Babylon & Iraq In Bible Prophecy

[vja4Him]

Has anyone studied the scriptures relating to Babylon and Iraq in Bible prophecy? Today was the second week of Bible prophecy teaching at our church. We have two more weeks to go. The study of prophecy is very interesting .....

Any comments welcomed. Thanks and God bless.

I do know that Babylon is in Iraq. I am also aware that Judah was "deported" and was in exile in Babylon for quite some time. Unfortunately, they developed some bad practices while in Babylon and as a result, God declared them a Harlot.

The southern kingdom of Judah lasted a little longer, until 586 BC, before they too had been gradually conquered and taken into captivity. This time it was the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar. Their capital was Babylon (see map). As with Israel, Judah became deeply involved in paganism, idolatry (see Baal), and Witchcraft - all blatant violations of The Ten Commandments. They ignored all of the warnings that God sent to them through His prophets (see Prophecy), including Jeremiah.
