CHRISTIANITY

BORN IN IRAQ AND IRAN

Three monumental events that impact the

origin of Christianity had their origin

under very strange circumstances in what is now called

Iraq and Iran.

The Bible tells us  all of this very

strange information I will present to you.

THE THREE MONUMENTAL EVENTS

1. The rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem

2. The publishing of the Law Of God in Israel

3. The announcement of Jesus as king.

1. THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM

King Cyrus

Bible 

Ezra Chapter 1 Verse 2

(Note: In those times what we know 

as Iran now was known as Persia)

Cyrus king of Persia (Iran) says:

The Lord God of heaven has given me all

 the kingdoms of the earth and has charged me

to build him a house in Jerusalem which is in Judah.

So here is the Bible saying that God,

has given the leader of Persia

the job of building the temple in Jerusalem.

In Isaiah 45:1 it says that God

holds Cyrus right hand.

 In other words God has exalted the leader of Persia

which is present day Iran.

WHO WAS THIS KING CYRUS?

He was the king of Persia which

is present day Iran.

He was a follower of the God Ahura Mazda.

His God was Ahura Mazda, and

his prophet was Zoroaster.

This means that the construction of the temple

 in Jerusalem was ordered by

    Ahura Mazda who spoke through

the prophet Zoroaster.

                                                Ahura Mazda                                          Zoroaster

THE PLOT THICKENS

1. BRINGING THE LAW OF GOD TO ISRAEL

Bible

2nd Kings Chapter 22:

King Josiah asks his assistant Shappan

to do an audit in the temple concerning offerings.

The audit is carried out by Hilkia

who finds a document among

the papers titled

"the book of the law".

So we have a simple business job here.

Auditing the books.

But one of the books found is the book of the law.

Hilkia who was doing the audit goes into

shock because no one had any idea

that any such thing as the book of the law existed.

He takes it to King Josiah.

King Josiah goes crazy because no one

was ever doing anything that the law stated.

That means for over 800 years,

none of the "Children of Israel"

had any idea there was such a law.

THE FORTUNE TELLER "HULDAH"

Huldah

King Josiah takes the document to this

woman by the name of Huldah.

She says that everyone is going to be in

big trouble because this is the authentic law.

A NEW PARTICIPANT "EZRA"

Ezra Announcing The Law

Ezra lives in Babylon (present day Iraq)

and Persia (present day Iran).

He is the grandson of the fellow who found the law in

the back of the temple, Hilkiah.

ENTER A NEW KING OF PERSIA/IRAN

 NAMED KING ARTAXERXES

Artaxerxes

Artaxerxes King of Persia/Iran orders

Ezra of Iraq (Babylon) and Iran

to re write the law

and to take it to Israel and

make sure it is obeyed.

Keep in mind, King Artaxerxes is also

a follower of the God Ahura Mazda

and the prophet Zoroaster.

It is under the authority of the God Ahura Mazda

and the prophet Zoroaster

 that the law is taken from Persia/Iran to Israel

and becomes divine law.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF JESUS AS KING

The Magi come to visit Jesus,

as we all know from the Christmas story.

Guess where the Magi came from. 

Persia/Iran

    Who is the chief of the tribe of Magi?

Zoroaster

    He tells them they will find the boy kings  

sign in the constellation Virgo

THE LAW, THE TEMPLE,

THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF JESUS

IT ALL CAME THROUGH BABYLON AND PERSIA

Present day Iraq and Iran

THROUGH THE GOD AHURA MAZDA

AND THE PROPHET ZOROASTER
