fairyruneMy dad like to send these idiotic chain letters to me. Most of them generally piss me off, but today's was a real winner.
God bless us all!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read all of this one, it is interesting!! Read down to the very bottom highlighted in green (it was highlighted in the e-mail, but I don't feel like messing about with that right now.), IT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!!! you don't want to miss this! ((*_*))
VERY 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. 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 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 BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE DELETED This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq . Pass it on to everyone and pray. Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM. This is not a joke, someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes. Go.
Now, a bunch of this, especially the last bit, sounds like complete bullshit to me. So I checked the Urban Legends Reference pages, an invaluable source for denying crap like this.
Do you know what I found out?
It's completely and totally made up. I sent that link to my dad, and a couple of other people he sent the e-mail to. Hopefully that will teach him to stop believing every piece of chain mail that comes into his in-box.
God bless us all!

Ah, Snopes, what would we do without you...
Date: 2006-11-16 05:49 pm (UTC)What's now Iraq has played a significant role in human history, and is an archaeological treasure. During the early days of the war you probably heard some hand-wringing about coalition troops allowing the museums to be looted, and damage done to the ruins of Babylon itself.
