‘direct foreign investment is going to flood in, and Iraq will become the wealthiest country on the planet.’

Okay. Sure.

This isn’t the first time. I think this is like Babylon 5.

parsy, who really liked the Gilgamesh story, particularly the John Gardner one

maybe not wealthiest country in the world (Hyperbole anyone?) but The Iraqis are still fairly westernized, they have a bountiful resource that is very valuable and they could also develop into a country for ex-pats and other workers of that type to help them build and run things.

Iraq has the ability to rebuild and become a very rich nation the question is WILL Iraq do it? Time will tell.

Oh, I believe that Babylon will be rebuilt, but this myth that sunni and Shia will ever get along is insane.

However, Iraq might become the epicenter of the world if there is a electronic hub built there.

Then all of the data traffic, commerce, trade and transactions that passed through there would create it on a large scale the worlds most important area.

I'm not some idiotic fanatic but what is happening as I type this is pure prophecy in the news. Obama is certainly an enabler but too idiotic to be the one ... . Obama is pure evil and you can see how EASILY PEOPLE ARE FOOLED. They are being set up for someone worse and it's EASY to see how they will fall for it.

Possibly.

The Sunni and the Shia have gotten along before - let’s remember that before Saddam and really before the British cut Iraq lose after WWII, the Iraqi region was relatively stable.

Nature abhors a vaccum. When we deposed Saddam in 2003, that gave nuts like Sadr and Z-man/AQ a chance to lead the leaderless. As events have unfolded, Sadr got his fat butt shot by his own guys as we were closing in on him and we blew Z-man up with a Hellfire missile and AQ’s presence and support has pretty much ebbed away.

Nothing helps people be peaceful like a steady paycheck and something to do. This could conceivably happen in Iraq (whereas in Afghanistan the road will be much longer).....

So turning the ruins of Babylon into a tourist attraction is the equivalent of rebuilding the city and turning it into the seat of world government? OK, sure.

Barack Obama is not the Antichrist. But you are right; to see how slavishly people worship this fraud and three-card-monte pro is to understand how the world will embrace the Antichrist and regard him as god.

No, Obama's role is to destroy America since America is the final remaining obstacle to world government and he is fulfilling his role beautifully.

Things are falling right into place and the time is getting very short.

I don't know exactly how it will be accomplished but you can rest assured what God said will happen with regard to Babylon will happen.

God has a long, long history of keeping His promises and fulfilling prophecy. Don't poo-poo it just yet.

I'm reading Joel Rosenberg's The Copper Scroll right now. It is the fourth installment in a series. In this book, a leader in Iraq rises and declares Babylon the new capitol and he convinces the rest of middle east to come together to become a superpower, after their countries and leaders are snubbed out in a single day. Of course, the enemy is really Israel, and they want to stop Israel from rebuilding the Temple on where the Dome of the Rock once was.

It is very compelling fiction.

I believe Iraq’s/Babylon’s wealth will come when they merge with Russia as one kingdom. Since Russia combined with Iraq and Iran would be a ridiculous amount of oil and other means of fortune.

That's a disputable conclusion - prophetic literature, being heavily shrouded in figurative language and symbolism, is necessarily obscure. I'm not so hasty to dogmatize on one particular interpretation.
