Hey Guys!
You really gonna like this..
tell me what you think after ok?!
Just in case you might think of Iraq as "only" an oil rich nation, ruled by an evil dictator for 30 years, whether it has been supporting terrorists or not may not be very important. Here are a few important facts regarding history and roles that this nation has played down through history.
DID YOU KNOW??????
1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq. (it sure doesn't look much like Paradise on Earth today, thanks to Saddam)
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 was 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 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (that's good news to know that JESUS has been in Iraq too as the 4th person in the fiery furnace)!
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon, saw the "writing on the wall" in
Iraq. (which hopefully Saddam will too)!
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
17. The wise men were from Iraq. (Where are the "wise" men today)?
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. *
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
* Nimrod established Babylon & the Tower of Babel were built in Iraq. Genesis 10:8 97 & 11:1-4
* The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq--Genesis 11:5-11
* Abraham came from a city in Iraq--Genesis 11:31 & Acts 7:2-4
* Isaac's bride came from Iraq--Genesis 24:3-4 &10
* Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq--Genesis 27:42-45 & 31:38
* The first world Empire was in Iraq--Daniel 1:1-2 &2:36-38
* The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq--Jonah 3
* The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq--Esther
* The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq--Nahum
* The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of Iraq--Revelation 17 &18
*No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.
NOW WAIT im not done yet
Just to refresh our memories you guys...
Every decade or so, we should remind ourselves of who the Iraqis are:
1. Twelve thousand years ago, they invented irrigated farming. They got to be so good at it that, today; they can still produce all the food they need even when "sanctions" are imposed. *:)
2. They invented writing. * :mrgreen: *
3. They figured out how to tell time. *:!:
4. They founded modern mathematics. :bang: *
5. In the Code of Hammurabi, they invented the first legal system that protects the weak, the widow and the orphan. :angel: *
6. Five thousand years ago, they had philosophers who attempted to list every known thing in the world. *:pimp:
7. They were using Pythagoras' theorem 1,700 years before Pythagoras. :mrgreen: *
8. They invented artificial building materials, some kind of pre-fab-crete stuff used to construct high-rise towers. *:eh:
9. Ur, in southeast Iraq, is assumed to be the place we're all descended from. :jive: *
10. They were the first people to build cities and live in them. *:?:
11. For thousands of years, they wrote the greatest poetry, history and
"Sagas" in the world. *:love: *8)
12. Because they were great horse breeders, they invented the cavalry in war. *:disgusted:
13. The Iraq Museum in Baghdad contains some of the most outstanding stone, metal and clay sculptures and inscriptions created in the history of the world. Some of them are more than 7,000 years old. . *:alright:
14. The first school for astronomers was established by Iraqis. This is how the "wise men" got to be so wise. They knew how to follow the star. *:applause:
15. Beginning around 800 A.D., the Iraqis founded universities that imported teachers from throughout the civilized world to teach medicine, mathematics, philosophy, theology, literature and poetry. *:love:
16. For the first 1,200 years of its existence, Baghdad was regarded as one of the most refined, civilized and festive cities in the world. *:rockout3:
17. Abraham, the father of Israel, was from Iraq. *:D
18. Abraham, the father and "model" of Christian faith, was from Iraq. *8)
19. Iraq has the second largest reserve of oil. *:bang:
20. Before 1980, Iraq had the largest number of date palm trees in the world. :goofy: *
21. Iraqi wheat, rice, and meat are considered from the finest types in the world. *:shock:
22. Iraq has the biggest soft water/population ratio in the world, seven rivers. *:mrgreen:
23. Iraqis once had the highest percent of highly educated people. *:think:
24. Iraqis one of the world's richest territories in historical sites and holy shrines. *:jive:
So HOW proud are you to be an Iraqi? with respect to everyone else who is not......
