Barbara is introducing you to the history of Persia which is mentioned in the Book of Esther. She also refers to the king of Persia, Cyrus, who is called an anointed king by Prophecy from Isaiah in chapter 45. This prophecy was given 115 years before Cyrus was born and became king of Persia. Persia and Iran were used interchangeably in the 19th and 20th centuries by the British, Winston Churchill and other political figures. It is interesting to note that the majority of the people in war torn Iran desire to have Persia reinstated as a country built on democracy. Will it happen? Pray for the people of Iran.
