Iraq Rebuilding Military, Rebuilding Babylon.

(Washington, D.C.,
April 13, 2012) — Bible prophecy indicates that in the End Times, the nation we
know today as the Republic of Iraq — known variously in Scripture as Babel,
Bablyon, Babylonia, Mesopotamia and Shinar — will emerge as the global center
of wealth, power and terrible evil. Eventually Iraq will pose a direct and
existential threat to the State of Israel, particularly during the Tribulation.
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime in 2003,
Iraq has not been a regional threat, much less a danger to Israel. Some have
assumed, therefore, that Iraq would no longer play a major role in Middle
Eastern or global affairs in the future. But such a conclusion would be a
mistake. As I wrote about in my first non-fiction book, Epicenter, those who
read, understand and believe Bible prophecy have been watching for Iraq to: 1)
begin rebuilding its offensive military capability; 2) begin rebuilding its
economy; 3) continue rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon into a major center
of commerce and tourism.
Interestingly, all three developments are currently
underway.
