SIGNIFICANCE OF IRAQ in the BIBLE

Very interesting, Heart Touching and Educating.

*DID YOU KNOW THAT?*

*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 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq.

*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, DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT?*

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, Chaldean, 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. Here's why:

Eden was in Iraq-Genesis 2:10-14
Adam & Eve were created in Iraq-Genesis 2:7-8
Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq-Genesis 3:1-6
Nimrod established Babylon & Tower of Babel was built in Iraq-Genesis 10:8-97; 11:1-4
The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq-Genesis 11:5-11
Abraham came from a city in Iraq-Genesis 11:31; Acts 7:2-4
Isaac's bride came from Iraq-Genesis 24:3-4; 10
Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq-Genesis 27:42-45; 31:38
The first world Empire was in Iraq-Daniel 1:1-2;2:36-38
The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq-Jonah 3
The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq-Esther
The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq-Nahum
The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of Iraq-Revelation 17 &18

No other nation, except Israel, that has more history and prophecy associated to it than Iraq.

Surprised???

I was going to cry when I read this speech from the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, but at the end I said, "Glory to the God of Israel"

Let's read together:

Mr. Netanyahu said:
Only 70 years ago! The Jews were taken to sl@ughter like sheep.
60 years ago!
no country. No Army.

Seven Arab countries declared w@r on the small Jewish state, only a few hours after its creation!
we were 650,000 Jews ag@inst the many millions in the Arab world!

There was no strong IDF(Israel Defense Forces).

No powerful air force to save us but only brave Jewish people with nowhere else to go.
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia all attacked at the same time.
the country that the United Nations gave us was a 65 % desert.

35 years ago! We føught the three most Powerful armies in the middle east, and we swept them in six days.

We fought against various coalitions of Arab countries, which had modern armies and many Soviet weèàpons, and we have always beaten them!

Today we have:

a State (Country)
an Army,
a Powerful Air Force,
A State-of-the-Art Economy with exports worth billions of dollars.
Intel - Microsoft - ibm & many high-tech companies develop cutting edge products in Israel
our doctors receive awards for medical research.
we make the desert bloom, and sell oranges, flowers and vegetables all over the world.

Israel has sent its own satellites into space!

three satellites at the same time!
We are proud to be at the same rank as:
The United States, which has 250 million inhabitants,
Russia, which has 200 million inhabitants,
China, which has 1.3 billion inhabitants;
Europeans - France, Great Britain, Germany - with 350 million inhabitants.
the only countries in the world to send objects into space!

and s@y that ønly 60 years ago,
we were led, ashamed and hopeless, to slaughter!
we havé experienced the smok!ng ruins of Europe,
we have won our wars here in Israel . #fyp #ad #fypシ゚viralシ #LongTermWealth #investing

Who were the Top Iranian Generals Killed in Israeli Strikes?

Israel’s targeted attacks on Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure early Friday took out at least 20 senior Iranian commanders, inflicting a significant blow to Tehran's governing theocracy.

The Israel Defense Forces strikes took out Gen. Hossein Salami, the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who had a history of threatening the U.S. and Israel.

Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, was also killed. His death further escalates the gravity of the strikes and their implications for Iran’s military structure.

Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the IRGC Aerospace Force, was also killed, as was Lt. Gen. Gholamali Rashid, who was the head of the IRGC's Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, which coordinates joint Iranian military operations.

Their deaths came amid Israeli Defense Forces launched a sweeping strike on Iran , called "Operation Rising Lion." It followed months of attempted, and seemingly failed, nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran. Israel said it launched the strikes to target Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure.

Gen. Hossein Salami, Commander-in-chief of the IRGC

Salami was the commander-in-chief of the IRGC since his appointment in 2019 by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, overseeing Iran’s elite military force.

His appointment came shortly after President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization.

Salami first joined the IRGC during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, rising through the ranks to lead the IRGC’s air forces and later its entire command.

The IRGC is one of the country’s most powerful centers. It was created after its 1979 Islamic Revolution and has evolved from a paramilitary, domestic security force into a transnational force that has come to the aid of Tehran’s allies in the Middle East, from Syria and Lebanon to Iraq, per the Times of Israel .

