During one of my most recent visits at a McDonald's in Mississippi a few days ago, I saw on the menu that you could order 6, 9 or 12 pieces of chicken McNuggets. I asked the cashier for a half dozen of nuggets. The cashier looked at me inocently and said, "We don't have half dozen nuggets." "You don't?" I asked. "All we have are six, nine, and twelve, and you are at liberty to order any of 'em. But I am not sure if we offer half dozen of nuggets, and besides, we don't sell anything in dozens or half dozens here," she argued. "So I can't order a half-dozen nuggets, but I can order six, ehn?" "That's right." I just sighed and ordered six McNuggets.
I was checking out at Cub Foods in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "Dividers" that are kept by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed up. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "Divider" looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me "Do you know how much this is?" and I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today". She said "OK" and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue as to what had just happened...

Most Important! 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 “Land between two rivers,” more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
The name "Iraq," means a country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated with it than Babylon (Iraq).
And also, this is the main bomber! Since America is typically represented by an eagle, Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
Koran (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; and there was peace.
Note the verse number, KORAN 9:11
God Bless you all Amen!
