The Persian Regathering

Will President Trump cause the Persians to be regathered?

In the days leading up to the showdown between President Trump and the Ayatollah Khamenei I have heard and seen people talking about this fulfilling Bible prophecy.  Generally, they say that the people of Iran have been scattered in exile and President Trump destroying the regime of the Ayatollah Khamenei will cause that exile to end.

They usually say that this is foretold in Jeremiah (Yermiyahu) chapter 49.  Sometimes they will also say this about the ceasing of sighing foretold in Isaiah (Yeshayahu) chapter 21.

The first step to understanding these passages is knowing the ethnic groups referenced in them.  Then we can compare that to the modern country of Iran and the current situation with President Trump.

In the days of Esther, Ahasuerus ruled over a vast empire that was controlled by two ethnic groups – the Persians and the Medes (Esther 1:1-3).  These two ethnic group shared power with a king from one ethnic group and seven advisers from both ethnic groups (Esther 1:13-14).

They operated under a complicated set of protocols to provide stability across their vast empire that even the king had to abide by (Esther 1:15-18).  Whenever the king made a new law, not even he could change it later (Esther 1:19-22).

However, there was division between these two ethnic groups over who should be king.  First one side rose up to take over the Babylonian empire, and then the other side rose up to rule over their joint empire (Daniel 7:1-5).  The power of these two ethnic groups – the Medes and Persians – came from them working together (Daniel 8:20).

So, Darius the Mede took over the Babylonian Empire and split it with the Persians (Daniel 5:28-31).  He was the first to rule over the Medo-Persian empire (Daniel 6:1-2). Shortly after that, Cyrus the Persian became ruler over the Medo-Persian empire (Daniel 6:28).

So, there is this need for these two ethnic groups to work together while also having internal struggles for control.  This struggle has continued into modern times and requires identifying these two ethnic groups more clearly to understand this struggle.

The Medes were descendants of Madai – who was the closely related to the descendants of Meshech (who Moscow is named for) – as well as other lighter skin ethnic groups who first settled in the northern third of Asia and across Europe (Genesis 10:1-5).  The palace was located in Achmetha when the Medes ruled the Medo-Persian Empire (Ezra 6:1-2).

Members of this ethnic group today are called Iranians. The Ayatollah Khamenei is a Mede.

The Persians who worked with the Medes were also known as descendants of Elam (Jeremiah 25:25).  The province of Elam is where Shushan (Susa) the palace was located when the Persians ruled the Medo-Persian Empire  (Daniel 8:2).  Today, province of Elam is next to the Persian Gulf, which is named after it.

The Persians are descendants of Elam – who was closely related to Aram (whose descendants are Armenians) – as well other medium skin ethnic groups who first settled in the southern two thirds of Asia and the Western Hemisphere (Genesis 10:22-31).  Members of this ethnic group are still called Persians today.  The son of the deposed Shah that lives in exile in the United States is a Persian.

Before the family of the Shah was deposed, the Ayatollah Khamenei lived in exile in Moscow.  The Ayatollah Khamenei took control of the modern country of Iran with the help of the Russians.  The name Iran reflects that the country is under the rule of the Medes.

Today, the protesters in Iran are calling for the son of the Shah to return to rule and displaying the Persian flag.  If the son of the Shah returns to power, then the country will return to being called Persia to reflect that the country is again under Persian rule.

President Trump is leading America in making that possible.  The son of the Shah wants to bring peace and prosperity to his own country instead impoverishing his country to bring death to America.

President Trump tried hard to force the regime of the Ayatollah Khamenei to make a deal to end their pursuit of the destruction of America with crippling economic sanctions to no avail.  He offered to help them make Iran great again if they would give up their nuclear ambitions, but they were not interested.

President Trump could not understand why these things did not work.  This would have worked if he was dealing Europeans, but it will never work with the Iranians.  When they are set on bringing destruction to others, they cannot be persuaded to end their pursuit by economic means (Isaiah 13:17-18).

