    Interesting Facts about Iraq....

    This an email someone sent me.I thought It was intersting so i posted it. Thought I'd post it for all to see, especially for all who serve.




    This is freaky, interesting and scary all in one!




    Read down to the very bottom, you don't want to miss this!



    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 ofShinar, 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 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 !

    that was a good read man, and very interesting. i took a class once on science and technology in the ancient world, and a lot of shit went down in present day iraq. a bunch of really smart people (scientists, mathematicians, inventors) came from that area and are responsible for things we still use today like algebra, geometry, algorithms, and more... also i never said this but thanks for your service, even though you're close to coming home. (ps. good luck on the turbo kit!!)

    Thanks man, I have less than 2 weeks here. Cant wait to get out of here. Things seem to be getting worse. We step up or tactics and the insurgents step up theirs. So close to going home and people are getting killed, being so close to leaving it really sucks. I feel for the families. God be with them. A couple more days and i should be off the road. well thanks again. I want to put on the turbo but i need to change my tranny, Im so impatient im probably gonna put it on anyways.

    Most of that is true, but the Koran 9:11 verse is 100% made up
