Iraq and USA

[tsth]

I have often wondered about America setting up camp over there, and the massive embassy. Is this the basket that was placed in Shinar/Babylonia?

Zechariah 5

1 I looked again--and there before me was a flying scroll! 2 He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide." 3 And he said to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. 4 The Lord Almighty declares, 'I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and destroy it, both its timbers and its stones.'"

5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what this is that is appearing." 6 I asked, "What is it?" He replied, "It is a measuring basket." And he added, "This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land." 7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He said, "This is wickedness," and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its mouth. 9 Then I looked up--and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. 10 "Where are they taking the basket?" I asked the angel who was speaking to me. 11 He replied, "To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When it is ready, the basket will be set there in its place."

I have also wondered about the same thing Suzanne.

I remember before the invasion several ministers spoke of Iraq being prophetic and Saddam Hussain re-building Babylon and this being part of the end times prophesy. Now here WE are re-building Babylon, with no intention of ever leaving.

If you're not familiar with the US Embassy in Iraq, this will help you to understand:

Why so massive?

That story was from 06. Is it built yet? It was slated to be finished last year ...

Here is a LINK from 07. Still looking ...

Yes, it's built now.

Well, somewhat. Here's what I found for this year:

Well as long as we hand it over to the people of Iraq at some point.

But it looks to me like we are building our own little emerald city in the desert.

This is nothing really new.

We have built massive bases throughout Saudi Arabia and in the past few years, have turned some over to Saudi control most notably portions of Prince Sultan Air Base in 2003. Another BIG base we built was King Khalid Military City (KKMC) in Al Batin, Saudi Arabia also known as the "Emerald City". The city was designed for an army division of three brigades and had a design population of about 65,000 people. Today, there is a minimal presence there for obvious reasons.

Iraq is the new Saudi Arabia strategically speaking.

I love politicians. In this story, it seems all they can criticize is the fact that a few fire extinguishers failed to work in a test, and that a pump wasn't working right. To me it looks like Mr Waxman was stretching a bit to grab onto anything that he could use to stab at the current administration. Surely there is more to worry about, such as the close to 800 million it cost to build.

And my question is, how does that compare to any other US embassy we have built? What is the deal with the excess of this one? What is so significant about this one? What is it really about? Again, I'm back to my original post. Is this a prophecy being fulfilled in our time?

Are we really so dumb as to employ a Muslim company (Kuwait) to build an American Embassy? Remember when we let the Russians build our embassy in Russia? It was loaded with hidden microphones and cameras. Guess we are!
