HaRav Yehuda Saadia
I've typed up quite a lot of the transcript. It is auto-dubbed if you watch the video on You Tube, there are also sub-titles available in any language. I'm still typing, so come back later to read the rest.
Paras and Edom, each one is destined to fall into the hands of the other.
Although today it's called Iran, it was originally Paras, and the Persians are one of the only people who have kept their identity until this day. Most Persians are truly the Persians of old.
The Gemara in Tractate Kiddushin says "Ten measures of strength descended to the world, nine were taken by the Persians and one by the rest of the world." Meaning that the Iranians.... the Persians.... have a strength that no-one else in the world has, except for the people of Israel. Iran has been granted a special strength and power because they are seemingly meant to be a challenge to the people of Israel.
We don't know the ways of Heaven, but Iran is in a different league.
The Persians would be the greatest opponents of the people of Israel until the last moment.
Midrash Esther Rabbah 1:1 - why are they called Paras, what is this name? What is this name Ishmael? Everything has a Divine purpose. Paras is so-called because it received the Kingdom in pieces... one in the days of historical reference and one in the Days to Come. In the Days to Come, before the arrival of the Moshiach, the Iranians will receive great global power before they get their final fall.
The Maharal says in his commentary [and he has things that only the Creator of the World could transmit to him] in Sanhedrin 98a he says that when the kingdom of wickedness spreads in the world, then the kingdom of Mashiach ben David will begin to grow. He talks about the End Times. Then he mentions the Gemara in Tractate Yoma about who will defeat who. In our current language: Iran defeats the United States and the United States defeats Iran.
He says that the Kingdom of Persia will rule in the end. He writes it explicitly. The final Kingdom remaining will be Persia because it relates to the Kingdom of Moshiach and Royalty. Persia will have global prominance and after that comes Moshiach, b'ezrat Hashem.
So you understand what kind of Divine plan we have here. Everything is planned.
