Above is a basic understanding of Media and Persia from the perspective of an individual that has been studying the material for many years.

Was there really a virgin birth in the Bible? The answer is no.
The virgin birth of Jesus, which is a cornerstone of Christianity (and, as it happens, is important in Islam as well), is described to the unlearned, in clear terms in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Matthew (Matt 1:18) seems to say that Jesus Christ is born to Mary, who becomes pregnant before having sex with her betrothed, Joseph. And Luke (Luke 1:26-35) explains that Mary, a virgin, conceives even though she is a virgin, but what do these statements really mean?
We know that Isaiah 28:9-10 commands us to understand the scriptures by precepts, that is to add up scriptures from line to line in order to get the true understanding of doctrine. When this is done it becomes clear that there was no virgin birth
In Matt 1:22-23, the text says that the virgin birth of Jesus took place to "fulfill" the prophecy that "the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel." Matthew is paraphrasing Isa 7:14.
But he is quoting a mistranslation. The original Hebrew text of Isa 7:14 is not about a virgin. Rather, the Hebrew used to describe the woman in Isa 7:14 is almah, a word that means "young woman." But then the Septuagint, an early translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, took the Hebrew almah and rendered it as the Greek parthenos, which means "virgin."
This inadvertent shift from "young woman" to "virgin" is typical of the Septuagint, and it occurs elsewhere, too. For instance, the Hebrew text of Gen 24:16 describes Rebecca as a "young woman [who was] a virgin" (using na'arah, another Hebrew word for "young woman"). But the Greek in the Septuagint changes that into "a virgin [who was] a virgin." These errors are not surprising, because the Septuagint translators tended not to focus as closely on individual words as some modern readers might like.
In most contexts, calling a "young woman" a "virgin" in the days of the Septuagint would be only a minor translation mistake, hardly even noteworthy, because most young women were virgins, and most female virgins were young women. In modern terms, it would be like mixing up "high schooler" and "teenager"—imprecise perhaps, but good enough for most purposes.
But in one situation, obviously, turning a young woman into a virgin rises to the level of a serious gaffe. And that's when the young woman is pregnant. This is how the Septuagint, through lack of precision, turned an ordinary birth into a virgin birth.
Isa 7:14 is not about a virgin birth except through mistranslation.
This kind of imprecision was common in early Christianity and Judaism. If our modern sensibility balks at Matthew's explanation based on mistranslation and partial matching, the whole issue only highlights how much the very notion of what it means to read the Bible has evolved.

There are many deceptions poisoning the so-called negro who is the biblical Israelite, the very people of Yahawah who is God. One of the biggest deceptions is Rastafarianism. It is a recognized religion and way of life that promotes breaking God's law by smoking weed, worshipping other gods, communing with God's enemies, breaking God's feast days and more.
Many rastas believe that Selassie I is God and or Jesus Christ. They believe he is devine and has provided the best example for all human beings to follow in order to achieve harmony with each other and the planet. This belief is in direct opposition to God's word that teaches the following.
In the above video Haile Selassie, the central figure of Rastafarianism, admits that he is not the Christ and just a man. He also admits that he follows Christ (which is a lie because Christians follow Satan knowingly and unknowingly) What will the rastas do now? Probably still follow their devil(deceiver) worshipping religion.
If you are caught up in any of these deceptions get out now and seek the God of Israel through the counsel of an Israelite. You can reach out to us directly on our social media platforms or find a congregation near you. For a full teaching on Rasta's false doctrine listen here.
Peace be unto you who love God and destruction unto you who hate him. Aman
