Amazing Fulfillment of
Bible
Prophecy in Pictures
One
of the ways in which we are absolutely certain of God’s existence is the
fulfillment of Bible prophecies. Here
is what the One True God said: “Behold,
the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they
spring forth I tell you of them.” (Isa. 42:9)
In the previous article “Understanding the War
in Iraq through Bible Prophecy” 
God has revealed how Babylon (the ancient
name of Iraq) would fall twice. The
prophet Isaiah have also prophesied in great detail how Iraq would fall.
“And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!” And he answered and said, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods He (God) has broken to the ground.” (Isa. 21:9)
“And look, here comes a chariot of men . . . ”
“. . . with a pair of
horsemen!”
“. . . with a pair of
horsemen!”
“And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen!”
“And all the carved images of her gods . . ."
“. . . He has broken to the ground."
Statues of Saddam Hussein were also pulled down in other cities as well. Here is an article that describes why Saddam's statues and also many other graven images were destroyed. Eradicating Symbols of a Past Regime
After the fall of Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq, looters stole and smashed priceless archaeological treasures from Iraq's National Museum. The museum in the northern city of Mosul also was pillaged, and Baghdad's Islamic Library, which holds one of the oldest surviving copies of the Quran, was set afire.
Ancient Mesopotamia was the cradle of urban civilization, and Iraq's museums held priceless, millennia-old Babylonian, Sumerian and Assyrian collections. Many of these collections are images of pagan gods which are abominations to the One True God.
We pray for the people of Iraq, that they will not only have a good government, but more importantly, they will also come to the knowlege of the One True God in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that all things are possible with
our Almighty God and heavenly Father.
May God bless you.
