Perhaps this should not be called a Biblical Gem because after many years of writing Gems, this is the first time I am offering information without a scripture to discuss. I will do two things in this document that you have not seen from me before. I will repeat information on Iraq that I have used before, because many may not have seen it and I think it is appropriate for this time in history.

1. The garden of Eden where man was created was in Iraq.—2. Mespotamia, which is now Iraq, is considered to be cradle of civilization.—3. Noah built his ark as God commanded in Iraq.—4. The famous Tower of Babel was attempted in Iraq.—5. Abraham, whom God chose to be the forerunner to His chosen people, came from Southern Iraq.—6. Issac’s wife Rebekah was from Nahor, which is in Iraq.—7. Jacob served 14 years for two of his wives in Iraq.—8. The prophet Jonah was brought to Nineveh by a big fish to preach there in Iraq.—9.

The famous Empire names: Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mespotamia were all found in Iraq.—23. Iraq contains more Biblical history than any other Nation, even Israel.—24. Iraq is the cradle for the Muslim religion, competing with jewish believers. — 25. Iraq has born inhabitants of both good and evil.

And now after all this I want to call your attention to a verse I have seen in the Koran;(the Islamic Bible) A direct copy of Koran 9:11,”For it is written that a son of Arabia will awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle will 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.” Now please consider that America is typically represented by the symbol of the Eagle. Can this possibly be a phophesy being fulfilled right now in Iraq? If so, how did a true prophesy get into the Muslim Bible?

Be sure to notice the prophecy in the last paragraph. It came directly from God and was probably given over 4,000 year ago, stating the wrath of the Eagle would cleanse the land of Allah. God knew the Muslims would worship their god of hate, Allah; and although it cost over 4,000 of our brave American Eagle soldiers, we have lived to see it happen.
