IsraRan? (Part 2)

See the series here

Let’s continue to consider whether the eastern border of the predicted greatly expanded Israel during The Millennial Reign age—the 5th age of our history, might include a substantial portion of Iran. (See: Human History Ages (Series)) Part 1 notes two opinions among Bible scholars on this matter. One view limits the borders to an invisible line up to/stopping at the Euphrates River. Another view incorporates the entire eastern Euphrates River basin, not just the western basin (drainage area). The eastern basin includes a substantial portion of south-western Iran.

Which Lands Affected?

It is worth understanding which current-day land areas might be included in such a vast expansion of the millennial Israel. ChatGPT estimates the following: 

The narrow area estimate includes:

• Israel

• Gaza

• West Bank

• Lebanon

• Most of Syria

• Western Jordan

• Northern Saudi Arabia

• Northern Sinai Peninsula

 

The expanded area estimate includes:

• Israel

• Gaza

• West Bank

• Lebanon

• All of Syria

• Most of Iraq

• Most of Jordan

• Northern Saudi Arabia

• Kuwait

• Southeastern Turkey

• Western Iran (Zagros region feeding Mesopotamia)

• Northern Sinai

The difference is massive!  

The post, Iran - Israel Yo-Yo Past and Future, provides a brief historical context of relations between Abram (renamed Abraham) and his descendants through Jacob, (renamed Israel), and western Iran ancestors. That review might be helpful in our attempt to understand the future The Lord might have in mind for the land across these areas.

 

The Millennial Reign Age Population

 

It stands to reason that, in making the land-grant to Abraham and his descendants, The Lord foreknew, and thus considered: 

 

1. All the pending occupants and functional uses of that land from the moment of His promise, until just before the start, AND the end of The Millennial Reign age—the 5th age of our history;

 

2. His plans to substantially reshape that land during His planned, TOTAL RENOVATION of Earth and of CIVILIAZTION on Earth, from how we currently know it. This will be the likely results of: 

  

— The predicted global impacts of opening the 6th seal in Revelation 6:12-17, and

— Especially the trumpets and bowls judgments of the apocalypse during the latter half (42 months) of the 4th age—especially the final GREAT earthquake judgment of the apocalypse—the 7th bowl judgment!

 

3. All the predicted occupants and functional uses of that land during His thousand-year reign as Earth’s global king, and possibly extending into the predicted, short 6th and final age of history on this current Earth, a topic briefly noted in Revelation 20:7-9.

 

As The Lord God Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of all created things, He does not make promises from a myopic mindset as we tend to do. Considering the above points, this is what I perceive: 

 

A. Re. point #1 above, our past history reveals, and our pre-5th age, future history will reveal info about that land. News reports scream developments across much of that land even as I write! (March 2026).

B. Re. point #2 above, The Bible records a GREAT earthquake occurred at the close of the 1st and the 2nd ages of our history. Moreover, it predicts:

 

— A GREAT earthquake will possibly close this current 3rd age (See: The 6th Seal, Civilization’s Reset? (Part 2)); 

 

— A GREAT earthquake will close the 4th age, 'like none other since mankind was “on” the Earth!' (See: Global Earthquake Confirmed (Poem));

 

— A GREAT earthquake will break-up and dissolve Earth at the end of the 6th age, before the MASSIVE, NEW, ETERNAL Earth will be revealed. (See: Earth’s Next Versions (Series)) 

 

In light of our history and these incredible predictions, what remains is for us to review some aspects of point #3 above—what The Lord foreknew and likely considered when He made the land-grant to Abraham and his descendants. Let's see if that review might shed some light on the possible eastern border and the likely size of the Millennial Israel.
