I have been looking around on websites about the Iranian Christian persecution. If a Muslim converts to Christianity, then he/she is arrested and executed. The largest population for Christianity in Iran is the Armenians and the Assyrians. However, more people are turning from Islam to Christianity when they hear the truth. They do this in secret and do not reveal to anyone who they are. This is rumored to number around 30,000. One of the greatest rulers was Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia. There is a good description in the Old Testament about him in the book of Ezra.
On a personal note, I pray that all people of Iran will one day be free from the tyranny of an evil regime bent on the destruction of its own people as well as the destruction of Christianity and Israel. I pray that Yeshua will open more eyes and hearts in Iran to his word which is truth. Christians in America, Canada, UK, Australia, as well as the other free countries, need to realize that our persecution by keeping those laws out of our Govt is no where near the persecution that the middle eastern Christians and Jews have to face. We are not imprisoned, nor tortured like our brothers and sisters that turn from Islam to Christianity in the middle east.
To all Persians living within and outside Iran, my prayers are with all of you always. You are all my brothers and sisters through Yeshua. May God bless each and every one!
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness's sake: for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.