It operates in parallel to the country’s existing armed forces. It controls Iran’s arsenal of ballistic missiles, which it has used to attack Israel twice during the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

Under Salami’s leadership, the IRGC evolved into a powerful transnational force, deeply involved in supporting Iran’s regional allies in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. The Guard also maintains control over Iran’s expansive ballistic missile arsenal, which has been deployed in strikes against Israel — most notably during the Israel-Hamas war — and serves as a central pillar of Iran’s deterrence strategy.

Salami was also known for his aggressive rhetoric toward both Israel and the United States, publicly calling for the destruction of Israel as early as 2016. After the U.S. killed Qassem Soleimani, commander of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force, in a 2020 drone strike, Salami vowed retaliation. Just five days later, Iran launched ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq and warned that American and Israeli commanders would be targeted in future reprisals.

In one of the most aggressive actions attributed to him, Salami ordered a massive retaliatory strike last year, launching more than 300 drones and missiles after Israel killed seven Iranian generals in an airstrike on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria.

Gen. Mohammed Bagheri, chief of staff of Iranian Armed Forces

Bagheri has served as the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces since 2016, coordinating operations across the army, IRGC, and air defenses.

He was a veteran of the 1979 Islamic Revolution and held multiple senior roles in intelligence and strategic command.

Bagheri was instrumental in shaping Iran’s military doctrine and led efforts to modernize its missile and air defense systems. He represented Iran in military coordination with allies like Russia and Syria, particularly during joint operations in the Syrian Civil War.

As the brain behind Iran’s strategic military posture, Bagheri was on Israel’s radar for years as a high-value target.

Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of Iranian Aerospace Force

Hajizadeh oversaw Iran's Aerospace Force, a powerful military branch responsible for its ballistic missile arsenal, drone programs and space-based military initiatives. He led the branch since 2009.

The IDF said that Hajizadeh had gathered in an underground command center overnight with other senior officials to prepare for an attack on Israel when IAF fighter jets struck the location.

The IDF said that the IRGC aerospace force was responsible for repeated attacks against Israeli civilians. Notably, Hajizadeh and his subordinates commanded Iran’s direct missile and UAV attacks against Israel in October 2024 and direct missile strike in April 2024.


After Soleimani’s killing, he helped coordinate Iran’s ballistic missile retaliation against U.S. bases in Iraq.

Additionally, when Iran shot down a Ukrainian passenger jet in 2020, Hajizadeh publicly accepted blame, saying the mistake was made by a subordinate. All 176 people on board were killed.

Lt. Gen. Gholamali Rashid, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya central Headquarters

Rashid led the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, a key strategic command center within Iran's military, tasked with planning and coordinating joint military operations within the Iranian forces.

He was a veteran and influential decision-maker during the Iran–Iraq War and later became part of Iran’s senior military leadership network. He was sanctioned by the Treasury Department in 2019.

Several nuclear scientists were also killed in the strikes, representing a significant blow to Iran's nuclear development program.

WHAT TRUMP JUST DID (AND WHY THE WORLD’S SHAKING FROM IT)

While the Left obsessed over headlines and gender pronouns, President Donald J. Trump spent the last 7 days doing what real leaders do: saving lives, reasserting America’s power, and getting results.

Here’s everything they don’t want you to know:

1. He Stopped a Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan

Things got hot in Kashmir. Really hot. Both sides were mobilizing. Nukes were on the table.

Trump stepped in. Quietly. Firmly. And brought both sides back from the edge.

Pakistan thanked him publicly. India pretended they did it alone — but insiders know who made the calls that saved the world.

That’s not diplomacy. That’s deterrence with teeth.

2. He’s Bringing Putin to the Negotiating Table

There’s a peace summit being arranged in Turkey. Ukraine’s in. Russia’s sending delegates. Trump says he’ll go himself.

Just his presence is enough to move the needle. Putin, for the first time, isn’t slamming the door shut.

Biden couldn’t even get a voicemail returned. Trump is reshaping the battlefield by showing up.

3. He Hammered China — Got Them to Blink

Trump forced China to the table:
• 90-day pause in the tariff war
• Immediate cuts to key tariffs
• A crackdown on fentanyl exports to the U.S.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s the first American president to actually get China to move on fentanyl. Not talk. Not task forces. Action.

