PART 2
Who are the Persians?
- The Persians are Achaemenian people!
“The Achaemenid Empire or Achaemenian Empire,[17] also known as the Persian Empire[17] or First Persian Empire[18] (/əˈkiːmənɪd/; Old Persian: 𐎧𐏁𐏂, Xšāça, lit. 'The Empire'[19] or 'The Kingdom'[20]), was an Iranian empire founded by Cyrus the Great of the Achaemenid dynasty in 550 BC. Based in modern-day Iran, it was the largest empire by that point in history, spanning a total of 5.5 million square kilometres (2.1 million square miles). The empire spanned from the Balkans and Egypt in the west, most of West Asia, the majority of Central Asia to the northeast, and the Indus Valley of South Asia to the southeast.” [11]
Q. Who are Achaemenians?
- The children of Achaemenes
“The Achaemenid Empire borrows its name from the ancestor of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the empire, Achaemenes. The term Achaemenid means "of the family of the Achaemenis/Achaemenes" (Old Persian: 𐏃𐎧𐎠𐎶𐎴𐎡𐏁, romanized: Haxāmaniš;[25] a bahuvrihi compound translating to "having a friend's mind").[26] Achaemenes was himself a minor seventh-century ruler of the Anshan in southwestern Iran, and a vassal of Assyria.[12]”
Q. Who is Achaemenes?
- a minor seventh-century ruler of the Anshan (see paragraph above)
- Anshan is of great importance in Elamite history[13]
- Q. Why is it of great importance?
A. We’ll get back to that!
- A man shrouded in mystery for some
In the Behistun inscription (c. 520 BC), Darius I portrays Achaemenes as the father of Teispes, ancestor of Cyrus II (Cyrus the Great) and Darius I.[1] The mid-5th century BC Histories (7.11) of Herodotus has essentially the same story, but fuses two parallel lines of descent from "Teispes son of Achaemenes". Beyond such brief mentions of the name, nothing is known of the figure behind it, neither from indigenous sources nor from historiographic ones.
- Full disclosure a minority of ppl believe that he is a mythical figure but I through biblical lens and scholarly research know he was not
- It may be that Achaemenes was just a mythical ancestor, not a historical one.[14]
- A person MANY Edomite scholars believe ruled Parsumash (see footnote 9 or 14)
[Many scholars believe he [Achaemenes] was a ruler of Parsumash, a vassal state of the Median Empire, and that from there he led armies against the Assyrian king Sennacherib at the Battle of Halule in 691 BC. - An Elamite.
- The historical record has not connected the Persians with the Elamites but the bible sure has
- Daniel 2:26,30-40 & Isaiah 21:1-10 The bible refers to the destroyers of Babylon as a world ruler and Media and Elam whereas the historical record tells us that it was the Persians
- We know the Medes in the prophecy are the Japhites ie Asians so then who is Elam?
- The only answer we’re left with as we look through the biblical lens is the Persian!
- Equipped with this knowledge we can now properly interpret the following pieces of research, seeing that the Elamites are the Persians
