No, The Spanish Invaders Have Not All Just ‘Gone Home’

One Ceuta resident posted that around 50,000 invaders remained, the city was collapsed, and the official numbers were pure spin.

The King of Persia Provokes the King of Arabia: A 1,500-Year-Old Text Reads Like Today’s Headlines
Rabbi Yitzchak Goldstein explained this teaching in the Hebrew-language Kikar last week. The teaching comes from Pesikta Rabbati, chapter 36, in the name of Rabbi Yitzchak. In the year the Messiah is revealed, he taught, all the kings of the nations will provoke one another. The king of Persia will provoke the king of Arabia. The identification of Persia with Iran is the simplest piece of this teaching. The nation known today as Iran is the historical core of the land that carried the name Persia for the better part of two thousand years, making “the king of Persia” a natural and direct reference in a modern context. And the confrontation the Midrash describes has a living counterpart this year. The Midrash continues: the king of Arabia will go to Edom to take counsel from them. … .