So, President Trump has begun an air war as a winged leopard that has struck the regime of the Ayatollah Khamenei hard, fast, and continuously (Daniel 7:5-6).  That is what Alexander the Great did to the Medo-Persian empire (Daniel 8:20-21).

If you shoot a bear, then you must kill it.  He must continue this war without letting up until this regime is completely destroyed (Daniel 8:6-7).

For this reason, people have said that President Trump is fulfilling the words of Isaiah by causing the sighing of the people of Iran – Persian and Mede alike – under the oppression of the Ayatollah Khamenei to cease (Isaiah 21:1-2).  However, this has nothing to do with President Trump but rather with the oppression of the Babylonians ceasing when the Persians and Medes destroyed Babylon (Isaiah 21:2-9).

In similar manner, Jeremiah 49 has nothing to do with President Trump.  One reason that people said that this is about him is because he destroyed the bows – the means to launch missiles – of the regime of the Ayatollah Khamenei (Jeremiah 49:35).

However, this attack did not come from all directions against Iran – but only from the west where Israel is located and from the south where the Persian Gulf is located - nor has it caused the Persians to be scattered among all nations (Jeremiah 49:36).  In fact, Persia has never been attacked on all four sides at once and had all of its inhabitants scattered among all nations to this day.

This will be the work of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) in the future (Jeremiah 49:37).  When He does this, He will bring the land of the Persians under His rule and their wicked rulers will be completely destroyed (Jeremiah 49:38).

After this, he will regather the Persians and bring them back to their own land in the latter days (Jeremiah 49:39).  They will serve the Man of Truth (Yah'shau aka Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus) like all nations (Daniel 7:13-14).

In the last days, all nations will be ruled from the Man of Truth from his throne in Jerusalem and live in their own land in peace and prosperity (Micah 4:1-4).  He will set the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) upon the throne of each nation to rule it on his behalf (Revelation 2:26-27).

When the Spirit of Truth was poured out, there were people from Iran – Medes and Elamites – who worshiped the Father of Truth there (Acts 2:4-11).  Those who rule over every ethnic group will be those of that ethnic group who have been redeemed by the blood of the Man of Truth (Revelation 5:9-10).

People think we are in the last days when they look at the current wars, the prospects of other wars in the near future, and all kinds of disasters that are happening across the Earth, but these are only a preview of the last days of this age (Matthew 24:6-8).  The last days that end this age cannot begin until the Good News has been preached to every ethnic group (Matthew 24:14).

There are still many ethnic groups that have never heard the name of the Man of Truth still left on Earth.  Many of them are located in central Asia and the believers in Iran are positioned to reach them.

President Trump has also put on notice those who have been killing the Children of Truth in Africa.  In this way, he is being used by the Father of Truth to clear the way for unreached ethnic groups to be reached there as well.

However, President Trump cannot bring in the peace that only the Prince of Peace – the Man of Truth – will bring to the Middle East and the entire Earth (Isaiah 9:6-7).  The best that he can do is help prepare the way for the Good News of Peace to be brought to those who have never heard it (Romans 10:14-15).

True peace begins with the peace with the Father of Truth that comes through the Man of Truth (Romans 5:1-2).  President Trump and everyone else must surrender control of their lives to the Man of Truth because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead to be saved (Romans 10:9-13).

Come into the House of Truth!

Liberation Day

When will we finally be liberated?

This year Inauguration Day fell on Martin Luther King Day.  This created some confusion since many people were calling the day “Liberation Day”.

Some people called it this because America was being liberated from an illegal occupant of the White House and from many people in Congress that suspiciously won in states that had no real controls to prevent election fraud.  They had created civil unrest when they tried to force all Americans to call things righteous that most found to be wicked and had created policies that did nothing but cause America trouble.

Other people took this to mean the liberation from racial injustice that MLK sought to bring about through civil rights legislation.  This had also been a time of civil unrest when those in Congress and the White House had tried to perpetuate a system as righteous that most Americans thought was wicked.

