Thoughts to PONDER

I cannot verify the veracity of this forwarded Email

from JoeUser Forums
This was a forward from my ex-wife. I do not know if this is true or not, but it sure is 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 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. Israelis 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 Iraqis 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.

Reply By: BakerStreetPosted: Wednesday, June 07, 2006Volkishness as relates to Volk. A good read about German ideology regarding their volk is The Crisis of German Ideology. I'd recommend it, good read. The Iraqis, believe it or not, have kind of the same thing going, though a lot lighter on the 'master race' thing.Re: Col Gene; I know, I used to fuss at you guys about feeding him. Dunno what is wrong with me...


thanx baker will look into this. I appreciate you making it easy for me.

cough* I'm really sorry, buuuuut...

From snopes:

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.

I don't know about the other stuff (1-19) and I'm too lazy to look it all up. The Koran verse, though, isn't real.


Thanks, Tex. I saw through that one REAL quick...lol!

Still, most of the Biblical stuff (all of it, from what I do know) is 100% accurate!

me not knowing very much about the new testemant I took a few of these on faith, MY ex-wife is very religious and a good person, she just has a bad habit of not checking her facts before she sends something out that struck her heart.

HI LINDA!! I still love you, you know. {LINDA=EX-wife}

It really doesn't hit home to the average person how old these conflicts are, I think. I was talking to my little girl about it today, and she was amazed that Israel was fighting Babylon and Persia thousands of years ago, and basically they still are...

That always blows me away when I read about feuds that have been going on for centuries or more:

example: my people the Turks and the Greeks

What an enormous waste if life.

What gets me is why it is so hard for us to understand gang mentality in light of these sorts of long running conflicts. Gang mentality is nothing more than urban American tribalism.

(braces for barrage of flames accusing me of racism).
