Iraq is in the news quite a lot these days. But, did you know that what is NOW Iraq was Mesopotamia, also known as the “Fertile Crescent,” where according to scientists, was the cradle of civilization? What does that mean? First of all, it means that area was where the Garden of Eden was located, where God formed Adam, the first man, out of the dust of the ground, and Eve. For those of us who read the Bible and trust what it says, we believe that all humans descended from Adam and Eve. For those who don’t necessarily trust what the Bible says about creation, perhaps you would be convinced if you researched what scientists say after studying DNA. Scientists have proven that all humans migrated from that area and spread out over the earth. Here are some facts: Noah built the Ark in what is now Iraq, so he and his family lived there before the flood. The Tower of Babel was in what is now Iraq. From there, after God confused the languages, humans spread out over the entire earth. Abraham was from the city of Ur, which was in southern Iraq. Isaac’s wife, Rebekah, was from Nahor, which was in Iraq. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq. Jonah preached to Nineveh, which was in Iraq. Assyria, which was in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel. Babylon, which was in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem. Daniel was in the lion’s den in Iraq. The three Hebrews, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego , were in the fiery furnace in Iraq. Belshazzar, King of Babylon, saw the” writing on the wall” in Iraq. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, took the Jews captive into Iraq. The “wise men” who visited Jesus were from Iraq. Did you know all these facts?
