Revelation13.net: Saddam Hussein, the former evil dictator of a modern-day Babylon, and the Wars in Iraq -- A Bible prophecy and New Age analysis

We will discuss here the issue of Iraq by using Biblical prophecy to understand the war in Iraq. On December 13 2003 Saddam Hussein of Iraq was captured by the U.S. Army; Saddam was found hiding underground in a hole in the ground in Iraq. This brings to mind Revelation 13 where the 2nd beast comes out of the earth, like Saddam coming out of his hole in the ground. Also, Saddam was found near a sheep pen, bringing to mind also Revelation 13 where the second beast has "two horns like a lamb", Revelation 13:11 King James version:
"13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."

Also, the sheep pen near where he was found was shaped like the Greek letter Omega, bringing to mind the "Alpha and Omega" quote in Revelation concerning Christ: "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last". And Saddam was captured when he was exactly 66.6 years old, 666 being the number of the beast in Revelation 13.
There had been a great danger that Saddam tinkering with chemical, biological and nuclear weapons could come up with some method of mass destruction, such as a doomsday virus; it was very important for the safety of the world that Saddam be removed from his position of power. Remember the 700 oil well fires Saddam set on fire during the first Iraq war? Saddam's crimes against humanity include using nerve gas against the people of Iraq.
The interesting thing about Iraq is how it fits into the pattern of Biblical prophecy, especially the prophecies of the book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel. In the Book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, had his dreams of future events interpreted by the prophet Daniel. Today Iraq is located where Babylon was, and I have read that Saddam (in his insanity) believed he was Nebuchadnezzar returned, and therefore he thought he was destined to rule over a new resurrected empire of Babylon. That is why he had been rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon, so he could sit on the throne there like a reincarnated Nebuchadnezzar. (Note also that in the Book of Daniel 4:33 Nebuchadnezzar becomes insane, and "did eat grass as oxen".) This attempt to create a new Babylonian Empire explains Saddam's unfortunate attempt to expand Iraq.

Daniel's prophecies help explain the Book of Revelation's prophecies of a future empire to come, in Revelation 13. In chapter 7 of the Book of Daniel, Daniel saw a vision of 4 beasts rising out of the sea, representing future empires to come. The first beast was like a lion, and had a man's heart. The second beast was a bear with three ribs in its mouth. The third beast was a leopard with wings and 4 heads. The fourth beast had iron teeth and 10 horns, one of which was a man that spoke great things. These are believed the represent the Babylonian empire (the lion), Medo-Persian empire (the bear), and Greek empire of Alexander (the leopard-- Alexander had the speed of a leopard during military conquest), and the Roman empire (with iron teeth). It is also believed that the final empire may be talking about the Antichrist -- the man who speaks great things. Note that these beasts are combined into the 10-horned beast of Revelation 13, which has the mouth of a lion, feet of a bear, the speed of a leopard, and 10 horns representing a confederation of 10 states. This could be Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, evolving into this angry beast. Since Revelation 13 describes the empire of the Antichrist as having the mouth of a lion and the feet of a bear, this could mean that the lion had been Iraq under Saddam Hussein (where the lion in Daniel's vision was Babylon, which is now Iraq) and the bear is Russia.
This may relate to the past alliance between Russia and Iraq under Saddam, and also a Russian alliance with Red China , since the beast gets its power from the dragon. Now I think the lion-bear-dragon is:
lion: Hong Kong, now part of China
bear: Russia
dragon: China.
Note that the lion shown above is on the Ishtar Gate, from the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq.

And in Revelation 16, the River Euphrates in Iraq is dried up so that the army of the King of the East (China?) can cross it to the Battle of Armageddon. It is interesting that a severe drought was drying up the River Euphrates in 1999, this was the worst drought in Iraq in this century, and also Turkey is building dams upstream which could dry up this river, so this is another sign that Armageddon is approaching.
In Revelation 18:2, King James version of the Bible,
"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils" (devils -- Saddam and his government of Iraq).
