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



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.

Dedicated to all the men and women who fight for peace in Iraq.

not to ake u mad but the bible was talking about gods ppl in there gods ppl is the eagle but u done a good job look in acts 2 :38 df look at that

Yup, the Bible talked about God's people ^^

The facts stated above are historic and geographic data based on the events in the Bible.

Also, the eagle was mentioned in the Koran, as some sort of symbolic entity. Much like the biblical beast in Revelations 13:11-18.

It might be a person, nation or cataclysmic event, but it may not necessarily mean that it is a particular group in conclusion

isah 4 :5 look at it

That's a good read

are you joking by stating that all those places are in iraq or are u actually stating an opinion?

Well it's not a joke and not my opinion, if that's what you're asking.

Those places are the old names of various places around Iraq, just like Thailand was used to be called Siam or Iran would be Persia.

Come to think of it... I used to have an Iranian classmate in Nuclear Physics, we called him Prince of Persia

Wow didnt know that many people from the bible originated from Iraq. thought it would be places Egypt!

u hav 2 realize that just because some of those places are named that now...doesn't mean they actually originated there. Although it is true that the bible takes place within Africa and Asia.

o n the eagle represents Wisdom.
as the lion represents justice
and the human represents love
and the bull power.

and gods ppl isah 4 :5

gosh spell it right...its isaiah.

Isaiah 4:5

Then the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy.
(ESV)

No offense Allcon, but I don't see a connection between that and the Koran's Eagle.

And yeah, Horrid. There may be some exaggerations in the Bible (on the point that it has been written in hundreds of versions over the years; e.g. KJV, ESV and the like). But archaeologists and scientists have already cartographed most of the places believed to be ancient cities in Mesopotamia, according to the data that they have unearthed in all these years. I believe they even feature those in Discovery Channel.

I had a transplant patient last year who was the Director for that Dead Sea scroll museum in Jerusalem (Israel Museum or something like that). Pretty interesting conversations, actually. About Jesus and Jews and Christians... and tanks...

read the kjv then u will c

I don't exactly have the KJV.

Maybe you should just post it here

srry it is 40 : 31 not 4 :5

archeologist and scientist also believe in evolution....so i tend not to trust what they think. No offense....since your some sort of technologist....but you aren't exactly the same.

Yup, I'm a different kind of technologist.

It's amazing when you learn lots of different stuff everyday ^^
--------------------------------------------------------
And Allcon, it said ...they (who wait for the Lord) shall mount up with wings like eagles;...

not exactly mentioned that they were the same Eagle stated in the Koran (who swept over Arabia). The whole passage (Isaiah 39) was actually talking about the Greatness of God.

It all falls down to personal speculations with regards as to what the Koran's Eagle really is (depending on how one looks at it). The uncanny similarities to modern symbolism and events are somewhat amazing.

are the european jews the very same jews back in jesus time??

I dunno about that.

If you're talking Mesopotamian Jew and stuff like that, who knows.

People migrate and stuff right? Or get to marry foreigners and other social issues like that.