4. $600 Billion Saudi Investment Secured

In Riyadh, Trump locked down the biggest economic deal in U.S.–Saudi history:
• $142 billion arms deal (massive boost to U.S. manufacturing)
• Over $600 billion in new investments into American infrastructure, energy, and tech

It’s a triple win: jobs, energy independence, and a Middle East that fears us again — not the other way around.

5. $200 Billion Boeing Deal from Qatar

Trump helped land a mega-contract between Qatar Airways and Boeing for 210 jets — worth over $200 billion.

That deal:
• Revives Boeing
• Puts Americans back to work
• Strengthens our aerospace edge over China

And it wouldn’t have happened under a DEI-obsessed, apology-driven administration.

6. He Lifted Sanctions on Syria — With a Hidden Blow to Iran

Trump lifted select U.S. sanctions on Syria — but only after securing conditions to:
• Expel Iranian-backed militias
• Rebuild with Gulf money, not Russian or Iranian influence

It’s a strategic strike against Iran’s grip on the region. He didn’t fire a missile. He just cut their legs out from under them with deals and pressure.

7. He Brought the Last American Hostage Home from Gaza

While Biden stood back and hoped, Trump made a direct diplomatic push through Egypt and Qatar to get the final American hostage — a 26-year-old aid worker — released from Hamas.

And he succeeded. Quietly. No ransom. No deal with terrorists. Just leverage.

This wasn’t just a headline. This was a message: You harm an American, you pay.

8. Gas, Groceries, and Eggs — All Cheaper This Week

Thanks to Trump’s trade wins and Middle East diplomacy:
• National gas average dropped to $3.13
• Grocery prices fell 0.4% — biggest drop in 5 years
• Egg prices crashed 12.7% — fastest decline since 1984

This isn’t stimulus checks. This is real economic policy that works.

9. Inflation Is Cooling, Markets Are Up
• CPI is holding steady at 2.3%
• S&P 500 just passed 5,900 — fully rebounding
• Investor confidence is roaring back

People are finally catching their breath again.

10. He Just Cracked the Back of Big Pharma

Trump signed an executive order that:
• Ties drug prices to what countries like Canada and Germany pay
• Forces direct-to-consumer pricing
• Cuts middlemen out of the equation

Drug prices may drop 30–80%. And for once, the courts can’t block it.

11. Doubled Down on School Choice

He declared Charter Schools Week and reminded every American parent: Your kid’s future belongs to you — not some woke school board.

12. 150 Executive Orders and Counting

In just over 100 days, Trump has:
• Dismantled Biden’s DEI infrastructure
• Streamlined bloated federal agencies
• Relaunched energy independence
• Cut off foreign influence in domestic policy

This is what rebuilding America looks like — brick by brick, signature by signature.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

In one week, Trump:
• Averted a nuclear war
• Brought Putin to the table
• Shut down China’s fentanyl pipeline
• Crushed grocery and gas prices
• Landed $800B+ in foreign investments
• Reasserted U.S. dominance in aerospace
• Cut Iran’s influence
• Freed an American hostage
• Lowered drug prices
• Protected your kids’ schools
• Reignited the economy

That’s what real leadership looks like. No teleprompter. No stutters. No apologies. Just America First — again.

@realDonaldTrump has lifted sanctions on Syria. Does anyone still doubt that this man is a force for good?

He is also in talks with Iran and the Houthis, he is allowing Saudi Arabia to have a nuclear programme without recognising Israel and he is negotiating directly with Hamas which has resulted in the releaese of the last American/Israeli hostage just two days ago.

Most importantly he has also said “we’ve got to be good to Gaza. Those people are suffering. We’re gonna take care of that. There’s a very big need for medicine and food and we’re taking care of that. We are pushing the Israelis.”

This represents a dramatic and significant shift in U.S. foreign policy and it is commendable.

God is using this man to bring peace and justice to the Middle East and indeed to the wider world (e.g. his efforts to end the India/Pakistan war and Ukraine/Russia conflict) just as I said he would.
Slowly but surely things are getting better.

@netanyahu must be very worried because Israel has been isolated. Glory be to God!

*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 2013, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states after a series of deadly attacks by Islamist militant groups.

* On this day in 1948, Israel became an independent state. The announcement by Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, triggered a 10-month armed conflict known as the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. It started the day after the proclamation as troops of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq invaded the young nation.
