- And you have probably seen this 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 name 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. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant
country in the Bible. Here's why.
