Saddam Hussein

An article appeared in the Nederlands Dagblad about the now-captured former dictator of Iraq. I quote:

“Nebuchadnezzar had a statue for himself erected with a great deal of gold in the plain of Dura, in what was then the province of Babylon. Saddam Hussein built statues in many hundreds of places and had glorious portraits hung even in the farthest corners of Iraq. (…) Saddam Hussein himself liked to compare himself with the ruler also known from the Bible (…) On the rebuilt ‘palace of Nebuchadnezzar’ in reconstructed Babylon, it is written in large letters: ‘Restored in the era of Saddam Hussein, leader of Mesopotamia.’”

Well then, Saddam Hussein’s role seems to have been played out. But one thing must be clear: Iraq’s role has not been played out. On the contrary! On the bank of the Euphrates, in due time, the ancient city of Babylon will rise again in full glory. Scripture is clear that the godless world capital of the end time will be located… in Iraq. (read: Babylon = Babylon)

I will therefore continue to follow the news in this part of the world with more than ordinary interest.