To make things even more complicated, America was mourning after the death of former President Jimmy Carter – which is done by having flags at half-mast for thirty days.  Some states were leaving the flags at half-mast because the traditional mourning period was not over, but others raised them to full mast because that was the tradition on Inauguration Day.

So, many thought that the flags were at half-mast in  states which were in mourning that the occupant and his party had been soundly defeated in the election.  They thought that that flags were raised to full-mast in states which were celebrating Liberation Day.

Of course, this was not the case as plainly shown by looking at which states kept them at half-mast, and which raised them to half-mast.  California been one of the strongest proponents of the occupant but raised their flags to full mast while Kansas had been a strong proponent of President Trump but left their flags at half-mast.

One thing is certain, many of the people of America - the land of Liberty- still yearn to be liberated.  They long to see Liberation Day.

In the history of America, there have always been two opposing forces at work like Pilgrims and Strangers in Plymouth Colony.  One has sought to live in the legacy of the Pilgrims and the other has sought to destroy that legacy through a subtle influence.

One side has sought to live in peace and justice like Wampanoags and Pilgrims had lived.  This side recognizes that we all really have skin color that is one of six shades of brown and have sought to bring social justice to everyone.

The other side has caused America to become a nation of fools.  Every time they are running America, it experiences internal strife and a loss of power.

So, there has been a constant struggle to liberate the oppressed from their oppressors in America.  Sometimes it was obvious like the struggle to liberate enslaved African Americans from their slavery, but sometimes it is less obvious.

One reason is that the oppressors will start trying to redefine oppression as anything that stands in the way of their oppression.  Their strategy is to distract everyone else from their oppression so it can continue unopposed.

This strategy has worked to various degrees throughout American history.  For example, slave states claimed that the federal government would be oppressing them by making them end the oppression of slavery in their states.

Eventually, this strategy always fails because the problems caused by genuine oppression will always eventually force action to end the oppression.  So, the question is not really will the oppression end, but when will it end and at what cost.

The sooner it ends, the less it costs to end it.  It is not the oppressors who determine this, but rather those who oppose the oppression.

When they are unwilling to compromise on ending the oppression and take decisive action quickly to end it completely, then the oppression ends while it is smaller, and the cost of ending it is lower.  However, when they are willing to compromise and do not take decisive action to end it completely, the oppression continues to grow larger, and the cost of ending it is higher.

For example, most of Europe ended African slavery long before America did while relatively few people were involved in this oppression, so it ended with little bloodshed and a relatively small economic cost.  However, in America those opposed to slavery made compromise after compromise until a war that killed more Americans that all other American wars combined ended it but crippled the American economy for more than fifty years.

In America today, there is an oppression worse than slavery.  Those who opposed it have been compromising with serial killers and have been unwilling to take decisive action to end it.

In a physical sense, the moment a zygote was formed during conception was the moment I became alive.  However, sick and twisted people are murdering people in the womb.

These oppressors use the same arguments that the slavers used – that the oppressed are not really people and they have right to do whatever they want with their property.  However, no one ever has the right to kill another person just because the other person is dependent upon them and subject to their authority.

Like then, very few in America today who oppose this oppression are willing to do what the Founding Fathers did in the face of British oppression.  The Founding Fathers understood when the time for civil disobedience had arrived, because civil obedience to wicked laws is rebellion against the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD).

Compromise about this modern oppression has only led to greater and greater rebellion against Him in America.  Unless this oppression is ended quickly and decisively, then the death of America is certain.

So, people who want to make America great again are yearning for liberation from the oppression going on in this country.  They hope that President Trump can end the oppression, so they called this Inauguration Day, “Liberation Day”.

However, they have ignored the call of 9-11 to take decisive action.  They have forgotten the meaning of liberty and where it comes from.

American law was based on the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) at the founding of America.  This modern oppression did not exist when the trust of America was in the Father of Truth.

However, today the American Spirit is no longer the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost).  The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) has been replaced in most American churches with American Jesus.

