Evil Bagged in Baghdad
- Joni Ames

Isaiah 21:9, "And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground."

This morning the world watched as the statue of Saddam Hussein was toppled in the midst of the city of Baghdad. American Marines helped the Iraqi people in this valiant proclamation of freedom and the end of an evil regime.

First an American flag was put over Saddam's face like a bag, as the evil power of his regime was "bagged in Baghdad." Then a rope and an Iraqi flag were put around the neck. One who knows their Bible stories couldn't help but recall the Bible story in the book of Esther where Haman was hanged on his own gallows!

As Marines helped pull the statue of Saddam forward, it bowed and broke off at the knees. The Word clearly promises that all will bow their knees to the One True God!

The Iraqi people danced, cheered, and threw their shoes as the symbol of their evil dictator fell! In the Old Testament, this was a sign of redemption. In the book of Ruth 4:7 it says, "Now this was the manner in former time (in Israel) concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony (in Israel.)"

Additionally, newsmen are saying that showing an enemy the sole of your shoe is a great insult in the Middle East. Interestingly, there were scenes of men holding up Saddam's photo, hitting it in the eyes and face with the sole of their shoe!

It didn't take long for the Iraqi people to break the head of Saddam off of the statue, and with the rope still attached to the neck, drag and ride the head through the streets! Whether Saddam is actually dead or not, the people have made a clear display of their choice for freedom.

It isn't over, but as American Christians, let us pray that it is remembered that it is GOD who gets any glory in this! And to pray for continued protection of our president, servicemen and country.

In the Old Testament, when the idols were destroyed, the people flourished. But the key is that they additionally turn to the True God, and not another idol.

Let us continue to pray for the Iraqi people that they will now hear and obey the voice of the One True God, and be protected from any further oppression.

Amos 9:11 & 12 promises a remnant in Edom in this time, so let us also pray for brave witnesses that will bring forth a great harvest to the Lord at this time.

Isaiah 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! The golden city ceased!

Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

Isaiah 14:22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the
LORD.

Saddam 'in Russian Embassy'
09/04/2003 16:36 - (SA)

Baghdad - President Saddam Hussein is hiding in the Russian Embassy in Baghdad, according to reports. He is said to be trying to negotiate a deal allowing him to go free in return for surrendering. The reports from a Lebanese news agency have been denied by the Russian Embassy in Washington.

raq: Saddam's House of Horrors


Australian newspapers are full of horror stories today

Australian newspapers are full of horror stories today - all on front page and in color. Coalition forces discovered dozens of simple wooden coffins stored at an Iraqi Army base. Inside - human remains, human bones. Some bearing signs of gunshot wounds. Executed by the cruel regime? At the same warehouse, documents in Arabic. Documents going back to the Iraq-Iran war. Some, clearly shown on TV, looking like personal files, with a photo on the front page.

Torture? Execution? Contrary to the popular belief, neither. In the last couple of years, Iraq and Iran have been exchanging remains of soldiers killed during the war between the two countries. The purpose was - to identify victims and give them a proper burial. That's why human remains wrapped in protective plastic sheets were held at the Army base. That's why so many personal files nearby. That's why those old human bones were not buried as yet. A similar morgue was maintained in Hanoi after the end of Vietnam war. Remains of US servicemen were gradually released for identification and sent home for burial. Considering the state of military archives in Iraq nowadays - after the first Gulf war - their forensic team had a most challenging task to identify the men.

This is a VIDEO file, so you need a video

I'm not expert on computers and the Net,

(or is it another folder... Temp Internet Files?)
and move the file to your desktop so you
have this BBC 9-11 video handy to show

PLEASE FORWARD - PLEASE FORWARD.
