Title: Interesting Information on Iraq
Post by zwibbs/Scott on Sep 14^th, 2006, 7:07am

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 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 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 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?!

Sorry.... :-/

Quote:

Quran 9:11

Claim: Quranic verse 9:11 speaks of the "wrath of the Eagle cleansing the lands of Allah."

Status: False.

Example: [Collected via e-mail, 2003]

Quran (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.

Origins: The
chapter and verse citation reproduced in the example block above isn't a legitimate quotation from the Quran (or Koran), the sacred text of Islam — no such passage appears in that book, at Chapter 9, Verse 11 or anywhere else.

This item a hoax, a leg-pull, that plays on the USA's (i.e., the Eagle's) launching of military action against Afghanistan and Iraq (the "lands of Allah" ) in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on America organized by Osama bin Laden (the "son of Arabia" ). That the chapter and verse selection match the date of the terrorist attacks (9:11) is another giveaway to the joke.

Depending upon which translation of the Quran one uses, the section corresponding to chapter 9, verse 11 actually reads something like this:
But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know.

True sedentism did not catch on as a permanent way of life until the toward the end of the Upper Paleolithic. The first clear evidence of a successful and long term settled community comes from people called the Natufians, who lived in the Near East from about 15,000 to 11,500 years ago. They occupied lands on the eastern side of the Mediterranean, in the region that is now Israel, Jordan, and Syria. The early Naturfian gathered the emmer wheat and barley that grew free there.
The Natufians did not develop the domesticated forms of the cereals but in gathering, preparing and storing these grains, they were laying the technical basis for their successors to do so. (Map included of Natufian homeland including sites of settlements and cities.)
Einkorn was apparently the first wild cereal to have been domesticated. It was cultivated some 12,500 years ago and the first possible domesticated forms occurred 10,500 years ago; domesticated einkorn becomes abundant in the western half of the Fertile Crescent (from southeastern Turkey down the east Mediterranean coast) to 9,500 years ago. Domesticated emmer wheat, which is easier to harvest, is found at Abu Hureyra (Syria) from 10,400 years ago. Rye and barley were two other wild cereals domesticated before 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent.
After the dog, the first animals to be domesticated were sheep and goats, probably between 10,000 and 9,500 years ago. Cattle from aurochs and pigs from wild boars were domesticated at about the same time. The horse appears to be have domesticated much later (about 6000 years ago) and outside the Near East, probably on the Eurasian steppes.*
