The Bitter Fruit of Islamic Law is Driving People to Jesus
In a dramatic turn of events, Iran—long known for its strict enforcement of Islamic law and its harsh treatment of dissent—may be experiencing a profound transformation in its religious landscape. Recent reports suggest an unprecedented wave of Muslims are converting to Christianity, leading to the closure of numerous mosques and a significant shift in the country’s spiritual climate.
According to recent coverage, over a million Muslims have left their faith to embrace Christianity, and two-thirds of Iran’s mosques have reportedly shut down. This remarkable development has caught the attention of global observers and highlights a burgeoning “Jesus Revolution” within one of the world’s most restrictive nations. The movement is driven by widespread disillusionment with the current situation—rampant corruption, high drug addiction rates, and pervasive poverty.
The Iranian government, known for its severe repression of religious freedoms, has reacted with increasing hostility towards this growing Christian community. Despite the regime’s crackdown on home churches and Bible studies, many converts are finding solace and purpose in their new faith, often sharing their testimonies in discreet and clandestine ways. This quiet but determined shift could be indicative of a larger trend across the Muslim world, where similar awakenings are being reported.
Mark Biltz, known for his insightful analysis of biblical prophecy and current events, could provide a unique perspective on this emerging phenomenon. His expertise in connecting scriptural prophecy with modern-day occurrences offers a fascinating lens through which to view the “Jesus Revolution” in Iran.
Joining us is Pastor Mark Biltz, author of America At War: 2024-2026
