"And a river
went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted,
and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is
it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx
stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it
that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the
third river is Hiddekel [Tigris]: that is it which goeth toward the
east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates"
(Genesis 2:10-14).
Most
people view these rivers and this area in Iraq as the Garden Of
Eden.

Jonah & The
Whale
Present day
Mosul is ancient Nineveh. Nineveh is where Jonah was
sent by God to spread His word to the fierce inhabitants who
were worshiping numerous gods at this time. (Jonah got cold
feet and sailed off in the OPPOSITE direction from Nineveh,
got engulfed by a huge storm) To save the ship Jonah goes
overboard and is swallowed by a great fish where he stayed
in its belly for three days, as it swam back TOWARD
Nineveh. The Fish spits Jonah out and he ends up
introducing the One True God to the pagans in Nineveh, as
God had originally commanded him to do. |
