Tehran – A social media page attributed to the famous Iranian writer and poet Mohammad Reza Shafie Kadkani published some of the Old Testament texts on Monday, and then cited “the secret of Iran’s survival” in both Hebrew words by Iranian literary critic, translator and poet Mohammad Ali Eslamin.
Shafiei Kadkani, one of the nation’s literary figures, cited the text from the Torah and chapter 3 of the ninth Zephaniah of the 12 minor prophets of the Old Testament and Tanah’s.
Zephaniah (prosperity in the 7th century BC) is said to be an Israelite prophet and author of the short Old Testament prophet.
In Zepania 3:1-8, the Prophet declares a series of anguish over the city of Jerusalem, highlighting its rebellion and corruption. The passage describes the city as rebellious, polluted and oppressive, and is likened to predatory animals by its leaders.
Zephaniah began chapter 3 by telling the deadly sins of Jerusalem. People were accused of taking part in evil deeds despite listening to God, trusting him, and publicly stating his devotion to him.
“To her rebellious and contaminated, to the oppressing city! She has not followed his voice, she has not undergone corrections. She does not trust the Lord, she is not drawn near God,” the text read.
“The prince in her middle is the lion’s roar. Her judge is an evening wolf who does not leave his bones until the morning. They have committed violence against the law. The Lord is righteous in her midst. He does not unrighteousness.
Despite God’s righteousness and consistent justice, people refuse to listen to him or accept his corrections. This passage also details the destruction of other countries as a warning, but Jerusalem continues its path of corruption.
Zephaniah’s book contains fierce images of God’s justice and hope. Zephania warns Israel and its surrounding nations that God judges the nation by burning fire when God cleanses them from sin, evil and violence. However, this cleansing opens up a new future where all humanity can flourish.
The post has been linked to the current situation in Iran as Israel launched a massive, unprovoked armed attack early in the morning of June 13th, and has since targeted nuclear facilities aimed at protecting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through the protection of residential areas, private infrastructure, public authorities and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), through the protection of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and through the drain strike. The attacks brought the martial teaching of senior military commanders, prominent scientists, and innocent civilians.
The post by 85-year-old Shafiei Kadukani contains another text by Eslami Nodushan (1924-2022) entitled “The Secrets of Iran’s Survival.” In the events of the world, pressure was on from all sides, but did not retreat from the field. ”
“It wasn’t too far from the Appadana Palace to the clay house of Hafez, Shiraz, and at one point I was in control of visible areas.
“There is one mystical point in all Iran’s history, and that is the secret to its survival. When all the doors appear to be closed, will an unexpected door open that can save itself? “So what we call “Iranian policy” was guaranteed by the power of renewal and “recreation according to requirements.” ”
“Requirements-based recreation” means that the requirements of the new circumstances that arise have been respected without changing the principles of “policy.” The exterior has changed, but it (Iran) didn’t consider it important.
Shafiei Kadkani concluded his post by calling him “Iranian soldiers” at the end of the text.
