Answer 2

How can you determine if any prophesy is related to current Persia, early twentieth century Persia medieval crusader Persia? They all bent the Bible to there own whims and their own times and always will use it to justify the atrocities of men by claiming divine will, pointing to a book of myths whilst standing on the necks of the truly innocent.

Daniel and Revelations

Answer 4

I don't have the details with me at the moment, but in several places it promises that Christ will return to Persia or will be a princely Persian. It also says that He will pass through Assyria, which is now Iraq.

Daniel also prophecies that Christ will return in the years 1844 and 1863, which was fulfilled by the coming of the Bab and Baha'u'llah respectively, who both came from Persian and entered Assyria. Baha'u'llah was exiled from Persia to Assyria to Anatolia and finally to what is now Israel, where He ascended Mount Carmel, which, according to Isaiah "shall see the Glory of the Lord". "Glory of God" is the literal meaning of Baha'u'llah, so Isaiah was saying "will see Baha'u'llah".

There are many other prophecies like this, foretelling the advent of Baha'u'llah.

Answer 6

Eze 38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Eze 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Eze 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Eze 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
