This is very interesting specially the Koran verse at the bottom. Can you verify the rest of it re Iraq?

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 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.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!

I am one that believes that Eden was in Israel. Adam was barred from the Garden of Eden and the angel with the flaming sword was on the east side of Eden (Gen. 3:24). Cain went eastward (Gen. 4:16)

Israel is God's chosen land not Babylon. Babylon has always been associated with evil. Eden has always been paradise. Why would God choose to place his Garden in a place that was so corrupted from the beginning and all those who rebelled against God went in the direction to the east.

Mesopotamia has been identified as the cradle of civilization and well it may be but if you think about it the beginnings of so called civilization with cities and such would have been where the outcasts would have landed after being driven eastward from the garden.

As to all the other claims in the list I would certainly say that some are true but some are false. The boundaries between Babylon and Persia are blurred this many thousands of years down the halls of time. Nineveh may have been at times Babylonian but it was also Syrian at other times.

Places and names blurred through history so I don't put this list as concrete at all.

One of my pet theories is that the cross was placed in the exact same spot as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Think about it. A serpent in the tree. A man who represented a serpent (Num. 21:7-9 with 2 Cor. 5:21)was hung on the cross which was a tree (Gal. 3:13).

When Abraham took Isaac to sacrifice him he went to the exact spot God chose and it was on a mountain of Moriah (Gen.22:2). Jerusalem is on a mountain of Moriah.

I believe Jerusalem was part of the Garden of Eden and Gethsemane was possibly where God would go walking in the cool of the evening.

Whether this scenario is true or not I would have a great deal of trouble believing the Garden of Eden was in Iraq.