So, most Americans who call themselves followers of the Man of Truth are no longer producing the evidence of faith.  They have a dead faith that will not let them act decisively on what they believe (James 2:19-20).

They have no boldness to confront this oppression when they are also living in rebellion against commandments against the Law of Truth.  They have fallen for the great deception of teachers of lies – that they can continue to be rebellious against the Father of Truth and still have a place in His kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

They do not know that they must obey the Man of Truth if they love him (John 14:21).  They do not believe what the Book of Truth (The Bible) says - that the Spirit of Truth can give them the ability to keep the Law of Truth (Romans 8:4-10).

They do not believe that the Man of Truth meant what he said about divorce and remarriage (Mark 10:11-12).  They have no boldness to put an end to people living like they were married in Sodom when they themselves are married in adultery.

They are more interested in a concubine than a wife.  They do not know what it means to leave and cleave.

They have no intention of keeping a marriage contract like one written on a ketubah.  They do not believe that the Father of Truth will punish them severely for breaking their covenant (Romans 1:31-32).

They do not form a love triangle with their spouse and the Man of Truth.  So, they use the nuclear option all too casually.

They have no fear of breaking the oath that they made to the Father of Truth at their wedding (Numbers 30:2).  So, they commit treason against the wives of their youth and their own children (Malachi 2:14-15).

Their wives also commit treason against their families by leaving their husbands (Jeremiah 3:20).  In like manner, they reject the role of women in the church that is given in the Book of Truth.

Some even speak against interracial marriage – as if it were possible to marry outside of the human race!  They do not consider what the Father of Truth did to Miriam when she criticized Moses (Moishe) for marry a woman from a race with much darker skin than his own (Numbers 12:1-12).

Instead, they think that that being liberated means being able to once again to pursue obtaining bigger, better, newer things.  They do not consider that people must go through the refining fire before they can be liberated.

So, they call the day that President Trump returned to office “Liberation Day”.  They do not consider that President Trump can only bring temporary liberation at best.

President Trump will only be in office for four years.  Since he recruited members of the US House of Representatives to be part of his cabinet, his party barely has control of that house – which will be lost in the next election in two years if the usual pattern of American history is followed.

Even if President Trump gets everything passed that he wants, another president and another congress will come along that will make things worse than before he returned to office.  Even if he became Emperor Trump, he would still die eventually, and this would still happen.

Even if President Trump managed to bring peace inside this nation, he cannot force peace with other nations.  Another nation could attack America like in WWII and force America into war.

So, an absolute dictator is needed that will rule the entire Earth with absolute justice.  This absolute dictator would have to be immortal to ensure that liberty from injustice would never cease.

The resurrection of the Man of Truth is proof that he will be that absolute dictator (Acts 17:31).  The absolute justice that he will rule the Earth by is spelled out in the Law of Truth (Romans 7:12).

The Man of Truth will return to this Earth (Acts 1:11).  Then he will take the office of absolute global dictator (Revelation 19:11-16).

That will be the real Liberation Day!

Moreover, no president can deal with the root of the problem because it is not a political problem. The problem is with the human heart is exceedingly wicked and deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9).

The good news is that you do not have to wait to be liberated, for the Man of Truth is able to liberate you from the enslavement of sin today (John 8:34-36).  The Spirit of Truth given by him can set you free from the death sentence that sin brings (Romans 8:1-2)!

Your wicked heart that cannot keep the Law of Truth can be replaced with one that can (Ezekiel 36:26-27).  You can become a new person and your days of enslavement will be over (2 Corinthians 5:17)!

If you will obey the Man of Truth in everything then you will be liberated from all deception (John 8:31-32).  You will be free from the ignorance that enslaves most people so that you can do the will of the Father of Truth (1 Peter 2:15-16).

Today can be your Liberation Day!

So, you will not come to ruin if you will obey the Man of Truth in everything (Luke 6:46-49).  You can commit to do this if you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
