
We can preach blessings and Prosperity, but forget that what we call 3 world countries are part of Gods Major plans. Even in Prophecy. (Yes the End Times)
So why is this not preached in Churches?
I hope and Pray that this little bit of info may open some of your eyes to what is really going on as our soldiers are out here fighting a war that seems to never end.
Pray for them. When you see them, Shake their hands and tell them thank you. Even though they may not feel like they are not doing much. Each of them, are part of a bigger plan, that may usher in what the entire world Saved and Unsaved alike has been waiting for, for thousands and thousands of years.
If you Don't believe me, (Read The Bible) lol Its all there. lol
Don't take my word for it. Find out for yourself!
To all the soldiers out there. I want to thank you personally. You All Rock!
Thank you for sticking up for Freedom, and the right to Worship God Freely.
As all these other countries do not have a choice to do so.
God bless you all.
Dan
