The Demise of Iran was Foretold by Daniel some 2,500 Years Ago!

by Robert Anthony March 2nd 2026 There are a very few Biblical events, specifically foretold in scripture, proceeding the coming of the Jesus back to the earth.  Many will talk about the antichrist, the mark of the beast and all these things prophesied throughout scripture but the Bible is very clear about a very few events that will more or less begin the end of days… and one of those events could very well be unfolding right now in Iran!  I will explain.

Reading the book of Daniel, we see a series of prophesies about the end of this age.  One of those very important prophecies pertains to what was the ancient Persian Empire.  At that time in history the Persians had captured the prize city of Babylon and they were ruling basically what was known world: from Iran to Egypt up to Turkey thru Syria and back over to Iran (the whole of ancient history took place out of this land). In Daniel Chapter eight, Daniel records that he was taken into a vision by a Persian (Iranian) river named Ulai, what is today called the Karun River, and he was shown events leading up to the end of the world (as we know it).  After Daniel sees the vision, the vision about what is to come to pass in Persia (Iran) near the end, he has a hard time understanding it – so God sends Daniel an angel named Gabriel to explain the meaning of it to him.  Gabriel explains that a great war will break out between Greece and Persia in the last days and this war will be a sort of “beginning of the end” as the last days unfold.

What will come to pass after this war between Greece and Persia will lead to the rise of the famed Antichrist, this figure mentioned all throughout the book of Daniel and later described even in greater detail by John, in his Revelation.  And all these things are coming to pass now, exactly as they were described by the Jewish/Israeli prophets of old.  It is amazing in fact the accuracy of these more than 2,000-year-old prophecies which are many happening right now, before our very eyes!

As Daniel prophesies, in the end Persia practically ceases from being a power altogether.  But their demise makes way for the coming of this foretold antichrist, who eventually convinces the whole world to follow him and, in the end, he gathers the armies of the world to march against Jerusalem, to battle the Almighty God and wipe His holy people, Israel, from off the face of the earth forever. 

Could President Trump be quite directly fulfilling Biblical prophecy, what was foretold some 2,500 years ago by the angel to Daniel!?

We will watch and see.More to come on this!
