I believe that God does not make mistakes and that he has purpose behind everything that goes on; we are not fighting the
war on terror for nothing! The people of the
Middle East
are His son’s and daughters and have history and purpose to change the world, we know they already have, can God redeem?
Did you know that the Garden of Eden was in Iraq? How about Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization?! Noah built the ark in Iraq, the Tower of Babel was in Iraq, Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq, Isaac’s wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq, Jacob met Rachel in Iraq, Jonah preached in Nineveh – which is in Iraq. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel; Amos cried out in Iraq, Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.
Daniel was in the Lions den in Iraq, the three Hebrew Children were in the fire in Iraq, Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the “writing on the wall” in Iraq, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq, Ezekiel preached in Iraq, the wise men were from Iraq, Peter preached in Iraq, the “Empire of Man” described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!
Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible, but Iraq is the second most mentioned. Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia all were Iraq… Mesopotamia means between two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
The name Iraq means “Country with deep roots”.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated with it… maybe God knows what He is doing?
