A promise made to Abraham. A land contested for millennia. And a conflict that has come to be seen by many as the fulfillment of ancient prophecy. This episode explores how the biblical promise of land to Israel, and the prophetic role of ancient Persia—modern Iran—are used to frame the Israel-Iran conflict. From the prophecy of Jeremiah about the captives of Elam, to Ezekiel's end-times coalition, to the ideological clash between religious Zionism and Iran's Islamic resistance, this is the story of how scripture and geopolitics became intertwined.
