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, 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 a country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
Here’s why:
a. Eden was in Iraq. See Genesis 2:10-14.
b. Adam and Eve were created in Iraq. See Genesis 2:7-8.
c. Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq. See Genesis 3:1-6.
d. Nimrod established Babylon and the Tower of Babel was built in Iraq. See Genesis 10:8-97; 11:1-4.

l. The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq. See Nahum.
m. The book of Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of Iraq. See Revelation 17-18.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated with it than Iraq.
