Iran: A Nation Rising to Power
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia,
that the word of the Lord
by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled,
the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia,
so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom,
and also put it in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia:
All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me.
And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah.
Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem
which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel He is God), which is in Jerusalem.
(Ezra 4:1-4)
As of to date, the rulers of the nations continue to take decisions to change the world order without consulting God. According to the word of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is unwise!
In an attempt to bring peace and stability to the Middle East, on January 26, 2013, in its own sovereignty, Iran proposed the establishment of an Islamic military organization among Muslim states to defend the rights of the oppressed people wherever needed. I expected the opposition of the US-led West, Israel.
It has been taught that the battle is of the Lord, and that there is more than one way to go about consulting God and His work among other things. For example, using the Bible, it could be consulted that the above written piece of the Holy Scriptures will be fulfilled in the life of the Persian nation of Iran again. God could confirm it.
Another way on going about consulting God, is through His servants the true prophets, who can speak on the Lord's behalf. God's servants could tell that it is not by the power of whom Iran calls a prophet, but by the power of whom is not only a prophet, but the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Most High, Who's name is Jehovah God, and whom Muslim people call Allah that Iran will rise as the world superpower!
The testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy (Revelations 19:10), and He will use Iran and give her all the kingdoms of the earth to do as He pleases, again, which includes writing a decree to rebuilt His Temple (the church) or House of Prayer (Ezra 5:31).
The people of the world will witness the fulfillment of this prophecy in God's timing! However, in the meantime, the Persian nation has two options: wait for the fulfillment of the prophecy or seek the prophetic counsel of the Lord through His servants the prophets such as this writer for counseling as to when and how this prophecy will be filled. As well as the aftermath before time.
