Prayers for Persia

The Persian people are overthrowing their Islamic overlords as I write.

Persia is the ancient and biblical name for the modern country of Iran.

‘This is what the LORD says to His anointed one, to Cyrus, king of Persia, whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and to strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut.’ - Isaiah 45:1

A revolution is happening in Iran, right now, January 2, 2026.

The legacy media is ignoring it.

I cannot. I have been praying for this for decades.

Most Americans don’t realize that the Persian people have been among the Jewish people’s closest friends for over 2,500 years.

Modern Persians are not of Muslim heritage.

Today, they’re misrepresented by legacy media.

The Islamic radical regime in Tehran, fueled by conquest and submission by the sword, is NOT the voice of the Persian soul.

The Persian people — warm, poetic, proud — have long stood for tolerance, freedom, and faith.
