Persia

These are the days before the Moshiach. Now is the time to stop putting faith in the economy, and instead put it in Hashem, the Real Controller of all wealth.

Studying the book of Daniel (2, 40-44) Rashi and Ibn Ezra, a'h, explain, that the last two exiles will be Ishmael (the Arab Kingdom), and Edom (today, America and Europe); which will end with the upcoming kingdom of the Moshiach.

The holy Zohar, zs'l explains, that in the merit of the Brit Mila of Ishmael, at the age of 13; for each year, his offspring will receive 100 years of power; beginning with the uprising of Muhammad; and ending 1300 years later; approximately now.

However, 'He who sits in Heaven laughs, the Lord will mock them'(Psalms 2:4). In His glory, G-d will wipe them from the face of the earth." Zohar Bashallach, 58b

He [Ishmael] will be a wild man. His hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand will be against him. (Genesis 16:12 )

Why is he called Ishmael? Because in the future, G-d will listen to the cry of the [Jewish] nation, for what the children of Ishmael will do in the future, at the end of days.

As it says (Psalms 55:20) ‘G-d will listen and answer’ (Midrash Pirkei d’Rabbi Eliezer ch. 32. Yalkut Mechiri Psalms 177).

The King of Persia will bring destruction to the entire world, and all the nations will be outraged and confused… and Jews will be outraged and confused, and they will say: where shall we come and go, where shall we come and go?

G-d will answer them: My children, do not be afraid. Everything I have done, I have done for you . Why are you afraid. Do not fear, the time of your Redemption has arrived. (Midrash, Yalkut, Isaiah remez 499 )

Three chaotic wars will be perpetrated by the children of Ishmael at the end of days… one at sea… one on land… and one in a large city, which will be harder than the previous two…

And from there Moshiach will sprout, and we will witness their destruction. And from there we will go to Eretz Yisroel {the Land of Israel] (Midrash, Yalkut, Isaiah, remez 506 )

"Jews have been in four exiles; at the very end of time, there will be a fifth and last exile, which is called the Exile of Ishmael (lit., 'G-d will hear'); which will be the most terrible and difficult of all.

And because of the many afflictions, the Jews will suffer, they will cry to G-d, and He will hear their prayers (Yishma – keil / G-d will hear)." Etz Daas Tov by Rabbi Chaim Vital

In the future, G-d will revive (reincarnate) and reinstate all the kings who oppressed the Jewish people and ruled Jerusalem: Adrianus, Lupinus, Nevuchadnezzar, Sancheriv, and all the others who destroyed His house.

They will unite with other nations. The Lord will announce: 'And this will be the plague with which G-d will smite all the nations that mobilized against Jerusalem...' (Zechariah 14:12)." Zohar II, 58.
