Скачать или смотреть War with Iran: This is Biblical

To view what is happening in Iran, merely in military and political terms would be a mistake. It is Biblical.

This week, as Jews throughout the world prepare to read the Book of Esther, events of historic magnitude are unfolding in the very land once known as Persia.

Iran and Israel stand in direct confrontation. The Middle East has been reshaped in ways few believed possible only months ago. The timing is striking. The geography is unmistakable.

Two thousand four hundred years ago, from that same region, a decree emerged that threatened the existence of the Jewish people. The festival of Purim commemorates that moment.

As the ancient words are read again this year, the question before us is not only what is happening in the Middle East, but whether we understand what we are witnessing.

KEY QUESTIONS
Are we witnessing a modern-day Purim?

What does it mean when ancient patterns re-emerge in real time?

Do we recognise hidden miracles while they are still unfolding?
