Iraq and Future of Iraq
CALIPHATE ON OUR PLANET
ISIS detonated a Vehicle-borne Improvised Explosive Device in a Shia-majority neighborhood of Baghdad, killing and injuring people…It happens almost daily….and as always in Iraq.
The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, historically known as Mesopotamia, is often referred to as the cradle of civilisation. It was here that mankind first began to read, write, create laws and live in cities under an organised government. Iraq is the First Homeland for the Jewish nation and its Father Abraham. God commanded him to move with his family to the Promised Land Canaan to give it to him to eternal possession…
But HOW could he possess the land inhabited by other nations such as the coastal nation from Cyprus called Philistines… and many other powerful nations who did not know the TRUE God of Abraham?
The God of Abraham was the God of his father Adam..but our planet was inhabited by those who chose not to believe in Him…They forgot His laws and what He did for Adam..
The God of Adam appeared to Abraham and commanded:
“Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Abraham left Iraq, Ur of the Chaldeans.
After the flood His father Terah planned to do that too but he was stuck in Ur of the Chaldees, near Nasiriyah in southern Iraq.
The area has been home to successive civilizations since. Iraq was the center of the Akkadian, Sumerian, Assyrian and Babylonian empires. It was also part of the Median, Achaemenid, Hellenistic, Parthian, Sassanid, Roman, Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid, Ayyubid, Mongol, Safavid, Afsharid and Ottoman empires which were all collapsed.
It is EASY to move to another place to dwell there. But to transform the place, to impose new rules, the laws of the NEW God, who was not recognized by the nations dwelling there, Abraham should DESTROY their world. How to do that?
God swore to do that.
To confirm to Abraham that His promise would be fulfilled, that there would be a future for Abraham in the Land of Promise, God renewed the promise of a son by establishing a covenant with Abraham:
“On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates’” (Genesis 15:18).
God explained to Jews/descendants of Abraham why He gave them the promised Land/Israel:
Do not say in your heart when the LORD your God has driven them out before you, 'Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land,' but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD is dispossessing them before you. "It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the LORD your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. "Know, then, it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stubborn people…
Many centuries later, God has changed and transformed the world starting to do that in the Promised Land.
How did that happen?
Through conquests, extermination of other pagan nations who worshiped idols, cleansing the land, simultaneously establishing the God’s laws/Shariah.
