Danial, With all due respect, I would take great exception with the core assumption of your argument. You're saying ... "I have a feeling the world will be their authentic selves spiritually again in Europe, Asia and Africa when they go back to their native and indeginous beliefs that pre-existed Christianity and Islam that have robbed them of their original beliefs instead of following foreign religions of Christianity and Islam which neither of them have anything to do with being Indo-European beliefs" ... and to that, I have to very much disagree. I guess inherent in that overall assumption, I hear echoes of the idea of the Noble Savage. That is - that things were so great in so many countries before Christianity came in, destroyed the native beliefs, which were so much better, and messed things up. It's the idea that things were so much better back then. I'll give you one good example of how that's simply not true -- The Waoranis and the Huaoranis (collectively known as the Auca People) of the Amazon Rainforests of Ecuador. Operation Auca is a famous well known incident that happened in 1956. Five Christian missionaries led by Jim Elliot were murdered by the Waorani when they went to evangelize them. Later, the wives of those men became missionaries to those same people (the ones who'd murdered their husbands) and eventually the entire tribe converted to Christianity. Now according to the Auca themselves, they say that life is so much better for them since they've given their hearts to Jesus. For thousands of years before that, the two tribes had been in a seemingly endless cycle of brutal, savage, war between them. They do not say that life was better for them back then. For them, accepting Jesus has healed the rift between the two peoples. It ended the fighting and brought peace to them. This idea that life was so much better in Europe, in Africa, etc. before Christianity, honestly isn't true. There's a reason that many people choose Christianity. Many find themselves experiencing a great sense of freedom and liberty. For them beforehand, whatever god or religious system they were under ... those people felt the weight of living under a religious system. In some cases, the payment that was demanded in some of those systems involved human sacrifice. They were in an endless cycle of Religion, trying to figure out -- what must I do in order appease this god or goddess in order to merit favor and become worthy of the afterlife. Authentic Biblical Christianity is not about "What Must I Do?" ... it's about "It's already been done FOR YOU." That's why it spread like crazy in the 1st Century ... and why it's spreading like crazy inside Iran today, for that matter.

BOOM!! It Looks like the US Military is positioning its chess pieces for the Final checkmate move against the Islamic Republic according to Ali & Armin! Just as I predicted and laid out yesterday ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXDb1tFi300&t=2520s

Those of you who've not heard it yet, I would encourage you to listen to Ali's & Armin's analysis of the significance of US CentCom's move of the USS Boxer into the Persian Gulf. I agree with everything they're saying wholeheartedly ... and will add on to it. Look at the overall picture of what's happening in the region right now. There's a huge coup that's happening in Iraq right now. The US military's apparently moving to join the fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Iraqi Kurds have invaded from the north and are fighting the IRGC in Northern Iran. Mysterious gas leaks apparently continue to be happening as are targeted assassinations by the Immortal Guard. Moving the USS Boxer in the Persian Gulf and away from China says a lot. The Boxer was there near China, in my opinion, to really guard against China taking Taiwan. BUT ... China's plan is heavily dependent upon oil. Whose oil? That's right. Iran's oil. The Islamic Republic ships a good 80-90% of Iran's Oil ... to China. So, what's the apparent move here? In my opinion, President Trump is looking to go after and cut off China's gas pump (petrol station). As Ali suggests, if US Marines are able to stage targeted strikes to capture and take control of key ports and production facilities, then the Islamic Regime's gas pump, for all intents and purposes, is shut off. Not only would that effectively virtually put a halt to China's plans to invade Taiwan ... but the Islamic Regime's chief funding source is basically gone. Not to mention, that such a move (a small ground invasion) would be a whale of an opportunity to perhaps supply arms to the Iranian People. I would love to hear other people's thoughts, opinions, and reactions regarding all of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DjBfWWfwIs

Thank you for your response Danial! I greatly appreciate it. I look forward to hopefully hearing from others of you as well. I’ll respond back to you in a moment Danial, but I want to stop by pausing for a second to frame exactly where I’m coming from and why I’m raising the question in the first place. First of all, let me introduce myself a bit more here and tell you all a bit more of who I am. As I mention in my Bio, I’m an American who was at one time a history teacher. I’ve always had a passion for history even from the time I was a small child. I’ve been watching Iran Revolution Live and following Armin and Goldie since the Lion & Sun Revolution faithfully every day since the uprisings started in January. As I’ve watched him, I definitely feel a bit of a kinship with Armin. Like him, I’m a bit of an analyst. Armin’s obviously Iranian and I’m American. He’s obviously an Atheist … while me on the other hand, I’m a firmly established Theist (Christian). By the way, I’m also a huge supporter of Israel too. I honestly don’t know how you can say you’re a Christian if you don’t love the Jewish People. Genesis 12:3 makes it crystal clear. He told Abram that God would bless those who blessed him and whoever cursed him, God would curse. I fully believe that the reason America has historically experienced the prosperity we have is because of its strong belief in and following God. And I also believe that the reason America is now experiencing the problems that it is now is because (as a nation) we’ve abandoned God. I’ve always been like that Renaissance Man, that curious soul who studies nature, looks at the stars, and just flat out asks why about everything in the Universe and existence. That curiosity of pondering the mysteries of the universe, understanding the world, the depths of the human mind, human nature, and analyzing pretty much everything basically drives basically everything I do. Armin mentioned in a recent broadcast that he likes nerds. To that, I firmly raise my hand. I’m one of those. I’m a Sci Fi Junkie, JRR Tolkien, Lord of the Rings, Etc. kind of guy. By the way, for you fellow Star Trek Fans out there like me, if you’ve not discovered Strange New Worlds yet – OH!!! You are so missing out!!

I just got through watching an excellent presentation by Mohamad Faridi. Faridi is an Iranian who was raised in a militant Muslim Home. He’s a former IRGC Soldier who eventually left Islam, became a Christian, and took refuge in the United States in 2012. He is now an ordained Christian minister and president of Iranian Christians International. Here is a link to his bio … https://iranchristians.org/about-us/ Faridi gave this presentation to a church recently. This was uploaded onto YouTube on June 18th. Most of this presentation is really for the benefit of Americans. He summarizes the history of the rise of Islam throughout time and the history of the past 47 years in Iran, including the protests in January. You Iranians basically know this information already. He begins talking about the fall of Islam within Iran and the rise of Christianity inside Iran around the 42 minute mark. From what he’s saying, they’re seeing thousands of Iranians coming to Christ and it’s spreading rapidly … He also talks about a prophecy in the Bible involving Elam in Jeremiah 49: 34-39 … https://youtu.be/B8Q6wcNcVI4?si=bcPqAh6rUaewAzPc —-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m a former teacher. So, with that being said, here are a few essential driving questions that I’ve been pondering – and I’d encourage you to ask yourselves related to this topic (in no particular order). This is why I’m bringing this topic up in the first place. This way you’ll understand where I’m coming from: 1. Most experts who study Christianity out there agree – Christianity is spreading in Iran faster than anywhere else in the entire world.  The picture that I generally get is that it’s exploding within Iran.  Why?  Why is Christianity growing so rapidly inside of Iran? 2. What would make Christianity so attractive to Iranians?  Clearly, this is a faith that is resonating with a great many of them.
