Iran Falling

Shirat Devorah brought down an interesting hint to what's happening to Iran from Megillat Esther.

Perhaps, there are other hints we can say as well.

Esther 9:22:

כב  כַּיָּמִים, אֲשֶׁר-נָחוּ בָהֶם הַיְּהוּדִים מֵאֹיְבֵיהֶם, וְהַחֹדֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר נֶהְפַּךְ לָהֶם מִיָּגוֹן לְשִׂמְחָה, וּמֵאֵבֶל לְיוֹם טוֹב; לַעֲשׂוֹת אוֹתָם, יְמֵי מִשְׁתֶּה וְשִׂמְחָה, וּמִשְׁלֹחַ מָנוֹת אִישׁ לְרֵעֵהוּ, וּמַתָּנוֹת לָאֶבְיֹנִים.

22 the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

Note that the letters in red - with a letter-skip of 5 - spells out התשל"ט - which is 5739, or the secular year 1979, the start of the Iranian Revolution. 

2 verses later (9:24), it mentions the very last המן in the Megilla.  As we know, the 2 rulers of Iran since the revolution are Khomeini and Khamenei.  Both are pronounced similar to המן.  Both hate Israel and are considered a צרר כל היהודים and חשב על היהודים לאבדם, as that verse says.  They can be considered the last המןs in history just as this verse is the last המן mentioned in the Megilla.

Back to the original verse (9:22), the verse says that the month will turn from sorrow to gladness and from mourning into a Yom Tov.  For the Purim story, this month is obviously referring to Adar, as it explicitly says in the previous verse.  But perhaps we can say that the standalone verse hints to our day, as the letter-skip hints to, and the month therein refers to perhaps Shevat or perhaps Nissan, as I will explain soon.  

In Megillat Esther, the exact phrase פרס ומדי appears (4 times).  Perhaps, the hint is:

פרס - Persia - namely, the government hinted to in Esther 9:22 - 

ומ - for 46+ years

די - it is enough!

It is not destined to complete 47 years.

In order for the regime to fall withing the month it was established, but before it reaches its anniversary (since we need that month to turn from sorrow to joy and it also cannot reach 47 years), there are 2 possibilities. 

In the Iranian Revolution in 5739, the monarchy officially collapsed on Leil Tu Bishvat.  Perhaps, the current regime will collapse within the month of Shevat, but before Tu Bishvat.

If the regime ח"ו survives past then, perhaps we can say:

In the Iranian Revolution of 5739, a referendum that was tallied on the 4th of Nissan "showed" that 98.2% of the people wanted the Islamic Republic, thereby establishing it.  Perhaps, the current regime will collapse within the first 3 days of Nissan.

Time will tell.  

(And if it falls even before Shevat, I won't be too upset about it 😏.)
