Iraq

4/4/2003

 
I want to continue to write about the current war in Iraq and the fall of Saddam Hussein...
For the events which are occurring these days in Iraq are certainly fascinating from a Biblical perspective, simply because of where this present war is being fought.
 
This is a land that has been steeped in wars since ancient times, and which holds so much prominence in both biblical history and in Bible eschatology. 
 
It was in the land of what is now modern Iraq that Jonah the prophet took his message of repentance to the ancient city of Nineveh, which now sits in ruins on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, directly across from what is now the modern city of Mosul.
 
Nineveh, once the capital of the pagan Assyrian Empire, was called "the Robber City," because it would rob other nations to enrich itself (source: Thompson's Chain Reference Bible). The Ninevites would loot the treasuries of their victims. And frankly, this sounds so much like the philosophy of today's Saddam Hussein.
 
Furthermore, Bible greats such as Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, and Queen Esther, all walked this land and did exploits for the Lord. The Prophet Isaiah threatened mighty Babylon with ruin for her pride, and for trusting in her own riches and power. Babylon was enmeshed in its magic arts, enchantments, sorceries, and occult activities.
 
Many who live in the land of Iraq today are the descendants of what was once this Babylonian Empire. King Nebuchadnezzar ruled here. The Jews were held in bondage here. God worked miracles here. And the demonic spirits of darkness continually battled for the souls of men here; and they still do.
