God & Country
 The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to
form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries
and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice,
oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting
the precepts contained in the Bible. Noah Webster
An Acrostic on How To Search The Scriptures
S earch the Scriptures Acts 17:11
Earnestly Joshua 1:8
Anxiously John 20:31

J. Wilbur Chapman said, "Anything that dims my vision for Christ, or
takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps me in my prayer life, or
makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me; and I must, as a
Christian turn away from it."
Iraq In The Bible
David L. Brown, Ph.D.
Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible.
But, do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not
the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are
Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia
means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and
Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, mean country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq
is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the
Bible. Here’s why.
Eden was in Iraq --
Genesis 2:10-14
Adam & Ever were created in
Iraq – Genesis 2:7-8
Satan made his first recorded
appearance in Iraq Genesis 3:1-6
Nimrod established the Babylon
& the Tower of Babel was built in Iraq –
Genesis 10: 8-9 7 & 11:1-4
The confusion of the languages
took place in Iraq – Genesis 11:5-11
Abraham came from a city in
Iraq – Genesis 11:31 & Acts 7:2-4
Isaac’s bride came from Iraq –
Genesis 24:3-4 & 10
Jacob Spent 20 years in Iraq –
Genesis 27:42-45 & 31:38
The first world Empire was in
Iraq – Daniel 1:1-2 & 2:36-38
The greatest revival in history
was in a city in Iraq – Jonah 3
The events of the book of
Esther took place in Iraq – Esther
The book of Nahum was a
prophecy against a city in Iraq – Nahum
The book of Revelation has
prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of
Iraq – Revelation 17 & 18
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and
prophecy associated with it than Iraq. If you would like to study this

Point To Ponder
Let the fact of what our Lord suffered for you grip you, and you will
never again be the same.
Oliver B. Green
From The New England Primer 1777
Those of you who regularly read the Iron Pen page of this paper
know that I collect antiquarian Bibles and religious books. I have a small
little book on my shelf that was used to educate young children in this
country for many years. Below are two paragraphs from this little edition.
Have communion with few
Be intimate with ONE,
Deal justly with all,
Speak evil with none.
Remove far from me vanities and lies; give me neither poverty nor
riches; feed me with food convenient for me; lest I be full and deny thee,
and say, Who is the Lord? Or lest I be poor, and steal and take the name
of my GOD in vain.
