Hebrew Translation: Verse 1 “Thus declares the Lord to His set apart anointed, to Cyrus whose right hand I have conquered to subdue Gentile Nations before him; and I will loose the loins of idol Kings to open before him the two leafed gates and the gates shall not be shut.” Verse 2 “I will go before you and make the large swollen prideful, upright, lawful and honest.” Verse 3 “And I will give you the treasures of falsehood, ignorance, blindness and judgment and the hidden riches of secret places, that thou may discern and understand that I the Lord which proclaim thee by thy name and the great God of Israel.” Verse 4 “For Jacob my servant’s sake and Israel my chosen. I have proclaimed thee by thy name; I have surnamed thee though thou has not understood me.” Comment: God has enabled King Cyrus the Persian King or Iranian King to conquer the surrounding nations including Babylon to take all their wealth to return the Jews back to Israel from 70 years captivity to rebuild the Temple and the city at Jerusalem! All was paid for by King Cyrus to free them from their captivity! My Bible says the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous! (Proverbs 13:22). Remember the Jews were taken captive by the Babylonians because they had become wicked! All the Temple treasures were taken and the city of Jerusalem was burned down! After their repentance during their 70 year captivity the treasures of wicked nations were used to return them to Israel. Cyrus also returned all the Temple treasures that were taken to Babylon! This cycle repeats itself! Then remember the Temple was destroyed again in 70 A.D. by the Romans! Jesus predicted this in 30 A.D. The city was burned, the Temple destroyed and the treasures hauled back to Rome along with 100 hundred thousand Jewish slaves! The treasures and free labor was used to build the Roman Colosseum. Christians were martyred in this Colosseum. So the Jews and the Christians were both persecuted! Today Israel stands as a vibrant prosperous nation! America a gentile nation defends her! Jesus said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter Heaven! So why strive to be rich? If you will serve God in righteousness and not lust after money God will take that ill gotten gain from the wicked and store it up for you! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Persian Empire and Christmas!
The word (Peri), according to Persian folklore is a supernatural being descended from Fallen Angels and excluded from paradise until penance is done. Remember the wise men or magi were Persians! I will detail about this in another posting. So the Persians who needed penance showed up to witness the birth of Christ! If this does not get your attention to the importance of witnessing to the Persian people nothing will. Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

I want to give you the ancient nations as listed in our Bible and then i want you to see the modern nations that make up those ancient nations today! Let us start with the Persian Empire. The nations today that make up the Persian Empire are Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan! So when you read end-times prophecies in your Bible they include these nations! American’s have you already noticed something? It was the Persian Empire that attacked us on 9-11. Our wars in the Middle East since have been with the Persian Empire! President Obama pulling us out of Iraq and the treasures gift to Iran has strengthened the Persian Empire! Thankyou America says the Islamist! Russia or God and Magog have been strengthened thanks to Hillary Clinton’s reset button with Russia! They have since taken territory and are one of two major players in the Middle East including Iran now as America is on the decline! However there is a bigger picture at home in America! I like the Greek translation of the word Magog in the Book of Revelation! The word translates as an Anti-Christian party! Is that like the Democratic party? I want to wish you a ? Hold it! Is it a happy holiday? Season’s greetings? Happy stocking filler? Tensile holiday? Music festival? Sorry! I remember now! Merry Christmas! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Stolen Treasure! 2 Kings 24:13
All the treasure of the House of the Lord that King Solomon had spent a lifetime amassing was carried off by Persian King Nebuchadnezzer of Babylon! All the gold, silver and vessels of the Temple and the King’s House were cut in pieces and carried off! What lesson can we learn from this? Hundred of years later Jesus predicted the Temple of Jerusalem would be destroyed again! About 40 years after His death and resurrection during the Roman/Jewish War (66-70A.D.), the Jewish Temple was destroyed and the treasure was carried off back to Rome along with one hundred thousand Jewish slaves! The Jewish slaves and treasure was used to build the Roman Coliseum! Then the early Christian’s were martyred in the same Coliseum! History has shown us that when Jew’s are persecuted so are the Christians! Same holds true today in 2016! The Apostle Paul talked about treasure in earthen vessels! The treasure inside each human was given to us by God! It is a gift and no human can steal it! What we do with this treasure is very important! If we claim it as our own then we are stealing treasure from God! The treasure within you is priceless and has eternal purpose! It will last forever! Our purpose in Christ is found on earth and prepares us for Heaven! Remember after death we come back to earth again with Christ for the one thousand year rule of earth following the seven year tribulation period! If you have been faithful here on the earth with the real treasure then expect greater responsibility later in His Kingdom there and when you return with Him again to earth! Thankyou.

Islam
If the people of this religion (Islam) are asked about the proof for the soundness of their religion, they flare up, get angry and spill the blood of whoever confronts them with the question. They forbid rational speculations, and strive to kill their adversaries. This is why truth has thoroughly become silenced and concealed! Abu Bakr Muhammad al-Razi (865-925 A.D.) Abu was a Persian Physician, Alchemist, Philosopher and Scholar.
Barack Obama in Islamic Prophecy?
Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world? The question has made the rounds since last month, when a pro-government web site (Iran), published a Hadith (or tradition) from the Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisis, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis for modern Shiite Islam. According to the tradition, Imama Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophets cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate savior, “a tall black man will assume the reins of government in the west.” Commanding the strongest army on the earth, the new ruler in the west will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name is Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.” In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names- Barack Hussein- mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us”, the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition!
