No matter when in the timeline of history you pick up this teaching letter, the significance of Iran will be relevant. Whether you look to the ancient writings of the Hebrew Scriptures or scroll through today’s headlines, you’ll find that Iran continues to impact nations and, in some ways, your life. In His sovereignty, God has used the nation of Iran in many ways to further His glory and fame throughout the world. Biblically speaking, modern-day Iran is known as ancient Persia. Let’s dive in and see what the Bible says about Persia.

In 2023, the core Jewish population—or the number of people identifying as Jews above all else—was approximately 15.7 million worldwide. That’s a pretty tiny number when you consider there are about 8.2 billion people alive today. Since October 7, 2023, that miniscule Jewish population has garnered a disproportionate share of the world’s hatred. It would be safe to say that the intensity with which Jews have been called to defend the actions of the State of Israel during the past year has been unprecedented.
Israel has long struggled with public perception. Is she a democracy or an apartheid state? What about the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)? Is it the world’s most moral army determined to defend its citizens or an aggressive occupying force? With much of the world hurling baseless accusations at them, Israelis—as well as Jews who live in the Diaspora (outside of Israel)—have been reaching out to one another. One of the many ways they have been encouraging their community is through grassroots initiatives.
National Director of Bridges for Peace USA, Patrick Verbeten and Planned Giving Manager, Andy Benedick talk through recent Israel events and how your year-end donations and planned gifts can sustain our impact in 2025.
