the United Nations held a fund-raising conference in Madrid, Spain for the rebuilding of Iraq. If you didn't know, Iraq makes up most of the geographical territory of ancient Babylon, or further back in time, Babel. UN Secretary General Kofi Annan pleaded with the international community to donate billions of dollars for the reconstruction of Iraq. Here is an excerpt from the conference taken from the CBC
www.cbc.ca...
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. 8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies

I have posted this before but, it fits here. We are very likely witnessing the fulfillment of Jeremiah 50 and 51. Looks like we are trying to heal Iraq (Babylon) just as prophesied. This is Jeremiah 51:7-9 This of course comes after we heaped plenty of destruction on her.

Let me ask you - if you had the power to stop the Iraq 'war', would you? I realize the question is rhetorical, but the point is - if you could stop something bad happening that was prophesized in the bible, would you?

The Iraq war is the prophesied judgement of Babylon. Judgement for destroying Gods temple.
It is also the judgement for being the hammer of the whole world by spreading the false religions of the world. The religions that keep the world blind to the truth. The religions that keep man in bondage.
Would I stop it, if I could. No. Who would I be, to stop what God said will happen.
This judgement is not evil, it is evil being judged. As she has done to others, so do to her.
After establishing his kingdom in the Tigris/Euphrates region Nimrod consolidated his power by establishing a state religion. He constructed a religion that included deification and worship of the emperor (himself), worship of Satan and his demons, and star-worship (corrupted from a pure antediluvian astronomy). A key unifying factor in his religion was to be an astronomical/astrological observatory built upon the pinnacle of a pyramid, or tower, at Babel. It has been suggested that Nimrod spent some time in Egypt before moving up to Mesopotamia and that while in Egypt he studied the Egyptian mystery religion perpetuated there from before the flood by the wife of Ham, whom tradition takes to be a descendant of Cain.
The building of this pyramid (or ziggurat) was interrupted by God himself in order to prevent Nimrod from extending his sway over all of the inhabited earth, according to Genesis. God halted the work by confusing their language so they could no longer cooperate easily with one another, nor indeed easily inhabit the same region together. As a consequence the human race was dispersed, and as men scattered they carried with them remnants of primeval revelation from God, and Satan/hero worship which Nimrod had invented as well. This system of muddled half-truths is known today to Bible scholars as the "Babylonian Mystery Religion." From a biblical point of view this religious system is described as the well-spring for all subsequent false religion and endless mythological systems
As a note on the Babylonian mystery religion, the original cult of the mother and child, Semiramis and Tammuz, became later Isis and Osiris, Venus and Adonis, the madonna and child in various cultures down to this day.
There is one common element to Nimrod/Marduk in all his manifestations and that is the symbol of the snake/serpent/dragon(reptilian?). Nimrod took the dragon as his personal emblem, so that from him spring various dragon myths and their special association with apocalyptic events. Strikingly the only favorable accounts of dragons are found among the Hamitic peoples of the world (like Nimrod) including the Ethiopians, Hittites, Chinese, Japanese and American Indian.

Come to think of it - if God knows all, then he would know who would be raptured and who would not before they are born. That means he knows millions of souls will be born into this world only to suffer eternal damnation for they never would read the Word, they never would find him - they would never stand a chance. Hmmm - not my kind of God, thanks.....
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Okay, I can't resist. The word FACTS keeps coming up in this thread and no one has challenged it. I don't see facts I see Biblical quotes. What is your definition of facts Sun Matrix? I my simple self have asked some pretty basic questions and have yet to see any answers to them besides scripture. I am not voicing an opinion of the Truth of the Bible, but I am challenging your refrence to such as facts

True, there are historical facts listed in this thread, but to weave them through the fabric of the Bible and to say that the facts of history prove the Bible just isn't sound. Because.... The Bible could be a game plan for the historical facts to convince people of it's Factual content. If something is inspired it is not a fact but instead lives in the realm of faith, doesn't it?
One other thing, I noticed you said to validate the scripture from Jeremiah that we are "trying to heal Iraq" is that really what you believe?
Te If it is your credibility really sunk for me.xt
Although I do admit you have made a good case linking Biblical prophesy with current events I still don't see the breakthrough that you promised at the beginning of this discussion.

I've read this entire thread - Page 1 up to Page 27 (now) .. And I have to say, Sun Matrix, you have either answered out right, shed light upon or pointed me into the right direction to A LOT of issues/questions and indescrepancies that I myself have been faced with for 20 PLUS years. When I have had questions and asked of others I was always brushed off with "That's the way it is.." or "That's not important.." I knew though, that being brushed off and pushed aside, was just an easy out for those people because they did not know the answer and could not provide me with any FACTS! Through your knowledge and the facts that you brought forth and presented in this thread, I now have a better and deeper understanding of The Bible, the rest of the world and The TRUTH!
THANK YOU!
I look forward to the rest!
FunkyDung .. A Thanks to you as well.
God Bless You Both!
