Iraq in the Bible Part I
Introduction:
Consider two things. First, next to Israel, Iraq is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. Second, today's newspapers are filled with articles about Iraq because of current world events. Considering the significance of Iraq in the history of Israel can only make us wonder what God has planned for this country today and in the future.
Iraq is not the name used by the writers of the Bible. Here, it is called Babylon, Mesopotamia, and the Land of Shinar. The name Iraq itself means "country with deep roots." Mesopotamia means "between two rivers," more specifically between the Tigris and Euphrates.
Iraq is mentioned in the first pages of the Bible.
