[2023 Ramadan Day 15] The Nation that will Endure the War of the End Times, Iran!

The official name of Iran is the Islamic Republic of Iran. In the past, due to its geographical location, Iran was a region traversed by the Silk Road and a bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations. The people of Iran, whose name means "noble," are generally mild-mannered, preferring to discuss and converse in groups. However, their underlying tendency is fiery and short-tempered, and they have a sense of righteousness to fight to the death for what they believe to be true.

Since the success of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the government has maintained a strong Islamic state ruled by religious law, instilling extreme anti-Americanism and anti-Israeli sentiment in an entire generation. However, due to their corruption and contradictory actions, religious authorities have lost the trust of the people, who are abandoning Islam and seeking worldly comforts. People are also fleeing the country due to the incompetence of the government, which is merely a puppet of the religious powers, and the collusion of power.

The recent death of Masha Amini, who was detained and ultimately killed for wearing a loose hijab, sparked hijab protests in over 50 cities and resulted in the deaths and detentions of countless civilians by the government. These realities have further scattered Iranian souls, who are frustrated with the Islamic government, to other countries like Turkiye as refugees.

Jaded and broken-hearted by Islam, they rarely observe Ramadan or fast formally. The tense social climate, which could explode at any provocation, has led to more government surveillance and religious repression. People are prioritizing solving their economic problems at all costs, and the influence of materialism, secularism, and mysticism which is already pervasive in the younger generation is leading them to deny the very existence of God. Anger and antipathy towards religious authorities has led to a rapidly growing number of atheists openly expressing that there is no God.

Iranians, especially those who have become refugees, have faced increased economic hardship in recent years, with prices in Türkiye rising by more than 80 percent. There has been increased police surveillance and crackdowns on illegal immigration for those on their way to reach Europe, their only hope. With no place to call home, refugees are wandering in search of the truth that will save them from their hellish lives.

"And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven. And I will scatter them to all those winds, and there shall be no nation to which those driven out of Elam shall not come. 38 and I will set my throne in Elam and destroy their king and officials, declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 49:36, 38)

But God is doing a new thing through the Iranian people, who have been oppressed for so many years under Islamic rule! In each city of Türkiye, mission training is taking place for Persian refugees. They must attain government permission to move from city to city, and risk deportation if they are caught traveling without a permit. But unhindered, the Persian young generation are traveling throughout the cities of Türkiye to witness the gospel, starting a movement of evangelism! Furthermore, the Persian young generation are rising up with the heart of God to become missionaries for Türkiye and the nations! God is raising up the most powerful army to restore the nations suffering under Islam through the Persian people, who were the most strongly dominated by Islam!

Hallelujah! God is fulfilling His promise to scatter Iran, the fastest reviving nation, among the nations. He is fulfilling His word to establish his throne through the Persian refugees, especially the young generation. The final military, FM, that will destroy the kings and principalities of the earth and prepare the way of the Lord in the end times is being raised up among the Turkiye Persian Refugees. In this year of 2023, we are praying for 300 FMs to be raised up. The final army that will be able to handle the battle of the end times, no longer refugees abandoned by the world, will surely be raised up!!

[Today’s Prayer]

1. The Iranians and Persian refugees who have grown weary of Islam are growing thirstier for the truth. Even during the month of Ramadan, most either do not fast or observe it only formally, and their longing to meet the real God only grows stronger. Before any other message, may they first hear and meet Jesus who is the truth, and may the truth set them free!

2. Lord, we believe it was You who sent more than 3 million Persian refugees to Türkiye. We pray that the greatest revival taking place in Iran and Afghanistan will spread to Türkiye and all nations suffering from the lie of Islam. We desire to see 300 FM YGs rise up by 2023. We pray that the last army of FMs who will destroy false kings and authorities will quickly rise up and prepare for Your return in these end times.
