First of all, The phony satellite nation calling itself "Israel" has nothing to do with the Biblical people called Israel. Yes! You lazy and worthless Christians who will not study to show thy self approved, Israel is a people, not a nation. The "Jew" is not the Seed of Jacob, but of Esau.\n Well in 1948, the British went in and killed the palestinians and renamed Palistine "Israel" then the British (suffering from a delusion called "British Zionism") and the American Zionists transported thousands of..I call them worthless trailer trash from all parts of the world...you call them what you want..to "Israel" at tax-payer's expense! and they remain today, the Largest Welfare state in the World.\n That is all I owe you.\nThe Scriptures are not for the Swine or the Dogs, but read Rev.2:9 if you are so inclined.\n No apologies to anyone!

From my own memory\n\nFrom Africa\n\nUpper Volta = Burkina Faso\nDahomey = Benin\nGold Coast = Ghana\nUbangi Shari = Central African Republic\nBechuanaland = Botswana\nBasutoland = Lesotho\nNorth Rhodesia = Zambia\nSouth Rhodesia = Zimbabwe\n\nAll these countries (and  others I couldn't remember) changed names after the end of colonialism in Africa, starting with Ghana in 1957 and ending with Zimbabwe in 1980.  These nations wanted to get rid of their former colonial names and revert/invent to local names.\n\n\nFrom Europe\n\nFormer Soviet Union broken into the 15 states of:\n(European)            (Central Asian)\nRussia                    Kyrgistan\nUkraine                   Tajikistan\nBelarus                   Turkmenistan \nMoldova                   Kazakhstan\nLatvia                       Uzbekistan\nLithuania\nEstonia\nArmenia\nGeorgia\nAzerbaijan\n\nThe Former Yugoslavia broken into:\nSerbia & Montenegro (both to become independent entities)\nCroatia\nBosnia and Herzegovina\nMacedonia\nSlovenia\n\nAll these nations existed as separate entities before they were incorporated into the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, respectively.  They achieved independence after the dissolution of their respective parent states due to the falling of the Iron Curtain in the period 1989-1991.\n\nIn Asia\n\nBurma = Myanmar\nCambodia = Kampuchea\nDutch East Indies = Indonesia\n\nBurma was changed to Myanmar by the SLORC in 1989, Cambodia to Kampuchea by the Khmer Rouge in 1975.  Here again, they changed the names to get rid of their colonial names.\n\nFor more info (and to find others I may have missed)\n\n http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Former_colonies

Yes. the Garden of Eden was around present day Iraq and Iran. In Genesis 2:14, it says "The 3rd river is named Tigris, the one flowing east of Assyria. And the 4th river is Euphrates." The 1st and 2nd rivers are Pishon and Gihon, which has since dried.

Hi, the ancient peoples refered to there Known part of the world in this manner, in the Gospel narrative the Roman governor called a sensus of the whole world which was in reality a sensus of all Roman occupied areas, also the Jews used this term also to describe Israel.

The Bible is a compilation of scriptures. It is called the Bible. Most modern Bibles have 66 books in them. Bibles prior to 1880 (give or take on the year) had 80 or more books in them. In my house I could lay in front of you many Bibles that are all different in versions and with all different varieties and quantities of books and letters in them. No matter which one you would pick up to read, you could safely claim to be reading the scriptures.

I have many, many Bibles and often use them to compare scriptures which I'm studying.  But for reading and teaching I prefer a modern language text, and one that is TRANSLATED (from original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic) as opposed to one that is a VERSION.  My two favorites are The New World Translation and the American Standard Bible.  Also I prefer ones that have footnotes and cross references, which I use a great deal.

WELL, THE ONLY THING I HAVE EVER HEARD USING THAT NAME IS THE PRIESTHOOD HELD BY MEMBERS OF THE MORMON CHURCH. IT IS ALSO IN THE BIBLE TALKING ABOUT THE MELCHISEDEC PRIESTHOOD. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LEVEL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND KNOWLEDGE ATTAINED AND CERTAIN ABILITIES GIVEN TO THE PERSON HOLDING THE PRIESTHOOD, SUCH AS BLESSING PEOPLE. AS FOR IT BEING A COUNTRY, I TRULY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT, AND I STUDY GEOGRAPHY QUITE A BIT. BUT NOT ALOT OF HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY, SO IT IS EASILY POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS THE NAME OF SOME COUNTRY IN TIMES PAST THAT NOW HAS A DIFFERENT NAME OR WAS SWALLOWED UP BY ANOTHER NATION. I SHALL RESEARCH IT FURTHER.

Maybe this will help just read all the way down or at least the last 10 or so sentences\n VERY  INTERESTING- \n\n\n1.The Garden of Eden was in  Iraq. \n\n2.  Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq,  was the cradle of civilization! \n\n3.  Noah  built the ark in Iraq. \n\n4. The  Tower of Babel was in Iraq \n\n5.  Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern  Iraq! \n\n6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor,  which is in Iraq! \n\n7. Jacob  met Rachel in Iraq. \n\n8. Jonah  preached in Nineveh - which is in  Iraq. \n\n9. Assyria,  which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel. \n\n10. Amos  cried out in Iraq! \n\n11.  Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem. \n\n12. Daniel was!  In the lion's den in Iraq! \n\n13. The  three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in  Iraq also as the fourth  person in the Fiery  furnace!) \n\n14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in  Iraq. \n\n15.  Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into  Iraq. \n\n16. Ez ekiel  preached in Iraq. \n\n17. The  wise men were from Iraq \n\n18. Peter  preached in Iraq. \n\n19. The  "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon,  which was a city in Iraq!  \n\nAnd you have probably se en thi s one. 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, means country with  deep roots. \n\nIndeed Iraq is a country with  deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.  \n\nNo other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy  associated it than Iraq. \n\nAnd also,  This is something to think about! \n\nSince America is typically  represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... \n\nThe following verse is from the  Koran, \n\n(the Islamic Bible)  \n\nKoran  (9:11 ) - For it is written that a  son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.  The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah  and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more  rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah;  \n\nAnd there was peace. \n\n(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! \n This is a  ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq.
