The Bible is Black History
Ezra 5 :1-17
When we think of Persians, we often think of what present day Persians look like when we considered how they looked in the past. Here’s what they look like today: Much like history, the entire area known as the “Middle East” has been whitewashed and appropriated. Persia is no exception. In the Bible, Darius I aka Darius The Great is mentioned in the following books:
Ezra
Nehemiah
Daniel
Haggai
Zechariah

"And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." - John 8:45-47
No wonder that the feast of the unleavened bread was kept, and was kept with joy (v.22) and the king of Assyria was supportive of the work of the house of God. It is a timeless principle: obedience brings joy and blessing.
