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 if 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! Is God trying to tell the Arabs something?
